Something you’ll learn about me is that when I get an idea I run with it. Often the cart is leading the horse though. I mean the cart is at least one light year ahead of the horse.

However this ambition has always served me well. I get the end goal in mind then I back up and figure out how to get there. And with shear stubbornness I’ll get there.

When I realized I wanted to become a teacher the first thing I did was create a syllabus. Now I didn’t reinvent the telescope or anything. The lesson topics themselves are straight from Google, but it was the process that served me as a starting point. The process of formatting, figuring out grade distribution, and what all goes in to a syllabus anyways!?

From there I backed up and figured out what it takes to become a teacher in my home state, and that’s what I’m doing now. But until then… please enjoy the first ever attempt at an astronomy 101 syllabus from Dicy Adams!
