The 8th grade students created maps for imaginary towns. Later, they wrote out directions in French from one place to another using their own maps. Then, as a class, we circled around, reading each set of directions, trying to find our way!
After 13 years of teaching public school, I have decided to take this year off from a single 'teaching position' and, instead, volunteer/teach/coach in a variety of settings to deepen my understanding of what education can look like and immerse myself in different learning settings and teaching methods. Join me on my journey as I shift my thinking about education...because I feel I have been 'overlooking' what education could be for many years!
