PLC Question
Heather,
A good rule of thumb is to start with the district schedule. The SPED 801 instructor has traditionally allowed students to leave early on the few days there are PLCs. But one should always be respectful, not presumptuous or demanding, and ask her if this is possible. Remember, UNL coursework always is the priority in the fall. Wednesdays and Thursdays are the dedicated time for being at the school site and PLCs are strongly encouraged when possible since they are opportunities to see collegiality in action.

Good morning Dr. Swidler, I have noticed that on the schedule I received from my CT the scheduled time for PLCs at Elliott is 1:50 PM on Tuesdays. I notice that the time listed on the MAet calendar is 2:30 PM on Tuesdays. In talking with other cohort members it seems as though they are also on early dismal schedules of 1:50 PM on Tuesdays. With the difference in time I'm wondering how this will impact the cohort's Special Education course on Tuesday afternoons. Kind regards, Heather Richeyheatherrichey@Hotmail.com

I Hear America Singing by Walt Whitman
I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear,
Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe
and strong,
The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam,
The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off
work,
The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the
deckhand singing on the steamboat deck,
The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing
as he stands,
The wood-cutter’s song, the ploughboy’s on his way in the
morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown,
The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at
work, or of the girl sewing or washing,
Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else,
The day what belongs to the day—at night the party of young
fellows, robust, friendly,
Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.
