A chronicle of moral alertness: becoming a Montessori teacher in the United States. School is culture is (mandatory) school. Moving from evangelism to sexism, isn't it heartwarming to know this 1960 book titled. When I Grow Up. Was sittin' around in an inner-city school until I smuggled it from the discard pile in May, May 2005. Just a sample of the whimsical goodness. Labels: culture and politics. Posted by directress @ 10:36 PM. Warm and fuzzy greeting cards. My reaction is just scowly and ironic.

A chronicle of moral alertness: becoming a Montessori teacher in the United States. My first album is complete. Yes, it is. My sensorial album is full of all the goodness of the stanard, fundamental exercises and some of the spice of my original exercise. Woo. And all my digital photos that are crammed into my harddrive and word files as little pictures. I am soooo excited. That's all. An important milestone in my montessori career, I'm sure. 1 down, 5 to go. Will someone please hire me? Shut Up and Teach.

Education at the Brink. News and commentary on education, politics, and the intersection of the two. Friday, November 12, 2004. A closer look at Spellings. I posted about two weeks ago. That Margaret Spellings might soon be Education Secretary and now it looks increasingly likely. So who is she. Here's an excellent article. From over three years ago in the. Article, "She prefers to operate away from the limelight. 'The stealth thing,' as she puts it.". Sandy Kress should become education secretary. T...

A chronicle of moral alertness: becoming a Montessori teacher in the United States. How singing is living. I am such a happy human being right now. I am really discovering who I am and I cannot wait to share that with children. I don't think it will be easy, but it's a good and right thing to do. I have been reading the memoirs of opera singer Renee Fleming, The Inner Voice. Posted by directress @ 6:49 PM. East Coast, U.S.A., United States. Young, American, Montessorian.

A chronicle of moral alertness: becoming a Montessori teacher in the United States. The love of my life has another love that rules her world. A love that should never be spoken. A love. . .of Diff'rent Strokes. But, OMG, this series is funny and smart in a way that almost seems impossible today. What happened to these goodhearted days? Are today's comedy writers and television producers jaded by failed attempts at change, or are they just oblivious to such possibilities? I know this post goes all over t...

A chronicle of moral alertness: becoming a Montessori teacher in the United States. Right at the beginning of my career, and I have read my share of inspirational volumes on why great teaching matters. Shall I be brave and admit that the first reform minded education writing I stumbled upon, in the beginning of high school, when I was browsing through nonfiction at the local library, was Savage Inequalities, THE Jonathan Kozol book to end all Jonathan Kozol books? Posted by directress @ 10:19 PM. When I ...

A chronicle of moral alertness: becoming a Montessori teacher in the United States. Reformatted for my enjoyment. Oh, my. Turns out road trips are not so relaxing.

Adventures of Mary Kate and Ashley. Posted by directress @ 8:54 PM. Dear Elected Official,. I watched, we. From afar, as those with bank accounts and cred...

A chronicle of moral alertness: becoming a Montessori teacher in the United States. When I was an undergraduate at the University, I spent a good amount of time pacing the serpentine shelves full of books labeled with library of congress call letters L-LD. Books about Montessori, books about community education, books about the psychology and sociology of learning. The question is, what does a life's work mean if it was only important enough for one person to ever move it from the confines of the library?

A chronicle of moral alertness: becoming a Montessori teacher in the United States. Job job job job job :). It's taken a little while for it to sink in, and classes are out for the summer, but I GOT A TEACHING JOB. AT A MONTESSORI SCHOOL. WOOOOO! Anticipation and anxiety storm away. I know I can do it, but it is so much. First years are always hard, as are new jobs. Hopefully, this blog will be a great release from the pressures and worries and give me clarity about my development. Shut Up and Teach.

A chronicle of moral alertness: becoming a Montessori teacher in the United States. Maestra on the move. I will be on a bit of a road trip for this month, visiting some relatives and friends in the mid-westerly parts of the nation. Travelling will bring us down south, as well, for some much needed relaxation and exposure to green and natural things. I'm on a farm for the first time ever today, so I'll have lots of cow and corn photos to use in the classroom some day. Posted by directress @ 6:41 PM. Phila...
