Today I was approached about putting together a new class for our department. As we discuss and move tentatively into developing curriculum and programs that will address rigor and relevance for our students as well as help them to our ultimate goal of becoming lifelong learners I am being given an opportunity to re-invent myself as a teacher.
The content is good stuff -the boom of the 20's and the bust of the 30's- but I think I am even more excited by the idea of presentation and instruction of the content. After 10 years a person needs a mental shake and our school's effort and growing pains is providing that for me. I want to incorporate some of the web 2.o tools into this new class and stretch myself out of my own comfort level to make this class outstanding and unique in the district.
Can I do it? Only time will tell.
