Hello and welcome to ED-P 790 seminar course!
Much of what we will explore in this course will revolve around valuing the past experiences that you have had and recognizing the many skills and learning that you bring to developing your teaching approaches and your understanding of learning.
For this first entry, before we meet in class on the first day, please attempt (under comments below - not in a new post) to add a famous quotation that best represents you.
Looking forward to meeting you all!

"So you see, imagination needs moodling - long, inefficient, happy idling, dawdling and puttering."
Brenda Ueland
one of my favorite quotes, that I first heard in the movie Dead Poets Society...
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life and see if I could not learn what it had to teach so that not when I came to die discover I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear. I wanted to live deep. To suck out all the marrow of life. To live so sturdily and spartan-like so as to put to route all that was not life.
... bit of a long one, but I like it!
I had trouble picking just one, so I have added two really short ones...
"Friendship is a single soul dwelling in two bodies."
Aristotle
and...
"To thine own self be true..."
William Shakespeare
"If reason is divine, then, in comparison with man, the life according to it is divine in comparison with human life. But we must not follow those who advise us, being men, to think of human things, and being mortal, of mortal things, but must, so far as we can, make ourselves immortal, and strain every nerve to live in accordance with the best thing in us; for even if it be small in bulk, much more does it in power and worth surpass everything." (Aristotle "Ethics" 1177b 30-1178a)
Wow, coming up with only one was hard, so two short ones it is:
"Dare to be honest and fear no labor." Robbie Burns
"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth." John 3:18
This is my one and only life, and it's a great and terrible and short and endless thing, and none of us come out of it alive.
This quote represents how I feel about going back to school...
"Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb." Sir Winston Churchill
It was difficult to pick a quote. But I think this one best represents me:
"I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one h[eck] of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult. "
-E.B. White
"Character is higher than intellect. A great soul will be strong to live as well as think."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
C. S. Lewis
I think that this quote best embodies why I have decided to enter into a career in education and what motivates and inspires me...
“In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.” - Baba Dioum
"Not all those who wander are lost." J.R.R. Tolkien
