The master class will be divided into two or three sections depending on the number of enrolled students. The EL Fellow will spend approximately 4-6 hours per week at the teacher training institute.
I imagine there will be mixed emotions/responses to the recent chain of events... I hope that you will support me in my decision - and know that I love you.

you sound like you're going somewhere... or i don't get it... again :)
We in DC are all real proud of you.
so you're staying.. is that what it means? Btw, after yesterday I think we should start a blog called "we hate the ohio state troopers" :(
Here's to another year of vicarious adventures and a better world.
Well... the paperwork is not finalized, but the project and funding has been approved in Washington and if all goes well... I will stay to teach in the new Teachers College at the University through July 09 - at which point I plan to return to the US.
If things go as planned I should be in the US for vacation for about 5 weeks in August/September.
Your mom told me about this today...Congratulations :)
