Welcome to the first entry in my Literacy for Ted blog. Ted's an online class I'm taking through University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I'm a lateral entry teacher working on my teacher certification. Here you can follow some of my experiences in a class that looks to be extremely applicable to my present teaching role at First Flight High School in Kill Devil Hills, North Carolina. I teach Carpentry/Construction Technology but stress communication skills like writing, reading, and use of the spoken word along with carpentry skills.
Our school is one mile from the high tide line of the Atlantic Ocean. Ironically, Hurricane Earl is grinding toward us as a Cat 2 storm leaving the Virgin Islands in its wake, and expected to intensify and reach Cat 3 or 4 intensity.We'll wait and see what happens. In the meantime I'll focus on Literacy for Ted.
