Big Boy #4014

This weekend Union Pacific’s Big Boy No. 4014 visited my town, Tucson, AZ. Taken from the Union Pacific webpage, No. 4014 began operation on December 1941. The locomotive was retired in December 1961, having traveled 1,031,205 miles in its 20 years in service. In 2013, No. 4014 began its multi-year restoration process. It returned to […]

New YouTube Channel!

A colleague and I are SUPER EXCITED to announce our very first vlog, i.nspiration e.ducation. The link to our first post is below in which we take you on a journey with nine high school students and one very large waterfall! We also discuss the rationale behind i.nspiration e.ducation. Our goal is to publish one […]

High School Field Trip to the Pima County Adult Detention Complex

This year I started teaching government to our seniors at Desert Christian High School. I thought, “What better way for my students to understand civic duty, the roles and responsibilities of our local police, and the repercussions for not obeying the law than to take them to our local jail?” With that question in mind, […]

A Semester-Long Project by “DJ Justin”

This year I decided to try something new (no shock there) with my US History students. As I have done in the past, I wanted to create a semester-long project with multiple check points – in “teacher speak” we call these formative assessments – rather than a standard, summative assessment. What I changed was the […]

Kitt Peak National Observatory

This weekend the kids and I visited Kitt Peak National Observatory (NOAO), located at the top of route 386 on the Tohono O’odham Nation, 56 miles outside of Tucson, AZ. Kitt Peak is home to one of the largest arrays of radio and optical telescopes in the world. I signed us up for the three […]

Episode 15 of i.nspiration e.ducation! (link in bio) Inspirational teachers should consider the depth at which their students can demonstrate their learned knowledge. The depth of their understanding can vary from a basic understanding, e.g., memorize vocabulary words, to the highest depths, such as the critique of academic sources or the connection of thematic patterns. At these high levels, students are using what they have learned in alternative academic and real-world contexts. Although many variations on how to display (through a graphic organizer) and articulate the levels of depth of knowledge exist, most provide a delineation of four (recall, skills and concepts, strategic thinking, and extended thinking). #teachersofinstagram #teacherlife #teachersofinstagram #educators #studentcenteredlearning #highschoolstudents #highschoolreacher #depthofknowledge

Mock Trial pre season tournament is complete! #proudcoach #mocktrial #teachersofinstagram #teacherlife #teachersofinstagram #educators #studentcenteredlearning #highschoolstudents #highschoolteacher

The first farmer's market (led by the middle school students) was a HIT!!! There were so many people I couldn't believe my eyes. In minutes most of the goodies were gone! Students were raising money to support the annual vet fees of our farm. WAT TO GO! #wearedcs #teachersofinstagram @desertchristianschools #farmersmarket #middleschool #enterpreneurship

Ice cream or mashed potatoes? Our art teacher @alysonvanvactor showed her students how to make fake food that won't melt under hot camera lighting! Way cool! #teachersofinstagram #wearedcs

Last week's outing with my photo class! ♡ #teachersofinstagram #teacherlife

i.nspiration e.ducation episode #14 is up! (link in bio) This episode of i.e. challenges our education colleagues to make their lesson plans memorable. In this case, our students are learning by wrestling! Our Bible teacher, Pastor Kyle, put his students in the shoes of Jacob (from the Bible) so that they could better understand what it was like for Jacob to wrestle with God all through the night. This specific lesson has been taught at our school for at least 15 years, and we guarantee every student who has ever attended remembers this lesson vividly!

The best part about being a teacher @desertchristianschools is loving the kids like your own. ♡♡♡♡ #wearedcs #teachersofinstagram

They called each other the night before. ;)

Super great day today! Took my mock trial teams to the @pima_county courthouse to watch the morning calendar and a criminal case, get a behind the scenes tour and Q&A with Judge Bryson and Judge Griffin, and practice our own trial in an actual courtroom. I am so grateful to the kind folks at the #azsuperiorcourt #mocktrial #teachersofinstagram #teacherlife #teachersofinstagram #educators
