An online record of my experiences in Project Promise 16, a transitional program for professionals who wish to become teachers.
Early this morning, Stephen and Carolyn went over to the Student Center to get some breakfast goodies and coffee. I mentioned that I would love something like that, but lamented that I did not have any money.
Upon return, Carolyn brought me a Latte! It tasted wonderful.
The generosity of the members of our cohort never ceases to surprise me.

I am Paul Burkhard, a guy that is in his first year of teaching at the age of 41.
I have wanted to be a teacher since I was in high school, but got waylaid in life. At the age of 39, I decided that I really needed to do what I was made to do, teach.
I joined Project Promise, a mid-career transitional licensure program offered through Colorado State University. After 10 months of hard work, long hours and no pay, I was hired to be the Technology Instructor at Highland High School in Ault, Colorado.
I teach a total of six classes, four sections of "Technology I," which is mostly AutoCAD, and then two sections of "Graphic Arts and Web Design," which is an overview of the Macromedia Suite, including Fireworks, Dreamweaver and Flash.
This blog is the story of my adventures there.
