I had to attend a whole day training last Saturday as required by the State for Child Care licensing. It was a very enlightening and productive training except for the crappy weather. And one of the things that really struck me was the topic on the “responsibility” of [...]]]> http://www.ruthilicious.com/2010/03/01/subject-matter-responsibility/feed/ 1 http://www.ruthilicious.com/2008/09/11/the-teacher%e2%80%99s-middle-name/ http://www.ruthilicious.com/2008/09/11/the-teacher%e2%80%99s-middle-name/#comments Thu, 11 Sep 2008 18:36:27 +0000 Ruthi http://www.ruthilicious.com/2008/09/11/the-teacher%e2%80%99s-middle-name/ One of the best lessons I learned from my students is patience.

But surprise… surprise… who could have thought that one day I would wake up to a brand new day with the word [...]]]> http://www.ruthilicious.com/2008/09/11/the-teacher%e2%80%99s-middle-name/feed/ 6 http://www.ruthilicious.com/2008/09/02/my-former-students%e2%80%99-passion/ http://www.ruthilicious.com/2008/09/02/my-former-students%e2%80%99-passion/#comments Tue, 02 Sep 2008 20:09:16 +0000 Ruthi http://www.ruthilicious.com/2008/09/02/my-former-students%e2%80%99-passion/ One of my greatest joy as a teacher is when my former students still remember me after so many years of being away from their dear Alma Mater. It makes me proud being their teacher. Some of them are very verbal about how I made a difference in their lives. But what they don’t realize is [...]]]> http://www.ruthilicious.com/2008/09/02/my-former-students%e2%80%99-passion/feed/ 3 http://www.ruthilicious.com/2008/08/29/the-out-of-school-teacher/ http://www.ruthilicious.com/2008/08/29/the-out-of-school-teacher/#comments Fri, 29 Aug 2008 13:03:40 +0000 Ruthi http://www.ruthilicious.com/2008/08/29/the-out-of-school-teacher/ This is my second year as an out-of-school teacher. If we have what we call “out-of-school youth” [school-age kids who are not in school for varied reasons like – poverty, truancy, and lost of interest just to name a few] we also have what we call “out-of-school teachers” [professionals and educators who supposed to [...]]]> http://www.ruthilicious.com/2008/08/29/the-out-of-school-teacher/feed/ 11 http://www.ruthilicious.com/2008/08/22/in-the-classroom/ http://www.ruthilicious.com/2008/08/22/in-the-classroom/#comments Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:59:07 +0000 Ruthi http://www.ruthilicious.com/2008/08/22/in-the-classroom/ For 11 long years, my life evolved within the confines of the 4 corners of the classroom.
