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 […]

Just finished Pilgrim’s Progress! Ok, so definitely not an easy read- Neil Postman would explain to us why- but WELL WORTH the effort. The first part was written in 1678, and the second in 1684. It’s a religious allegory by John Bunyan who, through the use of characters with names such as Mercy, Christiana, and Mrs. Knownothing, symbolically represent the pilgrimage we all are currently walking, with our ultimate destination being eternal life, either in Heaven or in Hell. Throughout the book one can relate to multiple characters and to multiple situations that they encounter during their travels. This book was, at one time, second only to the Bible in popularity. It is the most famous Christian allegory still in print. It was first published in the reign of Charles II, and was mostly written while Bunyan was imprisoned for religious offenses against the Church of England! #pilgrimsprogress #bookreview #christianity #bookworm

And that’s a wrap! Seniors won Spirit Week! Love these students SO MUCH. They make my job the best in the world! #spiritweek @desertchristianschools #teachersofinstagram

Leave it to the women to dress the men for spirit week. 🤪🤣

Oh my gosh! This 2,400 year old Chinese text is fascinating! I’ve always wanted to read it because it has been referenced by just about every great military leader since it was written. The text details how to win a battle in every situation, how to interpret the movements of your enemy, and how to read the behavior of generals. One can even apply the knowledge learned on the battlefield by Sun Tzu to the classroom! In the chapter, The Army On The March, points 42 and 43 discuss how soldiers will react to discipline, depending on whether they have grown attached to the general or not. These words of advice can even apply to teachers! Those who have established trust will garner more willingness from their students and have better classroom management. Those that do not will see that asking students to work hard, or employing classroom discipline, will be useless. #theartofwar

Episode 50 is coming! We’ve been working hard collecting data from our students for this episode. Of the 74 students we interviewed, 1/2 said that the one thing they’d change about education is to make it more engaging. So, we’ve spent some time addressing this issue and even giving specific ideas on how to do this in YOUR classroom! #engagingcontent #engagingclassroomactivities #lifelonglearning #teachersofinstagram

My home room, the Minutemen! We have worked so hard to win the coveted retreat games trophy. The thing is, winning this trophy isn’t just about speed or numbers. The majority of the points are awarded based on how well the team works together and if they are kind and listen to each other. This is not an easy thing to do when faced with group challenges that test your patience and humility! What an honor to be a part of their joy! #joinordie #takingwhatsours #retreat2021 #minutemen #lovemyjob #teacherlife #teachersofinstagram @desertchristianschools

I love my job and my school SO MUCH! Just wrapped up another school wide retreat! We played hard, we laughed hard, we learned more about each other, and we loved well. This is what community looks like. #retreat2021 #teachersofinstagram #lovemyjob #teacherlife #seniors2022

Love my home room and our new flag! @desertchristianschools #2021retreat here we come!

When you figure out that one of your students would rather rap a summary of their learning than write a short paragraph! #teachersofinstagram
