v Connections:  Healing Spirit, Land and Community v

There are four of us in this work of love, Emily Sendin, Max Couper, Penny Roache, and myself.  Our effort involves a learning community of ESL and college level writing students.  We meet eight times per semester and discuss what it means to be a human being living in a sacred place.

v South Florida Identityv

This is a beginning of a longer project to collect oral histories in the South Florida area.  The idea is to document what is now present in the voices of the people in the region.  Students will have an opportunity to develop their listening and writing skills as they work on the interviews and transcriptions.

vService-Learningv 

The best type of learning is dynamic and engaged.  I've worked with the Center for Community Involvement for a number of years.  Service-learning is a key component to what I do as a teacher.

vSlime Mold Inventoryv

In June 2005, I took part in an EPA sponsored workshop in Great Smoky Mountain National Park to learn about and participate in a National Science Foundation project  called the Planetary Biodiversity Inventory (PBI) that will help study worldwide distribution of slime molds.  Miami-Dade College will have a small part in this project by helping to inventory slime molds in Everglades Natinal Park and other South Florida locations.
