Write It Down!
It's true that you - as a teacher - have a lot to share. Perhaps you
have experienced an incredible workshop, taught an innovative course, read
an inspiring book, or worked successfully with at-risk students. Mentor
would like to invite all teachers to write an article for the newsletter
and share that experience. Consider what you have to offer and begin to
write it down.

I couldn't like." She could write volumes about attitude in the classroom.
