Hi friends -
I am trying to find some good stuff on introverted teachers for my inquiry paper, and it's not as easy as I'd hoped, but I'm still getting started. I did a google scholar search with the simple keywords "introverted" and "teacher" and up popped a paper that nails this topic like nothing I've found yet. That's good news just on its own, but here's the coincidence:The author of this paper is an alum of my teeny tiny graduate school in Vermont, and this was her final research project - for SIT (School for International Training) - her advisor was one of my professors and the director of the teacher training program. As soon as I saw the title of the paper, I thought, "Huh, this is so perfect it's freaking me out," then I doubly freaked out when I saw where it was from: my alma mater. Seriously, this place is really small - it specializes in just a handful of programs like ESL teaching and International Development, so the chances of landing on something from there had to have been pretty slim. Thought I'd share since this is our day of coincidences!
Good luck with your topic. Sounds like it was meant to be. Was she an introvert or might she have had you in mind?
ReplyDeleteDidn't know her at all! I was there in the early 90s and this article is from 2008, so it's pretty random and our paths were years apart. Now I worry that my paper is already out there - has already been done! I've done a lot of pondering this evening...hopefully am a little closer to clarity. We'll see!
