| Friday, February 8, 2008. It’s a
typical, cold winter morning in Nebraska as I, Jana Maresh, ATP Program
Specialist, make my way to Omaha South High School. Buses line the
street to the east, and students with band instruments in hand make
their way off the buses and into the halls. Taking the west entrance, I find my way to the main office, sign in |
and wait to meet Christine Heine, math teacher and Assistive
Technology Partnership (ATP) consumer. A student waits for her arrival
as well. When Christine enters, she is poised and attentive. She addresses the student first, and within minutes she leads me to her classroom and instructs me to take a seat in the back of the room. Seventh hour, she said, will be starting soon. |
From last minute homework to lecture she faces
many small obstacles to keep students focused, and she doesn’t
miss a beat. It seems she has met her calling, but it didn’t
come overnight or without effort. See Christine, page 2. |
