Tonya and I went the tedious route of emailing key people in charge of the different departments in every school district we could think of. I also contacted folks by phone and asked if we could sent a flyer for them to post in workrooms, etc. at their schools. The personal touch seemed to help us expand our reach. I followed up three times to…[Read more]

We also offer credits. Participants must be full participants, read Five Chimneys before coming, and complete an action plan for implementing their new learning into the classroom.
This year we are including two days of iWitness training and will, most likely, require that the participants completed a mini-lesson using iWitness as part of earning…[Read more] -

Hello Bryan! Welcome to the group. I taught Catholic Literature last year and my students wrote some wonderful short stories. I am interested to hear about what you do with your students. I love to sing and listen […]

Tracey – Thanks for your reflection. I also look forward to talking with you about this subject. I think it is very important to approach but also realize how sensitive it is, especially in the South. See you […]

Judy,
I would like to discuss this further with you when we meet. What do the students think of their results? What do you do with the information the students receive? How does this contribute to greater […]

“How do we keep those whose morals are based on hate from perpetuating the cycle?” I propose that we do this by teaching compassion and truth. While every person is entitled to their own opinion, every opinion is […]

Brad,
I do not think I can say “hooray” too loudly or too long after reading this. I am a big proponent of not reinventing the wheel! Every time I log onto this page I get more and more excited about this seminar.

I am responding to an event at the end of the book – spoiler alert! – but will try not to reveal too much for those of you who have not gotten that far yet.
I live in a neighborhood where I (a white female) am […]

I also found the descriptions of Dr. Mengele to be disturbing. The complete arbitrariness of both his selection process and also the experiments he performed on the prisoners. Knowing that many, if not most, of […]

I believe that empathy cannot be taught, but I firmly believe that compassion “sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it” can be. Empathy asks us to actually feel the […]

As I was reading this part of the book I found myself thinking how lucky I am that I actually get to teach morals and ethics. But, reading your thoughts, Jeremy, I find I can relate. As a Theology teacher I come […]
