Teaching For Community
 Thank you SO very much for an absolutely wonderful weekend in an unbeatable setting and with absolutely lovely food! It was nourishment for the soul, in so many different ways—and a treat to meet so many intriguing, thoughtful colleagues! Bisse Bowman Young Achievers Science and Math Pilot School Boston, Massachussetts Participant educators work hard reflecting on and writing about their curriculum, over the course of a weekend—taking ample opportunity to enjoy each other's experiences and company. Participating educators all share the goal of connecting students to their communities, encouraging them to know, participate in, and care about the future of the places that nurture them. "It was great to have the opportunity to look back, evaluating, get to the ‘big picture,’ and be reinspired by colleagues and their work." Steve Glazer, Director Vital Communities/Valley Quest Program Reflection Retreat Participant  We work hard to help hone educators' experiences in ways that will speak to and inspire their peers. We also have the practical aim of wanting to share their work as part of ongoing qualitative evaluation, but above all we want to provide the gift of time to think about and celebrate what they and their students had accomplished. Over the course of two and a half days in January, we talk, write, edit, tell stories, eat, laugh, and hike the frozen trails near Lake Champlain. Later, revised and semi-polished we share our work aloud. Selected reflections are often published in Community Works Journal Contact Us for information on upcoming Reflection Writing Retreat opportunities. We are pleased to be able to share this rich tapestry of teaching and learning experiences with you here.
