Maybe. http://wliwcelebration.org/blog/edblog/edblog-with-certainty-maybe/22/ http://wliwcelebration.org/blog/edblog/edblog-with-certainty-maybe/22/#comments Wed, 20 Feb 2008 20:15:25 +0000 santalone http://www.thirteencelebration.org/edblog/?p=21 As I write this, there are 22 days until the Celebration of Teaching and Learning; too early to be sure about what my presentation will include. Nonetheless, here’s some of what I think I’ll be talking about: Magic; Defiance; Common Sense; Expectations; Failing; Accessibility; Technology.

And a jazz musician named Johnny. And a student named Connor. And lessons from a discotheque in Sweden.

Not necessarily in that order.

But with the conference still several weeks away, certainly all of this could change. Don’t hold me to it.

What won’t change, however, is my focus throughout on kids and adults with disabilities or with chronic illness. And about how these individuals are increasingly making their way in a world that remains mostly unprepared for them. And too often uncomfortable around them.

I won’t lecture. I won’t harangue. And I won’t sermonize.

I’ll simply tell stories. From a place I’ve come to call DisabilityLand. It’s where almost everything that matters to me has occurred.
