March 17th - Spring Break

This week we did not have class due to spring break, but our applications for the teaching assistantship we due during the week. I asked Dr. Howard for a letter of recommendation, as I have worked with him in the MATRF and he has seen me make presentations in class. I also asked my fiance', Christina D'Elia to write a short letter for me since I will be guest lecturing for her classes some time next week and we have worked together on crafting a lesson plan. In addition to asking for letters of recommendation, I wrote a short letter about my previous teaching experience for the application. This not only was a necessary part of the application, but also gave me the chance to look back in my collegiate education and my work experience to see the various times that I have had a chance to teach others. I had more experience than I would have thought! I'm really looking forward to being able to expand on this.
