I'm grateful for... the continual challenge to be a better teacher every single day -- it keeps things interesting!
I'm grateful for the the days where everything goes as planned..technology works, discussions are meaningful, and the students grasps the concepts...While this sometimes feels like the exception and not the rule. I appreciate the days that seem to fly by without any problems...
I'm grateful for being continually refreshed by a new group of students each semester, students who continue to teach ME about how they learn and how I can continue to improve my teaching.
I am particularly grateful this semester to have some "live wires" in all three of my classes. These active students make my job so much easier --and more fun for everyone. When I teach two sections of a course, one of the sections is often more enjoyable than the other. I attribute this dichotomy to the presence of students who volunteer answers, questions, comments, etc. that enable that class to move beyond the basics that I initially provide. I believe that student participation is an absolutely critical classroom component.

I am grateful for the chance to continuously learn and study with the students. I am thankful the daily challenge of working to provide opportunities for students to get excited and help them understand the role they play in their own life long learning.
