Thanks Vanessa

Thank you Vanessa for you presentation and for sharing with us this morning. Your articles on Welcoming and Your beliefs about teaching and learning came through your own experiences as a student and a teacher. Both contributed to the success in your classroom practices.

I found the journal exercise very interesting. I could relate so much to Shanon's comments to her student. For me talking to the empty chair is exactly the problem-- the students who "disappear"-- the ones who we don't reach and wish that we could have. I wrote about one such young man-- and there is real regret and a haunting sense of what might have been.
