Most of my grad students are also current teachers of middle and high school -- and it is one of the primary ways I justify to myself the seemingly out-of-touch work I do: because they turn around and apply what they learned in their own classrooms. <br /><br />And, of course, the benefits flow the other way as well, because I learn so much from my "teachers on the ground" -- they are heroes to me.The Bittersweet Girlhttp://bitternsweet.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-25494850950006246422010-04-14T07:32:46.682-04:002010-04-14T07:32:46.682-04:00What a wonderful story.What a wonderful story.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10212455670376842360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-63937261668516158232010-04-13T22:33:24.892-04:002010-04-13T22:33:24.892-04:00There's nothing but good about this, babe.

Super low-tech.<br /><br />(I <i>do</i> benefit from JSTOR and Project Muse and the ability to set up an online coursepack of secondary readings--but that's about it).Flaviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17832765671541392835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27054305.post-52794590176236967362010-04-13T19:24:53.622-04:002010-04-13T19:24:53.622-04:00Clicking through from Historiann==really beautiful...Clicking through from Historiann==really beautiful.

This is such a great story. Hey, gu...**blub!!!***<br /><br />This is such a great story. Hey, guess what? <i>education works--pass it on!</i><br /><br />And I bet you and he aren't using clickers or Twitter or any neato-whizzbang gadgets, but rather are convening small groups of people together for conversations about books you've read alongside one another. <br /><br />You should be proud. You've been such an inspiration to your student that he's turning other teachers onto Milton. And guess what? This is going to benefit their teaching more than any seminars by consultants, more than any "center for teaching and learning," and waaaaay more than the frapping tests they have to administer to their hapless students.<br /><br />Excuse me while I wipe the tears from my eyes to SALUTE you, madam!Historiannhttp://historiann.comnoreply@blogger.com
