Ike the tee-shirt and the shower cap for hands-on teaching methods.

I like the dot on the watch to keep up with students and their skills for the day.

I learned that it is okay to try different teaching styles and that YouTube is an excellent source of teaching materials.

I learned the importance of grading rubrics and portfolios and true assessment of course learning objectives.

Language reflects culture, and so by silencing a person's language, we can actually silence the person's culture or make the student feel that his/her home culture is irrelevant.

Culture vs Race: I agree that culture is a shared pattern of behaviors and interactions, cognitive constructs, and race can be defined by many external differences.

The on-site supervisors and the school's intern coordinator should always communicate openly about the progress of the students' weekly assignments and projects.

Internship supervisors play a significant role for the intern; they should clearly understand the supervisor's and the intern's responsibilities. Most importantly, they should identify professional-level duties and tasks of significant quality and quantity and clearly delineate the relationship of the internship to the educational program.
