First, a disclaimer: I didn't invent that phrase "to enter into a yearly journey" to describe teaching high school. I swiped it from a woman named Anglica Q., on the website Ignatian Spirituality. You see, "Ignatian spirituality,sees God as actively involved in the world and intimately involved with us in every moment and place." Yup!
Angelica Q. tweeted:
"I find God in my service as an educator--in the eyes of my students with whom I
enter into a yearly journey.
I stole her description it because it perfectly encapsulates how I feel about teaching high school, and about the learning communities I try to cultivate each year in my classes.
August looms. I am closing my summer reading books, finishing two graduate school classes, and preparing to teach two new courses: American Literature and American History. This book is in my purse.
