Student learning is no accident!
Sometimes we all just need a classroom reset. Do you want your students to behave or do you want more than that? If you spend all day managing behaviors, you are EXHAUSTED by 3:00. I know!!! I’ve been there. It takes so much mental energy, so much executive functioning to anticipate every fire that might start- and to put out… Read More
You finally have your own classroom!!! No more shuffling around on a cart, lugging your whole life with you every period of the day… no more “borrowing” other teachers’ classrooms and hoping you left them as neat as you found them. Make it the classroom of your dreams!!! Now What Now, you’re ready to make this new space work for… Read More
The view from down here. “It all falls on the classroom teacher, it always does” she reminded me. This was my mother. A retired elementary school teacher, who had made it the long haul. In the classroom for her entire career, advocating for kids, mentoring new teachers- reminding me when I express frustration in the system that, I shouldn’t be… Read More
One of my biggest take aways from a New Teacher Center Mentor Academy last year was, “the ones who are doing the talking are doing the learning.” The focus of that academy was Coaching for Equity, and we spent time thinking about Conditions that Support Students with Exceptionalities. Early on in that academy, one of my amazing colleagues suggested that… Read More
Dear Teachers, This morning I reflected once again, on the important roles we all play in the lives of so many children. This past week was an emotional roller coaster for so many of us. Glued to the news, many of us saw images and scenes play out that seemed more like clips from a film (set anywhere but here)… Read More
What better way to develop an Environment of Respect and Rapport than by developing a 1:1 relationship with each student??Watch Rick connect with students about their reading during conferences. What does he do/ say that develops an environment of respect and rapport? What does Rick communicate to his students with his verbal and non-verbal language? I’ve seen similar successes with… Read More

Let's Talk About Sleep So many of us suffer from back to school dreams and sleepless nights prior to the start of school each year. If...Happy First Day to Me!!!
I met some of my new students via Google Meet. We had a school wide assembly that way too. It was W E I R D- but also somehow familiar and comforting. I was excited to welcome fifth graders to their first year of middle school!
These kids are going to have a great year- and I am really looking forward to teaching such small groups... could it be that maybe THIS is the year we prove that class size makes a big difference??

Please... please come right in!!
You have SO many fabulous ideas- it sounds like *maybe* you’d be great at this job.
So come on over. Really! Turns out, we don’t have a SINGLE person signed up to sub this year. You’d be perfect!!
It pays $90/ day... but honestly it’s NOT about the money. I mean, you said it- “teachers have to LOVE the work.” And, who doesn’t LOVE a full day of 12year olds? Amiright?!?!
You’ll want to bring a few masks... because it gets hot and there’s no A/C... and the doors have to stay shut and locked (for fire code). And bring sanitizer to be safe, because the teacher’s bathroom (with the good sink) is upstairs on the other side of the building, and you really can’t make it there AND back during passing- but you can totally get there after school or on lunch! But, if you want to eat, just bring something you eat with a fork, so you don’t have to wash your hands! There isn’t time for both.
So excited for you to join us!! I’ve been dying for a chance to learn from you. I’ve been dreaming of this since you started ranting about how easy teachers have it! FINALLY, you can show us how to do our jobs better, Nancy Know It All!
