Not So Perfect, Martha Stewart, Jennifer Cramer-Miller

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

A split second before my daughter flew home for Christmas, she called to exclaim, "Let's make the pies!" I paused. I'd planned to dole out that assignment to a family member. My tight choreography to execute the perfect Christmas feast did not factor pies into the agenda. Throwing organization to the wind, I replied with can-do enthusiasm, "Let's!" And then I turned to you, Martha.

Seeing The Global Physical Context Of Wholeness, Hamid Rafizadeh

Learning Teaching Forum

Kennedy Union 311

The pursuit of the whole person through models like 3H (head, heart, hands) my miss a critical physical aspect within which the wholeness develops and exists. One such aspect originates at the earth’s two versions. Humankind has a good understanding of one version and little if any of the second. Such lack of knowledge would adversely affect the development and maintenance of human wholeness. This proposal considers a workshop at the 2020 Learning and Teaching Forum to address this knowledge deficiency in University of Dayton’s community through participative knowledge processing and systems thinking.

Kennedy Union 211

Majors level Human Anatomy has long been taught as a gatekeeping class for medical schools of graduate schools, and has been highly professionalized due to this. It has also been constructed historically in a very hierarchical paradigm that has multiple oppressions supporting both the study of anatomy and the anatomy classroom. Besides these social issues around anatomy, there are the pedagogical issues of treating this material as something to just memorize and not understand that can cause problems for a student of anatomy. Disrupting these processes can be a very powerful force for anti-racism, anti-sexism, and hopefully …

Cross boundary and collaborative education have existed in the past. The University of Dayton’s attempt to reignite these concepts of education is in line with its Catholic Marianist identity.

Was That A Nuclear Event, Or A Hot Flash?, Wendy Parker

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

Our bed has a smoldering pile of blankets in the middle of it. It serves as a burn barrier for the innocents who don't teeter on the verge of spontaneous combustion at least three times a night. Namely, my husband and the cats. After several months of menopausal volcanic flashes of heat that somehow erupt from my body without vaporizing everything in the general vicinity, they've all become used to interrupted sleep. When I leap out of bed screaming to shed my clothes, it's no longer foreplay; it's survival.

A Letter To My Middle School Son, Valli Gideons

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

As you navigate middle school, I have a few things I'd like you to know: Not everyone will get you. Be patient. You will continue to find your people. Even if you aren't a natural athlete, GRIT will be the characteristic that separates you. When you run, you have an angel on your shoulder. Friends aren't meant to be collected. Good ones last a lifetime. Wear deodorant.

Sock Solutions That Bedazzle, Theresa Boedeker

Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop Blog

My husband wanders into the kitchen. "Notice anything?" he asks. I glance up from the myriad of morning chores I am multi-tasking. He is dressed for work. Pants belted. Fly zippered. Dress shirt buttoned. Hair combed. Nothing seems amiss. Nothing pops out, screaming for attention. "Not a thing," I say. He humps. "What about my socks?" My eyes travel to the floor. His left big toe is poking through a practically new black dress sock.
