#teachon

Why perturbed if the world closes her ears to the gospel of Christ? . If you are of the world, the world will hear his own. But because you are not of the world and Christ has chosen you, therefore will the world not hear you. . Teach the word, be instant in season and out of season. . Reprove, rebuke and exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine... . #teachtheword #preachon #teachon #dotheworkofanevangelist #dontgiveup https://www.instagram.com/p/CItPNv3lbn1/?igshid=ibrmqoa6dd6z

I got to revisit a novel I read way back in 1984... and of course Toni Morrison’s “Sula” woke me up again to American History’s dark side, personal agency in the face of racist patriarchy and of course how literature can impact us personally and socially . Full circle too... got to observe how two powerful teachers impact their students. First, directly by stepping aside and watching Helena Hitzeman relate “The Great Gatsby”... and as guest teacher for Sandy Porato-Toczylowski’s classes ... it really is inspirational to be in classrooms with students fortunate enough to be guided by the love of learning! #teachon https://www.instagram.com/p/BqQnL3Rl4Ia/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cjicvau72iap

Office hours include teaching at Naperville Central today... should cover Family sushi night costs... but what’s really cool is I’m in one my ex-students classrooms... Mr. Barry Baldwin graduated in 88’ from NNHS, helped us coach that years State Championship girls soccer team... but that’s not the point here, we get to rewrite our history everyday, we get to see the miracle of our lives in our breath, our experience, our witness. #teachon (at Naperville Central High School) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqILUHrlv7M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10ljyt3g6hj8n

My Wednesday in da city office hours included meeting with two of my student teachers at UIC today, in one of our finest history professor’s office , Robert Johnston...I’m so fortunate... to watch these two young women and know they are our future! They’re doing remarkable work at Schurz and Glenbard East... they have already been challenged by content, students, social context and the EdTPA! #teachon (at University of Illinois at Chicago) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpDSXCrBQyM/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=fz34cv0qjyhl
