A Conversation about ECCTYC

At the start of the 2005-2006 academic year, Modesto Junior College hired many new faculty members to join their already flourishing Literature and Language Arts Division. In addition to presenting at the conference, five new faculty hires, as well as one of the members of the hiring committee, ventured to the ECCTYC conference in Long Beach California. This blog is a creation of the conversations that ensued following the presentation and attendance of that conference.

Introduction Draft

Hi folks...

Here's one of my drafts for the introduction...I have several. I'll keep posting them here as I complete them. Take a look and we'll talk on Friday.

After a rigorous application process and interviewing schedule, Modesto Junior College hired several new faculty members to their Literature and Language Division in the Fall of 2005. While we shared a few characteristics, our unique personalities, preparation, teaching methods, education, and experiences provided for a well-rounded hire. Serendipity, it’s been said, is the best summation of the hiring process, and while we claim no expertise or profound knowledge in this arena, we hope our experiences throughout this process will provide some sense of control for those who are still struggling for a position.

PS- Did I say that I'd draft the conclusion, too?
