Welcome!

I am writing this blog in order to publicize some of the unfamiliar and unconventional teaching methods that I will attempt to employ in my 6th grade humanities classroom at a NYC charter school. I have limited formal training as an educator and less than a year's worth of experience as a public school teacher, but what I lack for in experience and training I will try to make up for through innovation and critical thinking about my goals, objectives, and methodology.

My hope is that by committing more of my ideas to a written log, I will better organize my attempts to innovate in the classroom. Furthermore, by sharing my ideas I hope to gain insight from others who have more of the experience and education that I lack, perhaps reminding me of why some things never change but perhaps also opening up some new ground for others.

Wish me luck!
