One new method of teaching I plan to use this year is called the Modern Classroom.  Once you learn more about it, I am sure you are going to like it.

"The greatest evil in our country today is not racism, but  ignorance. I believe unconditionally in the ability of people to respond when they are told the truth. We need to be taught to study rather than believe, to inquire rather than to affirm." 


Here is an interesting quote I saw during the summer.
