Reflections on Teaching: November 2005
http://reflectivepedagogy.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
This blog started as my graduate thesis. After taking some time away I am coming back to it now, recording my praxis and reflecting. Sunday, November 20, 2005. Not Hiding my Political Agenda. In preparing to teach my own class for the first time next semester and attempting to truly engage in praxis (practice informed by theory, and theory informed by practice) I am really looking at my choices and attempting to define or uncover bias and politicals. That is the goal. Rhizome: One day I would like to hav...

Reflections on Teaching: The Hot Seat
http://reflectivepedagogy.blogspot.com/2007/03/hot-seat.html
This blog started as my graduate thesis. After taking some time away I am coming back to it now, recording my praxis and reflecting. Thursday, March 08, 2007. A few weeks ago I had a classroom observation done on me. It was not like a pop quiz or anything like that. I even picked the date that I would have my evaluation. After the observation my students took an anonymous survey and today I got the results of both the observation and the survey. But when I read the breakdown of those numbers at times the...

Reflections on Teaching: getting started (Again) for the second time
http://reflectivepedagogy.blogspot.com/2007/08/getting-started-again-for-second-time.html
This blog started as my graduate thesis. After taking some time away I am coming back to it now, recording my praxis and reflecting. Monday, August 06, 2007. Getting started (Again) for the second time. I cannot believe I let and entire semester go by without reflecting on anything I had done all semester. Along with blogging again about all this I have made a number of changes that I think are pedagogically informed, yet I am still worried about them. 2 "They seem to be missing so many skills". Thanks f...

Roadside Thoughts of an Art Teacher in Iowa. Tuesday, July 30, 2013. We are currently on our way home on I-90 with 700 miles to go on it. We stayed last night in Buffalo, Wyoming with the Bighorn Mountains in the distance. Antelope are on the nearby hills basking in the morning sun. We got going early this morning because we know we will lose an hour somewhere today. Links to this post. Friday, July 26, 2013. Links to this post. Thursday, July 25, 2013. Links to this post.

Roadside Park: January 2011
http://roadsidepark.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Roadside Thoughts of an Art Teacher in Iowa. Thursday, January 27, 2011. They are so quiet. Our back yard goes back quite a ways until the tree line which separates us from our neighbors. It has been a private space for the 25 years I have lived here. Then suddenly in a matter of two winters the deer have silently eaten the bottom two yards of the evergreens and there are my neighbors! I am thinking of planting some fast growing plant but Frank has not given me the ok yet. What about bamboo? Frank and I ...

Reflections on Teaching: March 2007
http://reflectivepedagogy.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
This blog started as my graduate thesis. After taking some time away I am coming back to it now, recording my praxis and reflecting. Friday, March 16, 2007. I stumbled upon this on a website but now cannot find it again. While i try to stick to actual experiences teaching on this blog I could not help but address this statement in relation to what I have been working on. In our gen ed goals when it came to critical thinking a definition was given that was "logical" or some might say "common sense" Either...
