Are we asking too much? Who’s getting Shortchanged?

November 1, 2012

What would parents think if they knew? I find that the majority of first year teachers I support teach in multi-age, self-contained special education classrooms.

Do you think ... read more

My Territories

August 21, 2012

I was first introduced to the idea of a writer's notebook by my tenth grade English teacher, Mrs. Catamaro. I loved that notebook! My notebook helped me see who I was as a writer, and focus on the writer I wanted to become. It met my needs as a learner the way nothing before had. I was impulsive and unfocused, and in my writer's notebook ... read more

Welcome!

August 8, 2012

I am an educator, a dancer, an over-thinker, a dog lover, a writer and a pasta addict. This blog will be dedicated to education... mostly. Since I became involved in my school district's initiatives around topics like co-teaching and standards based reporting, my wheels have been in a constant state of motion.

❤️❤️❤️What are YOU reading aloud?!?!It has been raining here for the last few days. Every time I look out the window, I think of a teacher I talked to when I was in South Dakota last month.I was signing books for her classroom. We were talking about the magic of reading aloud and the teacher said, “These kids are so thirsty for story. I look out at their faces and they are like beautiful flowers, drinking it in.”We have been in a drought here and that image resonated with me so deeply.To all you teachers (and librarians and parents and grandparents) who are reading aloud—thank you. You are slaking a thirst, watering hearts, nourishing minds. ... See MoreSee Less
