I wrote this blog to document my transformative experiences as a teacher at the Albany Free School from September 2012 to June 2013.
Now that I am working full time on building the Chicago Free School, I just wanted to leave a note here to clarify the place and time that I was writing these things.
My identity as a democratic educator continues to grow and evolve. Many of the questions I had while I taught in Albany have informed our planning for the Chicago Free School, but the further I get from my old traditional-teacher self, the better and more comfortable I feel.
