In keeping with bell hooks and Noam Chomsky, I consider myself a public and dissident intellectual. Part of my work is to move beyond (transcend) dogmas. No DM

In the
#busyness
of a
#school
day, it is important to remember this as we reach out to one another. It is the counter weight to
#Neoliberalism
and its agenda. It is the model we use to demonstrate to
#students
#compassion
,
#empathy
, and
#caring
.

I had an opportunity to hear Alfie Kohn present a number of years ago. We need to help
#students
form intrinsic
#motivation
and engage in their
#learning
in ways that
#reflect
this.
#standardized
#curriculum
and
#tests
do not accomplish this.

I never go wrong starting the day with
#maryoliverpoetry
. She had a
#mystical
quality to each
#poem
leaving me with
#questions
and
#gratitude
. After all, who does not want to have their head in the clouds? What can that mean to each of us?

#education
We talk a good story about
#differentation
and put 30+
#Students
in classrooms. We need
#leadership
that can
#envision
ways of
#teaching
and
#learning
that take us beyond the current
#bureaucratic

This is one of those ideas that needs to be expanded upon in
#teaching
. Some
#students
need more than 1-2 chances. It
#reflects
#caring
and
#compassion
on the part of
#educators
. Be a
#teacher
who
#cares
to take time to make a
#difference
.

In our
#bookstudy
, we read about
#integrity
and
#Identity
of each
#teacher
. When we live and
#teach
an undivided life, we move between the inner self and the outer self fluidly without noticing.

We do not stop and realize the harm
#Neoliberalism
wreaks on the lives and future of our children. We do need to prepare them for the future. They learn to
#cooperate

I find that people who deliver and plan
#professionaldevelopment
have not been in
#classrooms
for years or are not even
#teachers
.
We need to encourage teacher-to-teacher dialogue and a sense of
#community
in our
#schools
where we draw on each other.
