where+are+you?

Hi everyone....remember me? I certainly remember all of you.

I'm back at OISE working with History candidates this year. My students are going out for practicum next week. I started to wonder what all of you are up to....are you teaching for a Board, supply teaching or entered a whole new world?

I also wanted to share a couple of stories with you about people I taught a couple of years ago. Both people did not get any interviews when they finished at OISE. Rather then get totally discouraged they took several AQ courses during the last year mainly in the area of Special Education. They also kept up-dating their applications with schools and Boards. The good part of the story is that even after a full year out of OISE they were hired the last week of August for contract jobs. One in TDSB and the other with a very highly regarded private school.

I would love to hear from you. Tell me what you are up to and any advice for me that would help me with my current class of students.

Best regards, Bernie
