STUDENT WORK SAMPLES
All student work posted with permission; authors are noted and retain the rights to their work.
Whenever possible, I ask for flexibility and creativity in work samples. While I do assign papers from time to time, and accept papers when writing is my students' preferred expression style, or perhaps their comfort zone, I relish the creative products that I have the pleasure to read, watch, listen to, and/or experience.
Some assignments are already published to the web by the students; for these, I have shared links to their sites.
On some assignments, I may ask for a blanket "please indicate whether or not you give permission to post", such as assigned podcasts. Other times, I ask students individually for their permission to share their work on this site- and with a broader audience. Posted work is with the student/author's permission, and they retain the ownership of their work.
Assignments submitted as podcasts with approval for public upload.
Some podcasts are in the media player below.

SYNTHESIS PROJECT
In this project, students were asked to take their understandings from the entire course and put theory into practice. In a product of their choice, students aligned organization, motivation and the classroom environment (management) to NC Professional Standard #2 with their classroom plans for next year.
