Use Your Outside Voice: Wearing my hope and struggle on my sleeve
http://useyouroutsidevoice.blogspot.com/2015/08/wearing-my-hope-and-struggle-on-my.html
Saturday, August 15, 2015. Wearing my hope and struggle on my sleeve. I've had a tattoo for over ten years now. It's on my lower back and hidden from sight. I had no intention of ever getting a tattoo that was regularly visible to the world. But as the years have gone on, I have entertained the thought of getting another, more visible tattoo. Something small, dainty, and literary. Something to show the world that I am a reader and a teacher. For a while I considered getting the line:. In a grad school cl...

Thinking about learning and teaching: Open enrollment and the urban college
http://mrskervina.blogspot.com/2015/02/open-enrollment-and-urban-college.html
Thinking about learning and teaching. I'm an educator and a life-long learner. My blog will be a place to reflect on my practice and the larger issues of U.S. education. However, it will be a place where I try new things, too. Monday, February 23, 2015. Open enrollment and the urban college. Last week's reading for my graduate class was a selection from James Traub's 1994 book City on a Hill: Testing the American Dream at City College. Do we have the societal commitment to do that? No We dont. And we...

Use Your Outside Voice: Owning Up -- #semicolonEDU
http://useyouroutsidevoice.blogspot.com/2015/07/owning-up-semicolonedu.html
Sunday, July 19, 2015. Owning Up - #semicolonEDU. On the surface you appear to see moments of contentment. For the past ten days my husband and I have been away on vacation in beautiful Costa Rica. We had many adventures like zip lining and repelling down waterfalls, but we also took time to relax by the pool, in hot springs, or in the hammock on our hotel room balcony. The day before we left for our trip I had a panic attack. And a few days before that I had one, too. And a few weeks before that. As I s...

Use Your Outside Voice: May 2015
http://useyouroutsidevoice.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 30, 2015. Graduations = Celebration and Reflection. This week we celebrated 8th grade graduation. So naturally this is a good time to reflect on what a wonderful school year it has been. It's hard to believe it's been almost a year since I announced I would be returning to the classroom. Since this was my first 8th grade graduation as a teacher at the school I attended, naturally, it would stand to reason that I would start to think back to my own 8th grade graduation 21 years ago.

My daughter and I share ear buds,. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night. Salted gusts, cool, beg us to burrow into the sunned sand. Coppertone-perfumed blankets,warm,keep us safe. Without warning or hesitation, she joins her brother for some soft serve. I stay behind, narrative paused, guarding the evaporating moment.

Making time to read and write…. Newer posts →. Slice of Life 1. March 1, 2015. Walking into someone’s home for the first time, I don’t notice the usual eye catchers: the dreamy paintings, feathered sofas, infinite flat screens. My gaze darts to the obscure. Today, I see a dusted snow globe sitting behind a framed family photo, an orphaned Lego winking behind a curtain, piled newspapers waiting to be read. I think. And I want their stories.

Encouraging Thoughts on Teaching: Choosing Tech Tools
http://optimisticeducator.blogspot.com/2011/03/choosing-tech-tools.html
Encouraging Thoughts on Teaching. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. Thanks to EdCampOmaha (see previous post), I am new to twitter. It is an incredible resource for professional learning, and I cannot believe how many new tools I have already discovered through talented teachers' tweets. As I spend time thinking of ways to use these tools in my own classroom I want to work efficiently, focusing on what will most impact student learning. Shared within the school, we learn even more if we skype. Considering outcome...
