That sounds interesting. You got some good news about your teaching methods! God bless.

Everyone seemed so engrossed listening to Mr. Mandy there.

• Yup, we were. He is a very good resource person, Lynn. So down-to-earth even if he has worked abroad. No airs, still the same Amado that I know years ago

i agree … if you want to do well with your chosen field, it’s always good to keep yourself updated and do additional researching and stuffs.

• 100% yes to that Maiylah Don’t want to be outdated, especially with new and better methods being developed.

My WS

• Teaching special children does not come easy, that I have learned early on. Yup, dedication and passion are both strong  words that should define teachers. Thank you, Girlie

What an interesting way to spend your weekend. Have a great week ahead.

Learning is fun. I’m sure you are a very good teacher. Happy WS.

learning is fun! hope you’ll visit mine too.

• Yes, learning is fun. Thanks for the visit

learn something new is always good

My Weekend Snapshot in here

• Yes, learning something new is always good, especially for the benefit of not just one’s self but for others too

I find it really important to remain adaptable to anything. By simply exposing to outside input and new techniques can improve ourselves then we strive to make things better.

Interesting weekend you got there.

• I agree with you about being adaptable. Unlike the old school kind of teaching, new, better and adaptive techniques should be used because times have changed. Thanks for the visit K

That sounds very interesting and good to stay on top of the latest techniques in your field.

• Yes,Carver, not just in our field. Even in blogging that applies Thanks for the visit!

Julie, my whole family is in special education here in the States. What a coincidence! My sister-in-law is a principal of District 75 (very young children)… You are all very special teachers.

My Weekend Snapshot

• Really, Mary? I already took my Praxis 2 in Preschool Special Education, just in case I get a job offer with the agency I’m applying to. But I still am thinking about it since I would have to spend around  usd20k++ just to get to the USA to teach. And I don’t have that dough. Regards to your SIL.  Btw, I already visited the website of District 75 in NY when I read your comment last Monday

The teaching profession is a noble one! Keep it up and have a great week ahead!

• Yup, it is noble, not exactly a walk in the park, lol! Thanks for the visit

living is learning

learning is a continuous process. your weekend must have been fun and productive.

• I agree with you about learning being a continuous process. Yes, it was fun and productive. Thanks for the visit, Dine

Interesting. It is important to keep up with the changing times. We need to constantly upgrade and learn new methods of teaching. Kids are so different from the past.

• Re kids are so different from the past. So true, ECL so I am careful too not to forget about teaching about our heritage, especially with my own children. Even other Asian countries have changed too. Thanks for dropping by

Sounds like an interesting time. I’m glad you got to do something you got to learn more about something you have a passion for, teaching. Happy WS.

• Sharon, we teachers need to do this. And part of the learning process is we learn how others do things that we do, however differently, yet we still learn. Thanks for dropping by

my sis-in-law is also a sped teacher here in the Philippines while waiting for her visa to work in the US.

• It is so expensive getting a visa and going to the US to teach. Is your SIL with an agency?

You are a professor ? wah…
