Musings of a second-year teacher.
This is more of a reminder to myself to come back and elaborate later. I went to hear Jonathon Kozol speak tonight at the Kimball, as a requirement for Educ 310. He was an amazing speaker and I want to share what he said with my own commentary, but not tonight. So, I'll update soon on his lecture!

Musings of a second-year teacher.
I have completed my first year as a Kindergarten teacher and I am now making my way through year two! This blog was originally started to fufill a requirement for a technology class, but I've somehow managed to maintain it by adding a new entry every six months or so. On my to-do list of things (now that I'm slowly getting things under control as I wrap up my first year of teaching)is to update this blog more frequently. I value this form of communication because of the anonymity it provides, which allows me to speak freely about circumstances within my classroom. It also serves as a way to seek advice from others.

Sheryl, I had the good fortune to read parts of Kozol's Savage Inequalities 15 years ago when I was in college. The lessons of his book have stayed with me through all these years and challenged me. They have kept me from blaiming the victims for not pulling themselves out of poverty and underachievement. I hope his lecture serves you as well. I commend you for attending it.
