About Me
A farm kid from Wisconsin, I set out for Kansas 10 years ago and then onto Arizona 7 years ago. I have taught all grade levels from 7-12 in Social Studies. Currently, I am teaching at Mount Elden Middle School in Flagstaff, AZ. In my position there I teach on a multi-age, looping, interdisciplinary team. I love my job!

    Where did you live in Kansas? I moved to Kansas from Texas. I've been to Phoenix and Tucson, but never Flagstaff. I've heard that it is awesome.

    Hi! Just watched your TED talk and loved it!

    But I do have to ask the following question:

    What happens to grades and grading in this form of education?

    As a parent, my main concern is with teachers who do not mark grades based on my kids' learning or process, but rather on the basis or right%wrong% in tests. A students isn't allowed to get it wrong in a test, nor does he have access to information during a test...
