2. The ‘Professionalism’ component officially kicked off as we entered Week Three of the regular term. In conjunction with the TPI concepts, what are your plans and activities for jumpstarting the two as a ‘good-fit blend’

Renew Your InterestEnhance Your Instruction

Build Wisely!!

So it is with us-if we do not give our best

efforts to our students, then we must live in the house we built, encountering our graduates in career fields where they are not trained to do their best because we did not require it of them.

Think of yourself as the carpenter. Think of your students as the house you are building. Each day as you place a board, and hammer a

nail, do so wisely with your best effort. Your attitudes and the choices you make today will affect your life tomorrow.

The Best Build will become the Best Practice!!!
