Using Online Textbooks
I am pretty excited about today's guest speaker - my husband Andrew! He teaches junior high and high school Social Studies at the same school district I work for. We've been here three full years now, and he LOVES that they have fully embraced technology by going with 1:1 ipads at his end of the building. (Yes, you read that correctly - our entire K-12 is in one building...well, most of them. We have two elementary schools.) Anyway, he's going to … [Read more...] about Using Online Textbooks
Teaching is a Journey: And Every Journey Looks Different
Teaching is a journey. I've known this to be true for a long time, but that truth hit even closer to home recently. My best friend and I started teaching around the same time frame. I've always known she was a good teacher, but I'm not sure she always believes in herself. I, on the other hand, have always felt like teaching came naturally. Please stop comparing yourself to other teachers. We are all at our own place on this teaching journey. … [Read more...] about Teaching is a Journey: And Every Journey Looks Different

During my first year as a public school administrator, I learned many things about myself. I decided to share what I … [Read more...] about What Being an Administrator Meant to Me
Parent and Family Communication Log
Keeping in touch with parents is so important! I always keep a communication log for every time I contact home. One school required this as part of our Title I services, but I also just find it's a good habit to get into. Student documentation is vitally important, and parents love to know what is going on with their child! Reason #1 is because it lets me see which parents I need to get in touch with if I haven't had contact in awhile. … [Read more...] about Parent and Family Communication Log
Creating Tolerance in the Classroom
This past year my co-teacher did an awesome activity using sign language at the end of the school year. However, I thought the lesson could be one that might be more fitting at the beginning of the year. It's a great way for creating tolerance in the classroom. The lesson is pretty easy to do.

Or give each student … [Read more...] about Creating Tolerance in the Classroom
