I was interviewed for Mississippi Public Radio just the other day, and I wanted to share the link with everyone.

My fantastic teaching partner, in the picture of the article, was teaching Chemistry by playing trashketball.  The jerseys are quite classy!

Reflecting on the piece, my comment in text format is a good reflection of my scattered thoughts. In the audio clip, on the other hand, I think I ramble on enough to get a decent reflection of my TFA experience.

One thing I would like to clarify is that many students do come to class wanting to learn, and for me to generalize all student weren’t motivated was inconsiderate.  I just think when it comes to Chemistry, particularly summer school Chemistry, it usually takes a little more effort for students to be invested because of the rigor and the preconceived notions of a typical Chemistry class.
