Katie is our spring "intern." She graduated from Williams two years ago and has spent the past year teaching at an international school in Brazil. She is currently working on her elementary certification, observing classes at the local elementary school here in Oxford, working at the MTC office twice a week, and completing assignments for me, which have included reading selected articles from my delicious account (and blogging about them), reading "Reluctant Disciplinarian" (and blogging about it) and talking to Ann Monroe (and blogging about it). Read Katie's blog, and leave comments, here.

Here's a quote from Katie's post on classroom management (the topic of which has stirred up quite a controversy on Michelle's blog):

Dr. Monroe explained that classroom management is the same in all schools. However, the more chaotic the school environment, the longer it might take students to adjust to the particular organized routines and procedures of your classroom. I do not have any first-hand experience to back that statement up. Does anyone else have experiences that confirm or refute her idea?

For the summer internship we received 23 applications for eight spots (six of which are being paid through outside sources).
