Based upon a lifetime spent in the classroom, teaching students of all ages, I believe that I have more than a few words of advice for those following in my footsteps. Being a classroom teacher, an educator, of so many, has been the greatest privilege but it took me an entire career to become a master of my craft. Now I want to offer a Master Class in teaching to others, focussing on the issues of today. I invite you to follow up listening to me by emailing ifou ever have any questions. It would be my pleasure.

From my earliest days as a classroom teacher, I tried to use elements of popular culture to reach and to teach my students. I admit to not being very good at it at the beginning, but over time I learned how to stay in tune with my students by staying in tune with what they were interested in. I used popular music, sports, movies, books to help me. Today, it is so much easier because we can use Google to help us gather information and then figure out how to capture the moment and teach essential skills using those interests. It doesn't matter what the tool is that we use. The important thing is figuring out how to use that stimulus to induce the learning of basic skills.
