# Making Education Really Count I'm working on my doctorate at the [University of Missouri - St. Louis](https://www.umsl.edu/degrees/doctorate/edd-educational-practice.html). One of the things that I hate about Education is having our audience for whatever we create be our professor or teacher. So I am creating this site to house all the content I create for someone besides my professor. I want my work to be out there. Even if nobody reads it, publishing it makes it real for me. Much of this is as disorganized as my mind. But I still think it is important to share it. I'll update this as time goes on. You'll find several different types of writing here. ## Notes These are files where I'm taking notes during class. Bulleted lists. Little organization. This is super messy. It's going to be random, but hopefully some organization will emerge over time. ## Readings These are my notes from readings. I take my notes while reading in [Readwise Reader](https://readwise.io/i/jethro20), almost exclusively. I like reading it there because it allows me to read all my stuff in the same place, and then it imports all my notes automatically into Obsidian, which is where I write ALL my notes! ## Assignments These are all my assignments for my classes. Originally, I thought that I would just publish these, but I decided that it would be more beneficial to share the messy stuff as well. ## Broken Links If you run into a broken link, it's likely because that link is going to another note, but it isn't published. That's probably intentional. For example, I take notes on people that I work with, to remind me of what we talk about, what we are focused on, and as a way to keep track of where I'm going with them. I don't publish those. ## Course Schedule ### Summer 2023 - [[EDUC 7600]] Learning Community of Practice I Topic: Building Community ### Fall 2023 - [[EDUC 7610]] Learning Community of Practice II Topic: Citizenship and Civility ### Spring 2024 - [[EDUC 7620]] Learning Community of Practice III Topic: PRiMED/Character Education - [[EDUC 7710]] Research Methods & Design for Educational Practitioners ### Summer 2024 - [[EDUC 7630 Notes]] Learning Community of Practice IV Topic: Social Justice/Democracy in Schools - [[educ7325 - Grant Writing]] Grant Writing for Educational Practitioners - Independent Study ### Fall 2024 - [[EDUC 7640]] Learning Community of Practice V Topic: Leadership for Social Emotional Learning - [[ED REM 7781]] Qualitative Methods in Education Research I ### Spring 2025 - [[EDUC 7650]] Learning Community of Practice VI Topic: Servant Leadership & Service Learning - [[EDUC 7215]] Data Analysis for Educational Practitioners ### Summer 2025 - [[EDUC 7660]] Learning Community of Practice VII - [[EDUC 7395]] Academic Writing for Educational Practitioners ### Fall 2025 - Spring 2026 - Summer 2026 - [[EDUC 7998]] Dissertation in Practice
