A kind note from a young teacher who came to campus to observe my AP psychology class:
… It was truly a pleasure meeting you and observing (and therefore learning from) your teaching in action! Thank you so much for helping out a friend of a friend! I learned so much in one day of observation than I have been able to manage on my own in the past quarter and a half of teaching! Thank you for your time & for your kindness…
I count each opportunity to share what I know and do as a tiny fraction of payment toward the insurmountable debt I owe to those teachers and colleagues from whom I have learned so much.
