Greetings, world!

I've been thinking about starting a blog on my teaching for a while now, and I've clearly decided to take the plunge. I have some ideas about what this thing will look like, but you know what they say about the best laid plans. So, I'm just going to blog.

My desire to blog about teaching started with the North East Writing Institute. I worked on a piece of writing there, for an entire week, that wound up representing me as a teacher (I'll post it soon). That, in turn, got me to thinking about publication and sharing my ideas with the world.

I start my fourth year of teaching in less than a week, and I have a lot to say. I have a lot to offer my students and my colleagues. But, because of my youth, I'm not always heard, or I'm not taken seriously. My theory is that with a blog, people can listen or not. And the huge plus here is that I don't need to watch them roll their eyes when I say what I think.

My goals at this point are simple:

1. Write at least one post a week
2. Write with honesty and sincerity
3. Do the first two of these goals, faithfully

So, here it goes. A Teacher in Progress**. I hope, if you've read this far, that you'll follow my journeys as a teacher. Follow me with the little link on the right, or just bookmark my blog. Let me know that you're out there! Leave a comment, if you want (telling me to shut up, keep talking, or what to talk about).

Fingers crossed!
