		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve recently started playing soccer again after a fourteen-year hiatus. It&#8217;s ridiculously hard: My feet don&#8217;t always remember the right way to dribble, the right way to pass, or the right way to trap. Sometimes my legs work and my head doesn&#8217;t; other times, the head works and the feet don&#8217;t. Sometimes neither work&#8230;and then [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=melissagibson.wordpress.com&amp;blog=6269954&amp;post=86&amp;subd=melissagibson&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot lately about student-centered pedagogy. This is a phrase that gets thrown out a lot by progressive educators, a phrase intended to invoke equality, culturally relevant teaching, social justice, funds of knowledge, humanizing pedagogies&#8211;you name it.
