I love that you are so nervous about this. ...Nic,<br /><br />I love that you are so nervous about this. That tells me you really care about your students and the learning they experience. I'm happier knowing there are teachers such as yourself out there guiding the learning of our youth today.<br /><br />I've posted a <a href="http://shanetechteach.edublogs.org/2009/08/31/the-importance-of-letting-go/" rel="nofollow">blogpost</a> sort of in response to this, and it considers an alternate viewpoint. I would challenge you that taking a step back does not necessarily mean the intellectual conversations are reduced. I'd challenge you that to develop the ability to nurture these conversations in another teacher is just as important as having them yourself.<br /><br />Ultimately I am glad you are taking responsibility for the development of a future teacher (willingly or not!), I learn from you regularly and you have a significant influence on my practice. Knowing you are influencing the practice of others is comforting.Shanehttp://shanetechteach.edublogs.orgnoreply@blogger.com
