Randomly, I happened to see a link come in through my WordPress admin panel, and I followed a short trail to find out that I got some recognition for my blogging from Scholastic Instructor. Docere Est Discere was apparently selected as the “Best Student Teacher Blog” for the September issue. I am absolutely thrilled to get that kind of recognition, especially in words like this:
Why We Love It: From tips for up-and-coming student teachers to his own reflections on his process, Mr. B. reminds us how far we have come. Perfect for those days when we’re feeling just a bit jaded.
How could I not be motivated to write about my teaching experiences with that kind of praise?
Thanks, Scholastic!

To add to your praise, I am currently a preservice teacher enrolled in a Curriculum and Instruction summer course at Illinois State University and an assignment given was to research different teacher blogs. One of the links provided by my professor was the Scholastic Instructor blog, where I happened to click the Docere Est Discere link first. After reading through the other blogs, I found myself wanting to continually read your post and revisit your site. Thanks for your insight and work! I plan on staying connected to the blog as I make my way through to the teaching profession!
