Back up and running. Summer is a great time for reflecting.  Check out my process.

Well something had to give.  It was the blog. I'm back, but with no promises except one.  I will post good stuff here when I post.  With that being said. Here is a preview of topics to come in future videos about connecting students with the community in a meaningful way.   This is taken from a group of essays I wrote last year.  I hope you find it useful.  As teachers it is our job to ensure that education transcends the classroom. There are as many ways to connect students and the community as there are teachers to teach them. When done successfully the impact on students is powerful. In addition to, and through a subject's content Teachers should encourage and equip students to be their own educational advocate by being aware of and able to successfully navigate the educational landscape leading to their success.  Students who attend any class should learn the roles, function and purpose of administrators and counselors....

One of my goals during this extended summer break was to start a Patreon for this "Free Teacher Information" project.  That goal has been reached.  As of this moment, I am live and running with a new Patreon site.

It's been a while since my last post.  I have survived a hurricane and still have not started school yet.  Other than that everything has been going according to schedule.  I have managed to keep up the video end of this project over the past few days.  Amazingly I still have not missed a day.   I officially posted the Classroom setup video today.  You might want to check that out.  I also managed to record segments on seating arrangements, The unfairness of grades, and Student empowerment.  I have started working on my Patreon page for this project as well.  In the future, I hope to offer lesson evaluation and presentation tips as well as other helpful tools to aid teachers in their craft.  I will continue to keep things up to date here as best I can.  Hopefully, we are done with hurricanes for the year. I enjoy learning and teaching with you.   Together we can take over the world. Chris

Before I dive into this weighty and very important topic I will announce now that the first week of my vlogging project is complete.  Please come by and take a look at The Daily Lesson .  Be sure and hit the thumbs up so it becomes easier for other teachers to find this information.  Also If you want to know when I post and have access to the future "Teacher's Lounge"   be sure and subscribe. I posted a video that prompted some private discussion about the adversarial relationships in the education system; student and teacher, teacher and parents, teacher and administration. Here is an essay I wrote on the same topic.  I hope it helps shed some light on what I consider to be one of the biggest problems facing education today. How often do we hear things like,”Students in public education are different than they were when I was in school.  They are disrespectful.  They simply will not follow directives.  They treat teachers and ...

today was a very productive day.   Here is the video I posted .  Hope you find it useful Chris
