The Edu-Sage's Companion. The Danger of a Single Edu-Story. This blog was first posted for Blue Jersey. On Monday, September 29, 2014. Of the teaching force. Now, black teachers make up about six percent. How can that be? Well, systemic racism is the short answer. The long answer? Well, systemic racism. Where are their voices in this? And why didn’t anyone question this while they were there meeting with the first Latinx president of the NEA? The thing about inviting a diverse group of people to the tabl...

Parents’ Bill of Rights: Taking back our POWER | The Edu-Sage's Companion
https://okaikor.wordpress.com/2015/01/27/parents-bill-of-rights-taking-back-our-power
The Edu-Sage's Companion. Parents’ Bill of Rights: Taking back our POWER. I was introduced to the scripted curricula Success For All. Anytime Newark adopted some absurd efficiency model, like attaching standards to bulletin boards or using scripted curricula, we would jokingly wait in anticipation for it to reach Jersey City (my former district). And it always did. And where does that leave us? Well, quite frankly, New Jersey parents and taxpayers have had enough of the stress, and punishments their chil...

https://okaikor.wordpress.com/2015/01/22/hooray-for-global-school-play-day
The Edu-Sage's Companion. Hooray for Global School Play Day! You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation. This weekend was an interesting one for me and my daughter Saige. I’d say it was especially exciting for her because she was so amazed by all the people who showed her so much love after having her testimony. Sigh I never understood that. In fact, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child cites play as a basic human right. So is it abu...They ...

Accept who you are; and revel in it. Mitch Albom, Tuesdays With Morrie. Swinging on the Porch. Considering myself a WRITER is the most important thing I’ve gained from the LMWP institute. I enjoyed writing before and loved the tiny treasures I uncovered off the cuff through my everyday writing (emails, facebook, and responding to student writing). But this institute helped me realize that every life is rife with treasures. I CAN’T WAIT to help my students discover theirs! This is going to suck! By week t...
