Lisa Harrison writes: I've been teaching at the University of Chicago Laboratory Schools for 10 years. I collaborate with a wonderful assistant teacher, Pamela Maxey. My students keep my on my toes with their insatiable curiosity and thoughtful questions. From these questions, the curriculum emerges. It changes from year to year, lesson to lesson.

As teachers, we don't have to reinvent the wheel. This site documents the projects I'm most proud of, as well as other "works in progess." I will also share teaching ideas, resources, tools, and other things that have given me inspiration and help with curriculum development.
