history class '09

For a number of years - maybe five now - I have been involved in a Minnesota History class through the MNHS and Hamline.

In the past we have had Loiell and Eric, two excellent guest lecturers.

This year we have Michael Kazin. He even has an appearance on the Bob Edwards show available on here The Bob Edwards Show, Michael Kazin and Karen Armstrong, December 25, 2008

Impressive.

Our second presenter is even better: Don Schwartz. He is a professor in California and a former high school teacher. He works with the high school teachers and various programs and institutes to help teachers construct lesson plans.

Though it has almost become second nature to me, lesson planning is something I have begun to take for granted. Mr. Schwartz is getting me excited about the nuts and bolts of teaching again.

I'm sure I'll have me information coming soon.
