In starting this Partners In Learning blog, our goal is to provide an Internet forum for your comments on things happening "in the now" in relation to education. Sometimes when attending classes, going to workshops, visiting websites, or studying textbooks, the information seems dated with your current experiences. Anyone accessing the Partners In Learning blog can comment on any aspect of professional education. For example, a student teacher in the field may have an interesting lesson plan they have developed for their class they are involved with, and would like to share it with the teaching community on a massive scale. The student teacher can come to this blog, click on comment, and add a description of the lesson plan he or she developed. The possiblities are not just limited to lesson plans. A teacher may be influenced by a particular incident in their school and would like other people to know about the joys and challenges of classroom teaching. This Partners In Learning blog is a great place for case studies, interesting teaching anecdotes, or just posing questions to the teaching community.

This Partners In Learning blog is seperated into several different areas to allow for fast and easy location and posting of comments. Find the section where you want to comment under, and simply click 'COMMENTS'. Feel free to write about anything in that subject area, as long as it pertains to education and can be used to help other people continuously improve as professional educators.
