http://leoandtracy.blogspot.com/2011/02/motivation-theories-skinny.html
Ah, makes much more sense to live in the present tense" Pearl Jam. Friday, February 18, 2011. Motivation Theories: The Skinny. Motivation is cool. So cool that I decided to write a dissertation about it (to be written- still waiting on the motivation and the data). Turns out that a lot of people think motivation is cool, and you can get paid lots of money for helping people motivate other people (not in the Chris Farley motivational speaker. Kind of way, but in the Daniel Pink book. Note: For those consi...

Ah, makes much more sense to live in the present tense" Pearl Jam. Friday, April 30, 2010. Pathways to Teacher Credentialing. Article: Panel Finds No Favorite in Teacher Prep Pathways. Here's the skinny- After six years, a 24-member national committee found no conclusive evidence to assert superiority between traditional and alternative (e.g., Teach for America) credentialing programs for teachers. I'm still cutting my teeth on how to address this problem, but it is addling. Wednesday, April 28, 2010.

Ah, makes much more sense to live in the present tense" Pearl Jam. Thursday, December 9, 2010. For Teachers, More Experience Means More Effectiveness, Right? Common wisdom and current pay scales suggest that the longer one teaches the more effective they become. However, there is substantial research to suggest that the relationship between experience and effectiveness is not so linear. Here ( The Impact of Teacher Experience. Is a link to a recent publication from the Urban Institute. At my clinical int...

Ah, makes much more sense to live in the present tense" Pearl Jam. Monday, August 23, 2010. A look at how we give care in the last moments. After a 5-month hiatus, I've returned, spurred by the threat of being booted from the blog's byline and the looming presence of another semester. I want to share two articles on end-of-life care. If you have some time, read Atul Gwande's article in the New Yorker. I really, highly, strongly recommend this article - essential reading). This same concept can be applied...

present tense: What is a waste of time?
http://leoandtracy.blogspot.com/2011/07/what-is-waste-of-time.html
Ah, makes much more sense to live in the present tense" Pearl Jam. Monday, July 25, 2011. What is a waste of time? While I was entertained by the extravagance of the bike, the pragmatist in me could not help but think of the alternative uses of that time. Surely, he could have been volunteering or working towards some endeavor of human progress (e.g., teaching, cleaning the environment, or building something usable).

Ah, makes much more sense to live in the present tense" Pearl Jam. Monday, February 28, 2011. I'm sharing this video because it speaks my love for San Francisco. Come March, my postal address will no longer include those words, but that just means I'll be scrambling up the hills to catch glimpses of the city across the bay, reflecting on my MUNI experiences, or making any excuse to go visit Green Apple Books and Burma Superstar. Thanks Simon Christen for a beautiful reminder. Friday, February 18, 2011.

Ah, makes much more sense to live in the present tense" Pearl Jam. Saturday, November 6, 2010. Two recent documentaries have stoked debates in education. I have viewed both, and I wanted to briefly comment on the films, their meta-messages, and their influence on education. Hopefully, this is helpful in the discourse, rather than incendiary for proponents or opponents. Website: www.waitingforsuperman.com. Website: www.racetonowhere.com/. Watch them, and let me know what you think! In The Present Tense.

Ah, makes much more sense to live in the present tense" Pearl Jam. Thursday, June 16, 2011. Unemployme- -er, Vacation! It's been a while since either of us have updated, so I thought I'd take a moment out of my SUPER BUSY (note exaggeration) day to provide a quick update. Most of you know I graduated in May from nursing school, but with a dismal job market (45% of new RN grads from 2010 are still unemployed), I am - - let's just call it forced time off. And The Emperor of All Maladies. Cinque Terre, Ital...
