Essex Campus Academy

So this is the first post of the 2010/2011 school year. I am plugging along with this dissertation. I have had one focus group so far and Gary and Dan are recording class sessions for me. I have had the chance to discuss the classroom data with Arthur and a couple of other PhD candidates last week. I am working full time at an alternative school in Fairfield. It has been an amazing experience. Arthur Kate and Kevin are keeping me moving along with analyzing the data. Which is pretty amazing because I am tempted to lag behind with my new job and all of the craziness. I am literally helping them to vamp up their science program while helping to write the curriculum and revving up the students who really want to learn at their level. I have so much to say about this new job and all that I am learning from the conversations with Gary and Dan. Stay tuned....
