Take a few steps back
Today was another one of those days where I realized that what we were doing in class was far too much for my students. I am very glad that I decided to push them today and make sure that they were keeping pace, but I also could not see evidence of them processing the information… Continue reading

Indescribable
All was well today. Then I hopped on Facebook quick to mess around before getting back to work. I was in the middle of writing my normal class notes blog post when I noticed a posting from a friend. The name wasn’t in the message. That made it all the worse. It’s hard to describe… Continue reading

Trump’s "Spiritual" advisor.
Today was supposed to be a fun and relaxing day to not talk about serious issues. I was going to attempt to write a short story just to get my mind loosened and ready for homework.

I started today thinking a lot about how teachers are expecting students to be able to participate, without modifying the way they teach. I see a lot of teachers who are modifying and adapting the assessments, but I am wondering what they are modifying for materials and teaching methods. How are they assuring that those… Continue reading

Apparently, my school district is blocking blogger now. I shouldn’t say it’s my school district. It’s the automated software that is blocking it. Oh well, I’ll just take my blogs down as a note in Keep and transfer it when I get home. It’s kind of ironic that this post is labeled 101. 101 being… Continue reading

100th Blog
It’s funny. You never truly realize how hard it is to be objective until you are grading papers and tests. I started to pay attention to my own thoughts and feelings as I was grading a quiz today. Not only is it surprising, it’s a bit demoralizing. Just for background information, it’s a multiple page… Continue reading

Modeling, modeling, modeling. I know. I am getting repetitive. But I don’t care. One thing that I see as being most helpful in almost any situation is modeling. Think about it. If you want to fix your car but don’t know what to do, you go to YouTube. You may even find yourself watching several… Continue reading
