Teaching is the profession that teaches all the other professions. ~ Author Unknown

My goal is to reveal one teacher's humble journey of self-reflection, critical analysis, and endless questioning about my craft of teaching and learning alongside my middle school students.

"The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you, who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau, sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called 'truth'." ~ Dan Rather

The Fight to Save Our Schools!

The following is from two North Dakota teachers launching a nationwide campaign to save our schools. Please view the videos below and join in the fight for our schools on July 39th in Washington, DC. Let's not lose a future generation of critical, creative, and passionate thinkers!


Yesterday we released "Here's to the Students!" the second in our series of spots for the Save Our Schools March and Call To Action in DC <http://www.saveourschoolsmarch.org/>,   and it already has had 140 views: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0as745z1As


Our first one, "Here's to the Teachers!" released a week ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8zkjH8pGNk has passed the 700 mark. A nice start, but we need the spots to reach thousands. A relatively painless way for NDSG to support the gathering is by sending these links to as many connections as you can think of!


We are now working on "Here's to the Parents" and "Here's to the Schools," and WE REALLY NEED YOUR HELP! We do not have enough images of families of color --parents or grandparents engaged with kids--can be playful or serious. We are also desperate for an image where you can tell it is parents, students, and teachers together. Last but not least, we need an image that would suggest "treadmills of worksheets and standardized tests." 


If you have any photos or links to video that might fit the bill and that we would have permission to use, please send them right away to tomvalens@comcast.net


Thanks!!!
Amy
