A New School Year (2021-2022)!

27 Aug

The start of our fourth year at the American International School of Lusaka (AISL) has gone really well. As we wrap up the final days of August, all grades are back to on-campus learning and most students are back in Zambia. I am teaching grade 8/Year 3 MYP Language and Literature, Grade 9/Year 4 MYP Individuals and Societies and also providing English (English as an Additional Language/EAL) support in the secondary school. Flor continues to teach MYP/DP Spanish and Maya enters 10th grade. My goal continues to be the share ideas, learning, and reflections on teaching, as well as photos from life in Zambia and (hopefully) travels. Have a good year, and do stay in touch.

What is Movember?

20 Nov

“Men’s health is in crisis. Men are dying on average 6 years earlier than women, and for largely preventable reasons. Unchecked, prostate cancer rates will double over the next 15 years. Testicular cancer rates have already doubled in the last 50. And across the world, one man dies by suicide every minute of every day, with males accounting for 75% of all suicides.” – Movember

A group teachers, administrators, and parents at the American International School of Lusaka (Zambia) are growing moustaches and raising money and awareness for men’s health issues. Please see my profile page and story on this LINK. I am seeking support this month and have nine days left to raise money for our fundraiser. Our team, the Lusaka League of Extraordinary Moustaches appreciates your support. Check out these links to learn more about Movember.
