Join MTC... or not.

Ruby Payne response

nobody@vox.com(ashton) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 20:02:45 -0700

In short, I found Payne's book to be interesting; however, she failed to provide me with really any new knowledge. I've heard most of what she said before, and now that I'm up to my eyeballs in poverty stricken students, Payne's book proved to be ...

yet another self evaluation- July video blog

nobody@vox.com(ashton) — Wed, 08 Jul 2009 06:33:22 -0700

Teaching in July was significantly easier than teaching in June. My initial jitters were gone, and I felt more confident with my subject area and in the classroom, something that I thought was noticeable in this video. I still made plenty of mista...

Video Taped Lesson Evaluation #1

nobody@vox.com(ashton) — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 19:20:20 -0700

Questions

nobody@vox.com(ashton) — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 12:01:12 -0700

I tend to ask a lot of questions throughout my lessons which I know is not the best thing. I'm going to blame three years of tutoring athletes for that one. I learned early on with that job that only by asking a question can I ensure that the stud...

Reluctant Disciplinarian

nobody@vox.com(ashton) — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 12:09:42 -0700

I found Reluctant Disciplinarian to be hilariously entertaining at the author's expense. When trying to pinpoint the origin of his disastrous first year as a classroom disciplinarian, Rubinstein reflects on a story from his childhood. Each time hi...

Delta Autumn

nobody@vox.com(ashton) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:12:13 -0700

After reading Delta Autumn, I'm glad that MTC continues to print copies for First Years to read year after year. As a first year teacher and a lifelong student, I am slowly learning that there is more to teaching that I don't know than I actually...

a little Olympic history- Barcelona style.

nobody@vox.com(ashton) — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 10:33:45 -0700

In celebration of the '08 games coupled with the fact that I find myself missing Spain as I pack for school, here's a little Olympic history- Barcelona style. Held in the wake of German reunification, the end of the South African apartheid, the br...
