Montessori Education

I never thought I would be one of those education-nut moms.  But I am .  Here is a great video on montessori education, which I am a big believer in.  At least for now... with my 3 year old.  Who knows, I might change my mind later. Check out a video that presents one parent's observations.

February Conference Presentation

Recently I have become more interested in researching ways of engaging my ELL students.  I am presenting some of what I learned through my own research and Dr. Sauro's ESL 6063 class in the fall at a conference on Feb 4.  The San Antonio Writing Project is holding its 6th annual teacher conference at UTSA (downtown).  The title of this year's conference is Avoiding Writicide: Valuing Writing in Tough Times.

I will be presenting a paper titled "Understanding, Identifying, and Engaging English Language Learners in the Classroom."

Did I mention Jeff Anderson will be the keynote speaker? You can learn more about him here.
