Thank you. SLA is a small, inner-city, charter school. I still don't know how they accept students, I have many questions still to ask. I do know that the students were engaged, participating, digging deeply into ideas, and collaborating in every room. I loved it and have been processing the learning all week. Thanks for the Florida warmth - it was needed. Paul, I saw this last weekend. Thank you. SLA is a small, inner-city, charter school.

My favorite quotes by Pedro are: “The best teachers teach the way kids learn.” Unfortunately, most are still trying to teach the opposite way. “Your background should not determine who should go to college.” That one (for me) may go up on the wall at work or at least on my door! Thank you for sharing :) Great share with those of us not there. My favorite quotes by Pedro are:

This one is so true of my HS "“Too many high school teachers confuse teaching with talking." Thanks for sharing... Great quotes!

We are also weeds and need attention. I am amazed at how much I learn from them. Thank you, Lorraine. Safe travels and call often with mom updates!

So much to think about and share here. Clay, I read that article today as well and would agree that gardening is an essential skill for all. It does wonders to play in the dirt and harvest nourishment from your labor. That is what teaching is, we tend our crop with the hope that our harvest will be healthy and sustainable. No doom and gloom, just possibility. Good to meet you Mary, thanks for looking in Kelly, and Paul you always make me smile. I can't figure out how to add a photo to my name! I am learning wordpress. I like your image here. Karen stay tuned for some qualitative research sharing. I have written Dr. Pedro Noguera for permission to post the BLC08 keynote here. It is powerful and a great reminder to all of us as we re-imagine our schools. Thank you all for your visit and words. So much to think about and share here.
