Innovative Educators  I made my classroom look like the real world…and test scores soared. Anthony Johnson is an elementary school teacher in North Carolina and a TED-Ed Innovative Educator. Below, he describes his innovative classroom structure: “Johnsonville.” Think about the jobs in today’s economy — the ones we’re supposed to prepare students for after graduation. Are employees evaluated using bubble-in tests to prove they know the ins and outs of their job? Do they learn and use new skills one at a time in a vacuum?

_*I am a wreck.The situation that seems impossible.The finances that never balance.The hope so deferred it makes your heart sick.The anxiety over your forthcoming exams.The course you’re sick of.The broken promises from a friend.The lack of true friends.The constant messiness always distracting from the peace you want in your life.The impatience and frustration, anger and disappointment of losing it — again.If only we knew how deeply Jesus understands and cares for us. If only we could see the wonder of His love. The skies He paints, the flowers He blooms, the world He arranges just for us. The love letters He’s written to us throughout the Bible.These are all mercies from Him.*_
