Sharing life stories

The most influential moments in any course are when peers/colleagues share personal stories that allow others insight into how and why we become teachers. The autobiographical drafts composed yesterday and then shared today in small, preselected groups was a beneficial activity to my course experience: new friendships forged and new lessons about how conditioned behaviors affect our choices in life (such as becoming teachers). Yep, Qualley's work was in progress today through me; I was reflexive regarding my own upbringing and adult choices in comparison (and contrast) to my peers/colleagues. We in south-east Ohio have much in common. All teachers are inquiry-minded or have the ability to be.
