The 1-Year Anniversary Blog Post

1/27/2012

From the absolute bottom of my heart I want to thank all of you for reading the (sometimes silly) musings I am sharing with the world. When I decided to write this blog it was a snow day for the School District of Philadelphia and I was enjoying my free day at home. Instead of catching up on lesson plans (as teachers often do) I decided to begin voicing my concerns on education and articulate thoughts that might help me figure out some solutions. So, here we are one year later: the problems are worse than ever, there are few people around to solve them, and it seems like there is no hope in sight. But, as Avril Lavigne put it so nicely, we need to 'keep holding on.'

I've spent the past year really reflecting on teaching, education, and the future of Philadelphia's children. I will continue writing here and will try to provide ideas and thoughts on what we can do to change things for the better. To that end I am going to structure things a little more formally to help myself focus a bit more. Every week I will try to post something from each of these categories:
  • Innovating mathematics education
  • The School District of Philadelphia
  • The global debate on education
I am hope that this structure will help guide my reading and writing as well as providing you, the reader, with some understanding of what is going to come next. For now, please enjoy this article on the interesting reason why so many people incorrectly place two spaces after a period.

    I am a math teacher in the New York Department of Education. I infuse technology and real-world problems into my curriculum in order to prepare my students for the future. I would love for people across the country to recognize we teachers can't do it alone. If you don't believe me, come visit my classroom!
