"...Teaching, though taxing, is an exhilirating profession.
You never know where it will lead you. It continues to be one great
adventure, with the teacher being both teacher and learner. Working with the
e-mentor program has provided me with an opportunity to work closely with
new teachers in their 1st and 2nd year of teaching. Together we seek ways to
strengthen their teaching in areas such as classroom management, lab
writeups, and using alternative materials, such as scientific articles. I
have the best of both worlds. I work with students and novice teachers."
