About Me   About Me
I am a high school English language learning teacher interested in working with teachers and students around the world towards active, collaborative, social justice and education.

Currently I am working on 2 classrooms and hope to be open and receptive to your ideas.

1. If the world were a village; A "mini-earth"

Mini-Earth looks at what percent of the world as a community is __% of __ nationality, what percent of the world is __% disabled, __% religion, __% owns 59% of the world’s wealth, __% hungry or malnourished, __% are not able to read or write, __% do not finish high school, __% have a computer, __% have an internet connection (the video provided was made in 2001), __% live on less than $2 a day.

Students around the world are invited to participate and contribute.
This lesson is in no way to teach inertia. When I first taught this lesson it led to sponsoring an 8 year old girl in India named Josly and I continue to send her (and sometimes her 14 fellow classmates) what the students make or want to give.

2. Status of women in the world throughout history

Students are asked how things have changed since their great-grandparents' time, what they think still needs to be changed and what that change would look like. They could even interview older family.
