My newest novel: Historical fiction, Long Lost Justice

Available now

$5.00, Kindle only for now

A sixty-year-old hate crime refuses to be buried. 

From betareader: 

Barbara Graham Tucker has outdone herself with her new novel Long Lost Justice.

She does what every writer aspires to- makes her readers want to keep reading. You cannot wait for the next chapter. You care deeply about the story and the characters. It is her best work to date. You will be both happy and sad: happy that you read Long Lost Justice, and sad that Barbara Tucker’s next book is not out yet.    Jerry Drye

Reflecting on Reflection in Learning

Reflection is the subject of my next couple of presentations, so here are my recent jottings. Hopefully a reader can make some sense of them;however, the whole point of this post is that reflection can follow a structure but will not necessarily create a structured record. The reflection record will need to be reshaped to be palatable for a "judge" or "critic" or "instructor." Reflection tends to be framed negatively. If we dig too deep we will only find bad stuff; if we reflect on teaching practice, we will focus on what failed rather than succeeded. Why?

It is most close to critical thinking—testing it against other knowledge, theories, internal consistency, other data (other learner’s data) Ref...

One boy in the back of the room said, "I know that's true because I'm autistic and .... " That's one of those "moments of truth." I often do not handle them well, but this one I did. Since the young man had not done anything that indicated autism to me (other than being nerdy), after he talked about himself I said, "Do you have Asperger's?" to which he said, "Yes, and ADD." Another young man in the class was giving me signals that he was in the same boat. There is something ironic and yet appropriate about this incident--only a student with Asperger's or Austism Spectrum Disorder would just announce it so boldly in class. ...

First Generation Students: Be aware

 I confess to not having blogged here for quite a while.  I will be in the future--I'm doing some relevant writing. My current research interest is gratitude, in general, in communication, in spiritual development, and in higher education. Although not quite linked to that, this article is thoughtful and reminds us of "the secret life of college students." https://diverseeducation.com/article/138698/?utm_campaign=DIV1902%20DAILY%20NEWSLETTER%20FEB15&utm_medium=email&utm_source=Eloqua
