 Eric, it's always wonderful to get outside school. Sounds like fun.

When I mentioned discussions of practice, I had in mind the sort of
praxis-oriented discussion initiated by Gordon's work, but directed at our
own practices. Critical reflection on what works/ doesn't work. Actually,
I'm not teaching this semester, so I was cheating -- hoping to listen in on
anyone else who might have the time and inclination.

Judy;

My favorite teaching practice is to take a group of students camping.
This helps to remove much of the baggage associated with going to school
and provide a setting that has numerous opportunities for sharing and
turn taking. Also I bring along several field guides to promote
opportunites for reading and the study of scientific taxonomy. This
camping is done in a regional park 13 miles from our school in a
campsite that costs $15 plus $4 for the vehicle permit.

What is your favorite teaching practice Judy?
