Welcome...

A Smart Place to Stop started as a reflection on teaching written by two middle school teachers in New York City. We used this blog as a model for our students as they began their blog experiments.

It is now attempting to be something a little more and a little less. Let us know what you think.

About Us

Michael Locker has taught in New York City for six years, all of them at UNMS. He co-leads student groups with Reena and then has spare time, which he spends organizing various things and making lists.
