Grades are very important–to both high school students and teachers–as important vehicles for feedback, motivation, and recognition.

Rather, Marcus makes the argument in this episode that reflecting on how we have previously changed as teachers can allow us to remain humble in the present moment and also open-minded towards different perspectives and future growth.

Že pri rosnih 4ih letih se je začel ukvarjati s tenisom, ki ga je treniral do svojega 20 leta. Bil je tudi večkratni državni prvak. Pri 16 letih se je tako prvič srečal tudi s športnimi stavami. Vse se je začelo nedolžno in samo za zabavo. Ker pa v vseh stvareh, ki jih počne želi biti najboljši, se je tudi v to malo bolj poglobil. Nažalost se je to kasneje izkazalo kot usodno zanj, in je zaznamovalo naslednjih 10 let njegovega življenja. Tako je kmalu zapadel v o...

The Broken CopierKTC #6: Thoughts on Saying "No" as a TeacherThis sixth episode of “Kicking the Copier” is a reflection on how teachers so often are asked to do things beyond the basic responsibilities of their classroom—and how “saying no” to these above-and-beyond requests can be really challenging. Still, being intentional and confident in when and why to say “no”? That can be an underrated, important factor in a sustainable, positive teaching career. In this episode, Marcus offers his thoughts on why. As always, thanks to: Alberto Lugo, one of Jim’s former students, for writing and recording original intro music; Tom Csatari for allowing us to us...

The Broken CopierHow should we talk about college?It’s time to write recommendation letters again, which any teacher of seniors will tell you is the spookiest part of the entire season. As our students have an eye on all these college applications, we’ve seen a lot of different stories floating around about the value of college. Some of the more disingenuous politicians take pleasure in attacking the mere idea of college for political gain, throwing wrenches into an already complicated system that they don’t understand. On the other hand, there is some very compelling reporting about the changing attitudes we (Americans) have about college. We thi...

To ga je prisililo, da se je začel intenzivno poglabljati v vzroke in s pomočjo mnogih izkustvenih delavnic, vezanih na dihanje, obrnil nov list v svojem življenju. Sedaj deluje na področju razvoja osebnih potencialov in mnogim uspešnim podjetjem in posameznikom pomaga do aktivne sproščenosti, "high performansa" in ravnovesja.Pred nekaj tedni je izšel tudi njegov knjižni prvenec Začni s...
