Introductions
Hi everyone,
Being new here, I don’t know a lot of the Community of Practice Members. I’ll introduce myself with a little background; please comment and tell me a bit about yourselves.
I grew up surrounded by educators, most of whom were obsessed with this new-fangled “learner centered education” idea. It took me a long time to recognize that not all teachers and administrators knew about this idea, and it took even longer for me to begin to identify why some are so frightened by the idea of a radical change to a learner-centered environment.
In an effort to get away from education, I went to school for theatre, music, and writing, but quickly found myself drawn to arts education, and arts’ place in the school curriculum. I spent a year teaching English to French children and began putting those theories into practice in my classroom. Now I’m back in the states, working at FableVision, and I’m drawn more than ever to learning about the theories, opinions, lesson plans and stories that other educators have to share.
Next?
