Student learning is no accident!
As a student, I always saw September as an opportunity to rewrite my story. I could make a good impression on my new teachers. I would keep better track of my materials and assignments and maybe even be one of those kids that seemed to “have it all together.” These days, I still find myself resolving to do better every… Read More
After hearing/ reading the unrelenting enthusiasm of my colleagues who have attended ‘edcamps’ and ‘unconferences,’ I determined I needed to experience this phenomenon for myself. Could it really be that everyone who attended these events got exactly what they wanted and more? People who had experienced unconference-style events reported feeling professionally satisfied, respected and invigorated. My attitude is generally pretty… Read More
For the last two years I have been welcomed into many classrooms as a coach, or as my favorite mentor Jan so accurately describes: a thought partner. When she used that language two years ago during our first New Teacher Center Mentor Academy, I had no idea just how connected I would feel to that phrase today. I have partnered… Read More
How do you capture all of the learning that occurs during discussions, hands-on exploration and collaborative group work? When there is a written product… we know we can collect and correct (ugh)… but that’s not always my first choice.

I’ve seen similar successes with… Read More

Can we be honest about this teaching from home while parenting thing for a minute?
Yes, I can capture beautiful moments with my phone. I am staying up way too late prepping like a first year preschool teacher to try to keep my guys engaged while I “teach” middle schoolers through my computer. (And BTW, preschool teachers- you ROCK!!!) But there are also some REALLY ridiculous moments too.
What happens when I jump into a Google Meet with my students?
Stuff like that first photo. And PS- doesn’t this kid know how precious toilet paper and tissue are right now?!?! I mean, COME ON!!!! A WHOLE box of tissue?!?! In like 30seconds! 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
Show me the ugly truth of your #homeschoolingwhileteaching journey please! I know I can’t be alone! Tag me in it and throw that #homeschoolingwhileteachg hashtag on it!
We can do this! Our students are so appreciative. They need us right now. (And so do our actual kids) So let’s just laugh a little while we do ALL THE THINGS🤪
