TEACH AND REFLECT

This wiki is designed to document my growth as a teacher educator. Despite my best intentions in educating future teachers, I am still a learner. And as such, my teaching is constantly evolving—I know some things that work in challenging students’ ideas about teaching, their ideas about society, about learning—but I don’t want that to become my doctrine. I want to continue to learn from students, from my colleagues, from working in the community. The process of documenting my teaching has been particularly helpful in that I am able to articulate some of what I have learned, and how I am still learning how to teach teachers. I've included several categories that I do my best to keep updated.

Journalistic: While it seems there is never enough time, I do my best to journal each week about my teaching--at least to note a few of my struggles and accomplishments.

Who Says?: I have so many books with post-it notes and writing. I've been attempting to keep some of the words others have so well written that have challenged or affirmed my teaching ideas.

The Works: This is a collection of artifacts from the Excellence in Teaching Award I received in May 2009.

By all Accounts: My vita, while it often seems like ordinary details, does represent numerous experiences and a record of my work towards becoming a teacher educator.
