This is the home page for Dr. Carter's English 417/517 class, Fall 2009.. From here you can download your syllabi and assignments, email your class or professor, and link to helpful sites for interning or teaching in English. As Parker Palmer rather lyrically says in The Courage to Teach,

Mentors and apprentices are partners in an ancient human dance, and one of teaching’s great rewards is the daily chance it gives us to get back on the dance floor. It is the dance of the spiraling generations, in which the old empower the young with their experience and the young empower the old with new life, reweaving the fabric of the human community as they touch and turn” (25).

Come on in and dance.
