I shouldn't be upset.

But after a few years in the classroom, Redish was meeting with one of his mentors, a famous physicist named Lewis Elton who had begun doing research on education. “He asked me, ‘How’s your teaching?’” Redish told him it was going well, but that he...

I NEED TO STOP.

I’m stuck in a decision. I feel like something is holding me back so I can stay around, yet something is telling me to just go for it, experience something new (once again).

Opting out of Grading →
world-shaker: As an educator who abolished grading in 2004 and initiated a Grading Moratorium, I have an acute understanding for how grading sabotages learning. Because of this, I have drafted this letter for my daughter’s future teachers. Dear teacher,  Kayley loves to learn and is very excited to start school this year.   Because the case against grades has a wealth of anecdotal evidence...

If this was around 5 years ago when I applying to college, I’d probably be down for this free ride.

yensquared: ROOTS & RESISTANCE Babae Expo Reportback- Saturday, January 21, 2012!!!!!! In the summer of 2011, six women took a journey back to their motherland the Philippines. There, they learned about the conditions that everyday Pinay women typically face, and why so many Pinays are forced to… This sounds really dope.
