• Basically, the Intellectual History refers to the major ideas and influences that have contributed to who you are today as a teacher. This involves thinking deeply and individually about your own stories of who you are, pivotal people, events, places that significantly influence what you do, why you do it and how you teach and learn with your students. The SEPTA train map is a metaphor to help you think about your storied and journeyed professional life and the significant stops/highlights/you have made along that influence the you you  are today.
