I heard an interview on NPR with an educator in rural Kenya, I think. It was a breakdown-freakout-deadline-due-procrastinate-anyway-and-end-up-doing-nothing day. I regret not paying closer attention, but I will never forget what she said when the NPR reporter asked her how she did all she did with what little she had to do it with. "Every action I take, every decision I make, must serve the mission." She was this bad-ass traveling educator who went from community to community, empowering voices and spreading access.
Dynamic, Organic Curricula & Instruction for Dynamic, Organic Learners!
Michelle wrote a Scholarly book chapter for an academic anthology, Making A Spectacle: Examining Curriculum/Pedagogy as Recovery from Political Trauma (Curriculum and Pedagogy), but felt she needed help on it before submitting it to the editors. We met through our doctoral courses at USF, Tampa, fast becoming friends and academic colleagues and over the years have worked on several conference presentations and symposium film productions together, so she knew well my areas of expertise and called me. We worked for several Saturdays doing a line-by-line editorial review and revision of her chapter with me merely asking the questions and instructing on powerful writing techniques and her doing all of the revision work. She sent me this video testimonial as a thank you after her chapter was accepted with only minor adjustments.
“For me, teaching is a passion. Passion for learning, passion for growing, and passion for progress. This training restored my passion for viewing the world through a child’s lens and taught me how to share my findings in a meaningful way. Trace Taylor knows how to deliver the best training ever!”

“I love ALL “chapters” of teaching, but am especially fond of reading and writing. My true joy of being a teacher is being able to share my love of learning with students and help create a positive mindset when it comes to education. This workshop is one of the most interesting and FUN workshops that I’ve ever attended. From start to finish, it was engaging and inspiring!”

“For more than thirty-five years the teaching of writing has been more than my daily work; it has been my life’s passion. My goal has always been to help teachers and students learn what it means to be not just a good writer or a better writer, but most importantly, what it means to be a deliberate writer. They cannot be deliberate without being taught the writing tools needed to accomplish that objective. This workshop accomplished that and so much more in a single Saturday. It is one of the most effective and enjoyable trainings I’ve ever attended.”
