The Lives of English Teachers: A Readers' Theatre Performance
Read By Dr. David Schaafsma (University of Illinois at Chicago), Dr. Randi Dickson (Teachers College in New York), and Dr. Gian Pagnucci (IUP)

Narrated by Sarah Rutter (University of Illinois at Chicago)

Wednesday--November 18th at 8:00 p.m.

in the Hadley Union Building (HUB), Monongahela Room

Most training for teachers focuses on classroom practices: what books to use, what tasks to assign, and what methods to employ. Even most discussions of educational philosophies and pedagogies focus on how teachers should behave in the school or university setting. But teaching is a 24/7 occupation. The best teachers are always thinking about their teaching, and trying to meld that teaching life into the rest of their existence. This readers' theatre performance (where a text is read aloud in semi-dramatic style by the authors) focuses on the chaotic nature of teaching lives, both inside and outside the classroom. The reading will be accompanied by music and hopes to engage the audience in rethinking their own ideas about what it means to engage in the teaching life.

Thank You!
 

I want to thank

all the Composition & TESOL students and alumni

who nominated me for

 

The 2009 Mentor of the Year Award.

 

I was very honored to win this award

and to receive this fabulous recognition.

IUP's C&T program has so many wonderful students,

and it has been my great privilege to work with many of you

during my 15 years of teaching at this university.

Thanks again.



 

Brett Favre Returns to Lambeau Field

 

 

It's the Game that never should have happened!

Lots of people have asked me,

"How do you feel about Brett Favre being a Viking?"

My answer is, if I was coaching the Packers,

Brett would still be wearing green and gold.

When Tom Brady got hurt last season,

the Patriots didn't cut their future Hall of Famer.

So what was Packers management thinking?

I'm hoping Brett has one last magical ride

to the Super Bowl left in him.

And I'll be cheering him all the way.
