Where English teachers can relax their minds and wander aimlessly among links to some of my favorite educational websites and conference tidbits, and view the thinking-in-process mental thoughts of the site's creator.

Welcome!
Greetings!
This blog includes general observations and information related to all things English. This includes, but is not limited to: the teaching of English/Language Arts, teacher education, testing, websites of use to teachers, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), strategies, activities, links to other sites of interest, and commentary on upcoming conferences, events and classroom muddle.
As the world shrinks and the employment landscape of America continues to evolve, it is necessary that now more than ever English/Language Arts teachers are adequately trained to assist students in obtaining their dreams, their hearts' desire.
We must open the world to students, we must expand their literary horizons, we must create meaningful assignments that remain with students well beyond their due dates, we must challenge them and we must make them think.
Teachers must also remain committed to their students' success while maintaining professionalism and championing needed reforms.
Teachers must remain current on pedagogical shifts and discoveries while facing and conquering their personal fears related to technology and "edutainment" as coined by KRS-1.
