English teacher Elizabeth Fogle, a 2007 graduate of Ohio Northern University, will present on Friday, November 16 at the annual convention for the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) in New York City, which is slated Nov. 15-18.Discussing the need for collegiate clubs focused on preservice teachers, her presentation highlights the need for peer-to-peer communication at the college level to aid in the development of prospective teachers.
She founded the Secondary Education Society along with four fellow students while at Ohio Northern University. One, a teacher in Maryland, and the other three, still students at ONU, will also take part in the presentation.
"We wanted a way for current students at the university to stay in touch with alumni," she said. "Since I work at a charter school, it gives me an opportunity to share my experiences with those who are still waiting to get into the classroom."
The society meets on campus but also has an online forum for alumni to respond to student questions.
Fogle has been with Life Skills Center of Dayton for four months and is a University of Dayton graduate student. She graduated from Benjamin Logan High School in 2004 and currently lives in Riverside, Ohio.
