Learning is life.

Education is not a preparation for life but is life itself. – John Dewey

About

I teach 6th Grade Language Arts at Waukee Middle School in Waukee, Iowa.

I believe in the power of story. This blog is where I’m telling part of mine. You can find our classroom blog at MrGoerend.com. Our family blog is at TheGoerends.com. If you Google around, I’m sure you can find me in other places, as well.

The following is the “about page” I created 3 years ago, when I started this blog. It’s still true, and I like keeping it here, but I should update it sometime.

I’m looking at this blog as a conversation of what I’m doing, what I’m thinking, and what I’m learning. I also see it as putting my money where my mouth is as a life-long learner. Contribute as little or as much as you’d like.

I’ve got a few goals for this blog:

  • Challenge and be challenged
  • Communicate with colleagues in our field as well as those interested in the growth of our children
  • Weigh my personal decisions and abilities as an educator with my short- and long-term goals
  • Gather resources to share with the education community

If you’d like to get in contact with me, send me an email or connect with me on Twitter.
