I have a lot of opinions about one of the great loves of my life: learning.
As a career educator, I teach, I tutor, I coach, I design learning, I build and deliver trainings.
I have formed clear ideas about how learning happens and how education should work. You will find a plethora of my ideas here.
I was a literature major, and so literature moves me - to think, to feel, and to write.
Often when I finish reading a work, if I am moved, I will write about it.
When I am preparing to teach something, I will write about it to "feel" it (I can't teach something I don't feel). What rises to the top in writing also tends to be what I end up teaching.
When my students wrote timed writings, I would often write with them.
Here, you will find a variety of my writings about works.
Creative writings, both short prose and poetry, are experiments in writing that cover the gamut of things that move one to write, from love and living to the evolution of the soul. I also love to write fiction and nonfiction - long and short form - poetry - whatever I am moved to write.
Finite Writing
For those who are interested in learning what must be in our writing as well as how to grow as writers, meet Finite Writing, a philosophy and set of practices that will transform how you see writing, as well as how you feel as a writer.
“If we want to compete in a world economy, the public education system should adopt her method of teaching students to write so we can produce some first-class critical thinkers with writing skills.
This manual would be great for a classroom English teacher or a parent homeschooling their child in English.” (Amazon Review)
