Bob Sefcheck Still Teaching

This past February Bob Sefcheck informed me that he would not be attending our class reunion in October because he expected his work schedule to be quite busy.  So, I emailed back to him to ask him what he was still doing.  "Are you not retired," I was asking him.  He responded with the following:

"I supervise student teachers for California University of Pennsylvania, the university from which I eventually graduated. I teach their practicum class for five hours every other Friday. The rest of the semester I drive all over Southwestern Pa observing and evaluating them so they can become certified. After spending thirty-seven years teaching fifth graders, I am now completing my ninth year at the university teaching seniors and grad students. Currently I am working with thirty-two students. With the bad winter we have had in my area this has been a very difficult semester. The associate dean/director of Student teaching has told me to expect a large number in the fall, so I am loathe to make plans for leaving the area during that time. I would really like to see the guys again."

I am impressed with Bob's continuing commitment to the field of Education!
