Testing in Montessori Schools?

In my last post I began a discussion about a possible EdD in Montessori education at the high school level. Since then, I’ve done more research on the topic. I found an extensive, thirty-six page evaluation by The Riley Institute at Furman University on Montessori schools in North Carolina. Take a look at the number […]

Montessori Methodologies in High School?

Well, 2020 has been an interesting year so far, hasn’t it? I’ve seen memes galore. Some of my favorites: And then, there were more after the first presidential debate: I finished off the 2019/20 school year remotely, not being able to hug my students goodbye. They knew I wouldn’t be back next school year because […]

Social History Interview Project

One of the best things about being a teacher is that I can always change things up for the betterment of my students! As such, I came up with a new summative assessment this semester: a social history interview project. Years ago, during my student teaching phase in Korea, my mentor teacher asked her world […]

Quarantined Classes

The YouTube channel I created with my colleague, Meg Chandler, i.spiration e.ducation, is on it’s 30th episode! This episode highlights the new era of online learning for teachers, given COVID-19. I hope you find this, and future posts, helpful as we all continue to educate in a world of social distancing.

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 […]

It’s official!!! ❤️❤️❤️

To all my fellow civics/government teachers out there, this is a primary source you simply must introduce to your students. Marx and Engels wrote this guide, or manifesto, with “gasp” good intentions. My mind is racing and my face is beaming from ear to ear thinking about the conversations/debates that can stem from their work. Take #2 or #5, for example. Should there be a progressive income tax? What do you think of the current American banking system?

Another fantastic book by Hurston. I really love her style of writing: full of imagery, yet simple and easy to understand. This treasure was on my “to read” list in preparation for this year’s world history class. I highly recommend listening to the audio book rather than reading the paper version because the narrator uses the African dialect beautifully. For me, that was a big part of the experience in understanding Kossula’s story. A big takeaway that surprised Hurston after her interviews with Kossula was the method by which people of Africa were enslaved. The horrors tribes inflicted on each other, recounted in this book, are absolutely terrifying! #slavetrade #zoranealehurston #readmorebooks #teachersofinstagram #educateyourself

Just finished this audiobook. Was a struggle at first - the assistance of a good mentor when tackling great books like these is always a good idea - but finally caught on and was hooked. It sheds light on the French Revolution, a horribly scary and bloody time that I cannot say I agree with, but I can see why the French working and poor people went mad. Madame la Guillotine, as the French people called it, be headed so many people that the streets were absolutely filthy. It’s another lesson about the innate nature of humankind and what we are all capable of. #readmorebooks #frenchrevolution #ataleoftwocities #teachersofinstagram

Memorial Day. A day set aside since the American Civil War to remember those who never came home. I took these words and photos from a FB post I saw this morning. The visuals helps us to better grasp what happened on D-Day. Sadly, a large percentage of our country doesn't know about Normandy.

So there we were, eating cheesecake at the Cheesecake Factory, when in walks this beauty, @alexagarciatucson . Happy graduation day! I am so proud of you! Was your teacher, now you’ve moved on to bigger and better things! Can’t wait to see what the future holds for you! ❤️❤️🎓

My son graduated from high school last night! I’m so proud of the person he has become! Kind, thoughtful, driven, funny.... Can’t wait to see where life takes you! Also, so glad I don’t have to force you to do your school work anymore. 🤣 I am also grateful to have been able to share the day with @ikesterr03. It’s been a pleasure being your teacher over these years! Keep working that portfolio! 📷

I love audiobooks from the library (via the app)! This way I can keep reading while walking the dogs, doing the dishes, or driving. Just finished this gem. Learned about one of the most spectacular horses of all time, the plight of jockeys, the 1930ies, and about horse racing in general. Another must read! #seabiscut #horseracing #bookworm #read #americanhistory

Squeeeee! A book sale, and for charity no less! I found some serious gems that would have otherwise been shredded! Makes me shudder to think of it! The third and fourth pics are from a book that gives insight into President Lincoln’s private and public life via letters! #mykryptonite #bookworm #teachersofinstagram #teacherlife #read
