Better Prepared Candidates
By: Loretta Shiver

I invite all area teachers to participate in an exchange of students prior to Teacher Training. I would like to send my students to visit and participate in several other teachers’ classes toward the latter half of class sessions. I would also like to invite you all to send your students to visit my classes. In this way we can begin to get to know one another but more importantly our students can begin to see that while there may be some minor differences in the execution of movements between individuals, the essence remains the same. Also, each one of us has something unique to offer; think how much better our students will be prepared with many teachers supporting them.
I would also like to plan a few gatherings in the months preceeding the accreditation course. Teachers and their teacher candidates could meet and practice together and discuss anything that may come up. It would be very good for all of us to come together before Teacher Training starts.
