Here are the videos we watched in class this week plus a few extra:
Taylor Mali -- Taylor Mali is a teacher and poet. Generally considered to be the most successful poetry slam strategist of all time, having led six of his seven national poetry slam teams to the finals stage and winning the championship itself a record four times before anyone had even tied him at three, Mali was one of the original poets to appear on the HBO original series "Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry."
Taylor's mission statement is, "I want to help reform education in America from top to bottom. I want to be part of the movement that makes an entire generation of college graduates consider teaching before business or law school. I want to help support responsible alternative paths to certification so as to make it easier for smart, successful, and qualified people in their 30s and older to become teachers. I want to get America ready for the Education Tax if it turns out that’s what we need. But most of all, I want to be a spokesman for teaching's nobility, one of the poets laureate of passion in the classroom." If you want a dose of inspiration to be the best teacher you can be head on over to his site.

Intro
Welcome to the class blog for "The Creative Process," Baker SPGS SOE Spring 2009.
Every week there will be several items posted. You are required to respond to the posted items. In addition you may respond to comments posted by classmates. Either a gmail or yahoo account is required to post comments. If you do not wish to use your existing account please create a new account and provide me with your tag name so that I will know that you are posting.
An acceptable and successful post will be more than one word and will be a formed and thoughtful response.
In addition to the the weekly posts I will also be adding lists and links that may be useful to you, first in your personal "creative" life, and second, in your life as an educator. I encourage you to forward websites, photos for posting, and other ideas to me so they can be shared with everyone.
