Constructive Mutualism Teaching from a different paradigm

Having a classroom that is uniquely different from others is a challenge. Naming the paradigm that explains why my classroom works affirms my pedagogical beliefs. #TeacherSky #EduSky #SubstackSky

What If We Celebrated More? Leaning into community celebrations as a temporal antidote to what ails us

It seems like there’s two strategies to big parties: total sell out or total quashing. Both are problematic. But it seems that if we let our hair down in a bit of a more temporally defined way, things might get a bit better. #AcademicSky #SubstackSky

Live Painting the President A Foray into Christian Nationalist Art

You might think that art isn’t being done on the Right, but it is. And it’s pushing forward a vision of Trump that mixes politics and religion as well as performance and paint. #SubstackSky #AcademicSky

Christian Imperialism (Iran Edition) How Christian nationalism is being used to justify the war in Iran

Christian nationalism is theocracy. It’s also a call to White domination. Of course it’s being used to justify the attack in Iran. #SubstackSky #AcademicSky

I Have Some Notes... (SOTU Edition) It’s State of the Union day, which means that everyone turns into a performance critic as we turn to watch the President give an overly long speech which rather than telling us what’s going on really ...

There’s no bully pulpit like the SOTU and better chance for political theater. Trump used both last night, but just like a good play, the script was fiction. I have some notes… #SubstackSky #Academicsky

This is Air Understanding and Changing the Way Teachers and Students See School

Instead of trying to force students to reconcile their schooling experiences to metaphors that are meaningless to them, perhaps we should create a new mental model for students. #TeacherSky #EduSky #SubstackSky

Renamed my Substack to "One Very Angry Woman" because I feel like it's on course to become a place for my frustration and anger at the world so that I don't keep it bottled up inside, letting it fester and ruin my psychological wellbeing

Who Loves Melania This Much? Melania, the FLOTUS documentary produced by Amazon and directed by Brett Ratner, which opened over the weekend, exemplified a lot of strange contradictions.

The gulf between the critics score and the audience score is...quite a gulf! #SubstackSky #AcademicSky
