Nearly 1 in 3 high school girls said they had considered suicide.

I have been supporting the use of Andragogy for delivering PD to educators for over a decade now. It is ironic that when I explain what it is to teachers they get it and agree that it makes sense. The problem is that all educators are programmed in the teaching of kids. Pedagogy is child learning. When we consider that educators deliver most of their PD to other educators from a pedagogical perspective, it may answer the age-old complaint educators have had for centuries, a strong dissatisfactio

Teaching is fundamentally relational; nothing tells students that they matter more than knowing their names. When I started teaching in 1986, I was so busy worrying about what I would teach that I neglected to learn who I would be teaching. During those first few years of teaching, learning all of my students' names seemed to take forever.
