I have now taught for 8 years (as a second career) and am in the midst of a group of teachers who simply don't want to learn or consider change. How do you deal with this?

Since I moved to the university, I spend summers teaching. In the past 2 days I taught two classes that met 400 miles away from each other. I head back out for another 800 mile trip this weekend to teach another course. In between I do some workshops. <BR/><BR/>Once all this is done (July 2),Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-590444740864607060.post-30598992816614437472007-06-05T07:54:00.000-05:002007-06-05T07:54:00.000-05:00I will throw out everything I did this year and st...I will throw out everything I did this year and start over, like I always do.

I will also read at least three books that my students recommended from their own self-selected reading, so that I always have something to have a conversation about.
