Dear Carol,
I have enjoyed your dialogue. I have an Eisenhower consultant
position in a very, very poor county of Virginia. I will leave
Sunday for two weeks. From past experience and from present
contact with the teacher that will be my aide, I am learning
that there are many different teacher cultures. Teaching the
adults that I will work with will necessitate that I learn
about them and address their needs, not necessarily what I
think that they need. Yet, I am hired to teach them content
and pedagogy based on the Virginia SOL's (Standards of
Learning).
This causes me much thinking about myself and how I can best
serve these very poor, very dedicated rural teachers.

Cheers!
