Firing up the blog again

I look at the dates of my previous posts and it's clear that I've been slacking on the blogging this past year. (More of a slogger than a blogger.) I'm back because, as my teacher-preparation coursework and fieldwork intensifies, I need a place to rest and reflect. It's a little too heavy for Facebook.

To mark this milestone, the blog name changeth once again. I'm still not happy with it, but at least it states my purpose in entering this profession. That purpose is simply to have a purpose. In other words, I want everything my students and I do in the classroom to be relevant - and for each of us to be able to articulate why it's relevant.

This is not as easy as it looks.
