Teaching, over the long haul

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

         

I posted on my first job review as a college algebra teacher, which was that math journaling works. I’ll have to post this so that I can also post it on LinkedIn and I really wish I could send a copy of it to the veteran teacher who back in 2001 told me that I was under no circumstances to try math journaling or any of the other nonsense that teachers colleges are teaching these days as she put it. Turns out at least by 2010 in a different state, that math journaling really helped my students tremendously. …
I should be writing it up as a post for LinkedIn…

But this reminds me that when I did see the Freedom writers it gave me a boost in terms of knowing that outside the box teaching methodologies were acceptable in some places, I think it…

Just Because …

Filosofa's Word

A couple of days ago, my friend Herb sent me several YouTube videos … one Stephen Colbert, one by Seth Meyers, and one by Trevor Noah.  All three were good, addressed the very unfunny topics of the day in a humorous manner, but I think I liked Trevor Noah’s the best.  So, since I decided you guys need a bit of fun in your lives, I’m sharing it … just because!

“I am NOT my breasts”: A Jamaican woman’s breast cancer journey

Petchary's Blog

My dear friend Petre Williams Raynor has been cancer-free for a year now, and she looks really great, with her usual warm smile. It was a pleasure to meet up with her recently; it meant a lot to me personally, and I thought I would share something of our rather long conversation here.

Note the upper case “NOT.” This is a defiant declaration – firm, yet positive. Why this title, I asked her? She explained that making a decision on the kind of treatment that you will have is neither simple nor easy. What is most important, however, is to just make the best decision for your…

Só faz o bem, quem dele se alimenta

Pensamentos.me/VEM comigo!

Do que vale adquirir muitas habilidades, se a maior de todas elas não for praticada? Fazer o bem, é antes de qualquer coisa, voltar- se para dentro de si mesmo, e ser capaz de expandir uma energia serena, latente, grandiosa. Diz-se que aquele que faz o bem é uma pessoa que tem qualidades genuínas e alma generosa. Nem todos conseguem, porque fazer o bem não é talento, é uma habilidade voltada só caráter.

Um ser humano bom é uma pessoa que tem atitudes éticas, que tem compaixão, empatia e a natureza voltada a fazer o bem. Pessoas boas, são seres humanos que assumem a condição de ser humilde. Veja, não falo de uma bondade que é transformada em caridade. Não é fazer algo por alguém e transformar isso num grande evento. A bonde que me refiro neste caso, ela reside puramente no ato de se importar, de ter consciência para…

” E o olhar estaria ansioso esperando

E a cabeça ao sabor da mágoa balançando

E o coração fugindo e o coração voltando

E os minutos passando e os minutos passando…”
