I need a certificate of completition please
Amazing!
love the transparency. if only all schools were this way.
I am new to this as far as wanting to "teach" and know there are things left out of the classrooms, which often involves the relationship with personal life. Relationship building is paramount.
This was very idealistic and that's great and all, but this didn't give me very many practical ideas or tools for teaching in a context that is realistic for most high school English teachers. I don't have three hours at a time over the course of multiple years to teach how to write poetry. I don't have two other mentors in the room. You've created this space that's supposed to help both teachers and students learn how to be powerful in poetry. However, this course does next to nothing in terms of practical instruction for the tools offered, the lessons we could or should teach, realistic time frames, etc. I could have gotten this sort of inspirational video off YouTube. I expected something I can use more effectively to bring poetry to life. Once again, I guess I'll have to reinvent the wheel.
I saw Love flow.
Great match! I teach an Advanced Poetry Workshop and was looking for new, relevant approaches to teaching in an urban public school. This did it!
