Hello,
SDCTE Members. It is an honor to be your new president. I approach
my job with humility, given the outstanding service of my predecessor, Karen
Harrington.
For
the past seven years I have been teaching English at Black Hills State
University. My responsibilities have been divided between writing--including
technical writing on the Internet--and literature, especially Shakespeare.
My
vision of SDCTE is to enlarge our services to members, to building on our
established base, and to expand our membership. We are a diverse group and
united we stand stronger.
In
March 2000 we will hold a joint convention in Spearfish with the South Dakota
Reading Council. Over 40 sessions and workshops conducted by teachers and
authors will draw over 800 participants from across South Dakota and our region.
I encourage you to attend and to invite your colleagues to join SDCTE.
My
best,
Roger Ochse, Your new President of SDCTE J
