May 25th-May 31st

Your readings for this week are:

1.) Willingness to be Disturbed
2.) Learning in the Shadow of Race and Class

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Memorial Day weekend and that the end-of-the-year whirlwind has left you intact.

What do you make of the readings this week? What's resounding with you? Are you willing to be disturbed? Other noticings?

Happy Mother's Day!

Hello everyone,

Hope your weekend was splendid and not too windy.

It is my pleasure at this juncture to direct your attention toward the Week 5 pieces. They are:

1). Giving It a Second Thought: Making Culturally Engaged Teaching Culturally Engaging,
2). A Focus on Inquiry, and
3). Exploring Inquiry as a Teaching Stance in the Writing Workshop.

While we have two seemingly separate areas to discuss within these three pieces, I think it's still important to leave this open to incorporate any thoughts that arise. So, what do you think? What do you notice? What ideas intrigue you or give you pause? Are there any specific lines--"golden lines"--that linger as you wash dishes or wait for sleep to come? Share them with us. Perhaps we can eat away at this stuff by nibbling together, whether it be inquiry, culturally engaged teaching or both.
