Amongst the Gulch of Tucker in Helena Montana time slowed down, and what is important moved in. Grad school thus far has been an emotional rollercoaster, one that is testing me while it single handedly reconstructs my ideas of knowledge and ultimately what learning is. "To name it, is to make it less," and in a way this is what I feel in my heart as we attempt to name learning. This philosophical question will not be answered anytime soon, but it will inform my practice as a teacher, in how I view learning to occur inside myself and with my students.

My goal is to use this blog to put forth, once a week, my ideas, thoughts, or random chaos as a way to record this rethinking process. This is a beautiful place to be and I am blessed to have the opportunity to even enter into this journey, physically, mentally and spiritually.
