Twins!
With a colleague from our Portsmouth NH College, we visited with one of our Faculty members that gave birth to twins this past fall. Dr. Angele Fauchier teaches behavioral science classes for Granite State College in Portsmouth and at our Rochester NH College. As Angele commented to me, being the parent of twins is her Human Development course come to life! Angele is also keeping a fantastic blog that is incredibly educational. I was thrilled to hear Angele discuss incorporating her experiences as a parent of twins into her future teaching.
Aside from marveling at what it takes to care for twins, and of couse sleep patterns, we also discussed online classes for adults, and part time classes, and being a lifelong learning college. Yet what struck me about this visit, apart from holding Angele's wonderful children, and comparing parenting stories, was the very direct connection to adult college education. Dr. Fauchier is an excellent example of what our New Hampshire State College provides: it is quite valuable to learn in small classes, with accomplished faculty teaching from experience.
I just have to say it again - twins!
