More about the blog

FYI the audience for this blog is the teachers at CIS303 in the Bronx and Evergreen 562 in Brooklyn . Nell Sharff-Panero from Baruch College is also part of group.

If you'd like to start a convo on a new topic please write a comment  or question to this effect and I can start a new thread . 

I have just left New Dorp High School  where I attended a training on revision, one I missed last month ; it was brilliant - and apropos where we are heading very soon . I'll be sharing some of this later; right now I'm heading out for a paddle around the western side of Staten Island. Woot! 

Welcome

As we move on in the year, it has become apparent that there are many conversations to be had. So often when I speak with you,  I find myself wishing I could share the conversations with everyone. Sometimes I want to share insights, and other times I need to talk over some finer points that have arisen during our conversations. Often people have questions or news that they want to share. Hence this blog. The title is Hochman 865 and there is a prize (seriously- [I know how competitive most of you guys are]) for the first person who posts the correct reason for my choice of title.

I'd appreciate it if you could all sign up as followers and set your settings to receive posts regularly. It is of course, your comments that are needed as it is my hope that this blog will enable ongoing dialogue.
