A reintroduction!

 I'm Max Thiede. I currently teach 7th grade English at Atlas Preparatory Academy and help run UWM-led youth film workshop Milwaukee Visionaries Project. I've taught both for 4 years. I graduated from UWM with a bachelors in English Ed, but now I'm working on a master’s degree in curriculum and instruction, examining how physical and digital structures influence learners. When not working or studying, I like to volunteer with local organizations including Draw Write Here, Voces De La Frontera, and the MTEA. I also love fish and have 2 aquariums! 

One blog that I recommend everyone check out it Cult of Pedagogy! Started by Jennifer Gonzalez, it has tips on everything, and I mean everything. While some of her posts are clearly her being a corporate shill, there's very few quality education blogs that aren't sellouts. 

One website that I recommend everyone check out is Teaching Tolerance! A project made by the SPLC, Teaching Tolerance has a lot of great theory and some decent resources about teaching in the classroom. See my collage below.

I'm very excited to meet everyone and look forward to more interacting!
