My name is Tomokazu (Tetsu) Morikawa, currently teaching Japanese at George Washington High School in San Francisco CA. I've been teaching over 20 years. Some people may say that I am a veteran teacher, but I've never felt that way. I always get a bit nervous at the beginning of each school year, and another school year (2015-16) just started a week ago. I am already busy with my daily operations for my class. So why am I starting my blog now?
I sat up my goals for this school year. One of them is "share! share! share!" So I determined that I will record and share all the processes of my teaching make-over projects.
Like many other teachers, I've noticed that our society's youth has changed, and I felt that I am in need of changing the way I teach also, so last year I decided to make over everything I do for my students. Yes, everything I do for my teaching.
- my classroom & class management
- my curriculum
- assessments for student achievement
The activities that I've done so far will be posted retrospectively! (coming!)
Arigato!

はじめまして。森川知計 (ともかず)と言います。こんにちは！
サンフランシスコで教え始めて２０数年、現在ワシントン高校で教えています。
この数年、学生の意識の違いやテクノロジーの普及による勉強方法の違い等、色々と考えさせられる事が多く、去年、真新しい教師一年生の気分で、全面改装で勝負しようと決めました。クラス環境、クラス運営、カリキュラム、アセスメントも今まで作ったものにとらわれないように、ぜーんぶコンピュータに入っているものは消去し、一からのスタートです。ここで、今まで、そしてこれからの経過をシェアをさせていただき、自分も一年・二年後にはちょっと成長できればと願っております。
色々なコメントよろしくお願いします。
