Where are the Unicorns?
I was recently asked to do an assignment for a graduate program I'm attending, where I was to describe my teaching philosophy and then provide evidence through academic journals, texts, etc. I added the usual Freire, Baldwin, Apple, and then added some Delpit and Hammond, but as I was doing my research, I became struck … Continue reading Where are the Unicorns?
Reflecting on the last 18 months as a Teacher
How has the last 18 months changed you as an educator? Have your priorities shifted? Do you have a new focus or north star? I was asked this at a professional development at the beginning of the school year and I've been writing this reflection ever since then. 18 months ago, in March of 2020, … Continue reading Reflecting on the last 18 months as a Teacher

T-Minus Day 1
Today officially marks my eighth day in Boston. This post is not so much of introspective deep contemplation but rather just rambling and a collection of thoughts. I don't know why but I feel it's appropriate in some form to express some thoughts as I actually begin classes and even begin going to my school … Continue reading T-Minus Day 1
