"It will all work out in
the end." "But, how?" "It's a mystery."
Shakespeare in Love
For me, this quote
neatly sums up what I consider to be the essence of my teaching. In my twenty
plus years of learning my craft, there has
always been an element of mystery surrounding the outcome of what the students
and I do together. Granted, there is planning and a great deal of thought
given to what happens. But not one of us can predict the outcome of each particular group’s positive synergy. It is our collective spark that makes
the mundane— magical. It is what makes our whole educational experience
the exciting mystery it is.
This site holds a collection of items which serves as an introduction to the
kind of teaching, and design behind, what your child does this year. To find
out about me as a person, go to the Learning My Craft section. To find out why I
teach as I do, the Philosophy page. Learning Together encompasses all the
organizational details needed for the class to run smoothly. Finally, the
Articles section contains a plethora of informational pieces I have written both
inside and outside of school. For current student projects, please go to
The 4-F Main which contains an archive link.
