Jesus said, "Look at the birds." Not enough of you sinners are out there birding and it shows.

A prayer to center on dysregulating days:

Calm me, O Lord (inhale)
as You stilled the storm (exhale)
Still me, O Lord (inhale)
keep me from harm (exhale)
Let all the tumult (inhale)
within me cease (exhale)
Enfold me, Lord (inhale)
in Your peace (exhale)

(an ancient Celtic prayer)

I’ve been working on writing a high school unit on revolutions that will be implemented next fall. It’s a little surreal to be working on this while we are living through one. Not something I ever really expected as a history teacher.

Part of my professional journey has involved a long period of unemployment. I made the decision a year ago that I wouldn’t stay at the school where I was teaching.

I’ve not really been active here, but I suppose I should start building my presence here. I am overall reducing my social media activity.

Place-based education (PBE) is one of our favorite modalities of teaching, but implementing it can feel really intimidating! Over the next few weeks, we'll be answering frequently asked questions about PBE.

The Critical Skills Classroom been around since 1985, created (and recreated) by and for teachers then and now. It's a super flexible approach to PBL and SEL and it's been a labor of love for me since I joined Antioch's faculty back in 2002. @auneeducation.bsky.social
