Part Two of the MTC 2007 Summer Intern film.  Watch Part One here.

Here is part one of the two-part MTC 2007 Summer Intern film (part two should be up next week).  Last year, I made a not-so-serious film about the summer internship (see the 2006 Summer Intern film here).  This year I wanted to do something a little more representative of the internship experience...

Reggie Barnes, former Superintendent for the West Tallehatchie School District, meets Lauryn Smith, MTC 2007 Summer Intern:

Lauryn Smith, our fabulous MTC 2007 Summer Intern, recently completed a survey of administrators at schools where we placed first-year teachers.  This is the third year we have done such a survey.  Each year the summer intern is responsible for the survey and report.  2005 Summer Intern Ginny Best started this project off two years ago.  2006 Summer Intern Molly Goldwasser, now a first-year MTCer, continued the project last year.  And now Lauryn.  Check out the results...

Last Saturday, second-year Ashley Johnson and I showed Lauryn Smith, the fabulous MTC intern, around the Mississippi Delta.  We toured Greenwood and Money and parts in between.

Money is the small town where Emmit Till was tortured and murdered (interestingly enough, Till's Wikipedia page has caused a heated debate).  The store, where he committed the unpardonable crime of whistling at a white woman, is still standing (barely).  Photos of the trip are below.  More photos here...
