Re: ISED/ New Member Introduction

Hi, Bill!

Welcome to the group! I'm glad to hear you want to go into teaching,
and that you are preparing well in advance. This is listserve is a
great resource. Many of us also belong to ISENET, a social networking
site for independent school educators at isenet.ning.com.

I would suggest that, besides online resources, you also start looking
through some books on teaching, develop and make contacts (both for
job possibilities and for support), observe a few classes here and
there, maybe audit a course somewhere. If you tell us what subject(s)
and level(s) interest you, we may have some suggestions for all of the
above.

Good luck!

Take care,
Bill Ivey
Stoneleigh-Burnham School
