First book entry
I am reading From Telling to Teaching by Joye Norris, PhD and are currently enjoying the book. Currently, I work in Aurora Public Schools as a School Social Worker and work with students, parents and teachers providing direct service/support and consultative training services. I am fortunate to have a lot of autonomy in my job and have incorporated more parental training into my position. While earning this degree from CSU, I am concurrently earning a Linguistically Diverse Educator certificate from Regis University. Recently, there has been some overlap in regards to teaching and instructing adult learners and adult learners who have English as a second language. Regarding the book, Norris provides some accurate, timely and useful information. The tools and resources are relevant and easily implemented. I am excited about this book and the helpful information that will be obtained from it.
