Chick Moorman and Thomas Haller's Articles in Education

  • A Defining Moment
    In Anchorage, Alaska, a first-year teacher made a spelling error on the board during the first week of school. As often happens in these kinds of situations, a well-intentioned student politely pointed out the mistake. At the moment, the rookie educator probably didn’t realize that this event firmly connected her to all teachers everywhere.
  • The Art of Language
    The words charmed life, lucked out, fortunately, and right place at the right time that appear in the opening paragraph are not part of Sean’s vocabulary. Nor does he use good fortune, chance, magic, or coincidence. According to Sean Tucker, these words “embellish the myth that luck exists and is at work in our lives.” Assigning the success of his job hunt to luck would be disowning the part he played in that success. It would be giving up personal responsibility and giving it to something else: in this case, “luck.”
