		<description><![CDATA[Originally posted on TeachHub.com in my series, The Optimistic Educator Last week I jumped into a new district, a new position, and a whole lot of new challenges. After two years teaching in high schools&#8211;one rural and one very urban&#8211;I&#8217;m exploring an entirely new category of teaching. This year, I&#8217;m traveling between two different middle schools [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll never be able to replace parents, whole communities, other schools, and families who have cheated them out of an upbringing. Even when you succeed, in the urban core, at reaching students in one class, the next one [...]]]></description>

We&#8217;re very lucky to be the unique free, public, non-profit hybrid that we are. We have time every day as a staff to talk about our 85 students, our practice, and about what makes us tick.

		<description><![CDATA[When I think about narrative, I'm ultimately brought to reflection. The Wonder Years is a entire television series about the beauty, normalcy, and power of your own story. Whether you're a unpopular and confused middle schooler or a new teacher in a strange chapter of a familiar book, your story is important. Taking note of your own existence, failures, and foibles is something powerful and uniquely human that we can all do.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’m new to teaching. Sometimes I wonder if it’s obvious to others in ways other than my optimistic smile and twinkling eyes. Talking with veteran educators every day is one way I test the waters, and feel out their perceptions of me. No matter the level of experience over me, rank, or area of specialty, I’m always treated delicately. They handle their conversation with me as a one might a small child who’s holding up a “picture of you” scribbled in abstract crayon shapes. Compliments and encouragement pour over the work, but I’m not sure they represent the efforts I’ve put forth. I defend what I’ve done and try to explain things, but after a while the kid gloves they hold me with are simply chaffing. That being said, there’s no way I can thank those people around me enough for their support.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[[Note: This is the optimistic sequel to my challenging week in teaching post "I’ll Show YOU the Meaning of a Grawlix!"]

I think Marcus Aurelius said it best, "The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it." This meditation shows me the way through more dark alleys of life than almost anything else (maybe my wife's cookies help too). You can't stop the world from changing as a whole, but you can control how you react to whatever changes come your way. This has been my operative philosophy of life for a long time, and it has never steered me wrong. Maybe you're not one to "think positive!" or "put your bright side out!" Some of us do just find getting dressed each morning without our smiles, but how can you really expect to see any kind of shift in what comes your way, if you are working constantly to convince yourself that you are, in fact, doomed to be where you are.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[How many of you had bets on about me? What were the odds for burning out at what week, what would my reaction be... I'll tell you now, the smile on my face has faded slightly. I'm tired, behind in my grading, frustrated with my colleagues, and don't even ask me how much I've been neglecting my fantasy football teams (poor Plunderbuss and The Frumious Bandersnatch)! For the first six weeks of teaching, I kept up my blog each week, was always a week ahead, graded only at school, and had no trouble with my six graduate hours of class after school.

The past two weeks I've been a shell of my former self at best...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What can you find at the bottom of a bottle of Excedrin? The bottom of a pot of coffee? It may be some form of peace, a temporary solution to the sum of your stresses, but compared to the power of a supportive community it is static. Those solutions are one-way fixes. The coffee gives me what I expect from it every time, as does the headache pill. A community gives to me and asks that I share in return as a part of the growth process. Solutions to the complex and emotional task of teaching are not simple switches to be toggled on or off. I have truly found that sharing in a two-way with my peers is as important for me as a teacher as it is for my students.]]></description>
