..classroom teaching….

is perhaps the most complex, most challenging, and most demanding, subtle, nuanced, and frightening activity that our species has ever invented….

The only time a physician could possibly encounter a situation of comparable complexity would be in the emergency room of a hospital during a natural disaster.

-Quote from Lee Shulman, The Wisdom of Practice

Doctor + Farmer = Educator!

Welcome Back! This schedule is for all Educators. If you have any specific questions about reporting times, please contact your building administrator or Aaron.
