“If you want to build a ship,
don't drum up people together to collect wood
and don't assign them tasks and work,
but rather teach them to
long for the endless immensity of the sea.”

Antoine de Saint-Exupery, 1948
How does an average public middle school teacher build ships?
I have no idea, but I try every day.
This is the somewhat true story of a series of utter failures and a few successes.

My Mission Impossible?
In a classroom without walls (not without boundaries, limits, and parameters),
I want to effectively motivate students...
- to develop a passion for learning and a purpose in life,
- to assume responsibility,
- to take ownership in the classroom/workplace,
- to study and communicate with colleagues/teachers,
- to maintain grit in the face of rigor and doubt,
- to ask good questions
- and to work alongside a team to creatively solve 21st century obstacles/problems.
