The First Time!

Wow, after a long time contemplating this, I'm finally entering the blogosphere and creating my own! What do I hope to accomplish? My goal is share my thoughts on American education, and hopefully gain your insights into how we can improve teaching. As a pre-service teacher, I'm acutely aware of the enormous task our educators face, and I can't wait to be a part of this shared journey toward academic excellence. There are so many educators making a fantastic difference, but the data shows that we still have a long way to go. I enjoy following education news, and so when I come across an interesting article I'll be sure to post a link. Perhaps you'll read it and offer your own comments, thus sparking the creative discourse necessary for improvement.
