Oftentimes critics view teachers as people who only work 10 months out of the year and do nothing for July and August. To them I would respond accordingly: 1) if you had my job, you would definitely need a break and 2) I am not doing "nothing." I am taking two months to explore how I can better educate my students through introspection and experience.
I am about to leave Philadelphia for a trip to Eastern Europe and Israel. While I'm gone I will be blogging about my experiences and reflecting on how I can incorporate them into my teaching in the future. I will try to keep them succinct mostly because I won't want to spend THAT much time in front of a computer instead of walking around a new city. I hope to find some intriguing architectural wonders, artistic expressions of awesome, and just generally have a good time, too.
For the curious my travel plans are: Philly->Warsaw, Poland->Lithuania->Helsinki, Finland->St. Petersburg and Moscow, Russia->Kiev, Ukraine->Budapest, Hungary-> Vienna, Austria->Israel->Philly.
