The Best of I Want to Teach Forever: February 2009

I was worried that the 52 Teachers, 52 Lessons project was going to fizzle out when I had no submissions after Week 4, but after some intense recruiting, we had two more great posts this month and a few more already lined up for the future. I'm still looking for help finding top education sites outside the US so that the project can become a world wide phenomenon! In the meantime, here's this month's entries:

• Week 4 - Joel from So You Want to Teach? suggests that sometimes, quitting may be the best thing you can do.
• Week 5 - Kate from f(t) cautions us against automatically embracing any technology just because it's technology.
  
• Week 6 - Miss Cal.Q.L8 advises potential teachers to try subbing first.
• Add 52 Teachers, 52 Lessons to your favorites to read them all!

Besides the project, here are my top five (technically six) posts for February:

1. Sports Statistics: Final Project and Final Reflections (2/1)
   
2. The Mohawk Experiment, Year Two: First Impressions (2/6) & follow up Does It Work? (2/17).
3. Transforming Logarithmic Functions Bingo (2/8)
   
4. Life Without Teaching and An Experimental School Model (2/19)
5. The Many Faces of Mr. D (2/24) - Spring cleaning has unearthed some treasures from my teaching career, including a series of student sketches of yours truly. If you were to view only these drawings, you might believe I was either a hairy, obese slave driver or a jacked-up baller with a lowrider. Yes, it's that good.
