Engaging students fully in the classroom is a task of its own. Majority of my students are prone to misbehaviors of various kinds.They have lost hope in life since they have been expelled from two or more public schools. Our charter school is their last hope and yet they are not willing to take the advantage.Your article, "The Formation of Scholars" is wonderfully researched and beneficial to struggling teachers in their classrooms with their 'at-risk' students.I agree with this article. Thanks for sharing. I am a social studies teacher at a charter school catering for “at-risk” students. Engaging students fully in the classroom is a task of its own.

It requires the openess to communicate with like minds, see self and reflect on the attributes of the self in the intellectual community of practitioners. Today I reflect on the choices of becoming scholar-practitioner as it relates to licensure or not. The ultimate questiion I proposed to self as I re-think this avenue, "Why not become licensed?" This fundamental question will determine the flexibility, path and even earnings ability of all who become licensed or not. So I reflect on my reasoning for each, with discussions from my colleagues and researching further the skill and journey of the licensed vs. non licensed professional. Networking has proven more information from those actively involved in the field as licensed professionals. Growth, I contemplate, must never be limiting.
