Inspirations for Teaching Growth & Planning

Articles and Ideas here help shape my practice and change my lessons. I'm using this as both a clarifying place and an imaginative place, so what you see here is not the finished product but the origins of ideas. I hope to record how they flow from idea through research to planning. Eventually, I'd like to revisit the original ideas here and report how they came to fruition and what the results were.

How Dorothea Lange Taught Us To See Hunger And Humanity

Shared from Zite

I want to live in a Unites States that "scrutinizes itself visually" and in all ways.

Perhaps the kids can write their own loving scrutiny of what they see.

Can tiny houses help fix homelessness?

Mother Jones - Similar projects to put tiny roofs over people's heads have popped up in a handful of US cities. This new approach to homelessness offers the physical protection of a traditional shelter without sacrificing the autonomy of life on the street. And it's undoubtedly time for some new options: An estimated 578,424 Americans had no home in 2014. While twenty-eight percent of renter households live below the poverty line, the typical new apartment in 2012 was unaffordable to anyone making under $43,000.

Could we focus on homeless vets? I wouldn't want to leave out women.

Silicon Valley discovers the cheapest way to help the homeless: Give them homes.

Shared from Zite

Class project?


But how to account for preconceived notions (including my own) of homelessness and varied approaches toward helping them? 


Consider the value of doing anything in this area of need.

Silicon Valley discovers the cheapest way to help the homeless: Give them homes.

Mother Jones - Curtis Randle, who had been chronically homeless for about eight years, holds the keys to his apartment at New Hope Housing in Houston, Texas. Johnny Hanson/AP Santa Clara County is perhaps best known as the home of Silicon Valley. It also has one of the country's highest rates of homelessness and its third largest chronically homeless population.
