Something I have always struggled with is the way that my own pie-in-the-sky huge teaching ideas don’t always play out in real life the way they worked in my head. I start the year with these awesome summertime ideas that are going to be SO transformative, and then I get back to school in the…
I have NINE school days left before Spring Break, and I know many of you have 15 days left to go! These are trying times in the life of a teacher! We can do this! I am giving a test in Spanish 2 this Thursday, and then I have 5 school days to inspire those…
by Betsy Ording and Kristy Placido At first glance, merit pay for teachers and “performance-based layoffs” sound good. Usually the general public and lawmakers are drawn to these ideas. Why not reward employees for a job well done, and when layoffs are necessary, why risk laying off “the best” teachers? But with any amount of…
This week I read the book Teach Like a Pirate by Dave Burgess. So, I know it was a great book because it got me thinking and has KEPT me thinking! Today, as I was following one of my passions (puttering around aimlessly among the living things in my yard) I was really thinking about…
I wanted to leave a comment here: http://mrschultsocialstudies.wordpress.com/2013/05/21/worksheets-on-worksheets-on-worksheets/ but it turned into a blog post of its own! First of all, for the most part I agree with Mr. Schult! Students should be interacting, problem solving, creatively thinking, and using technology! But there are a few points I’d like to make. 1.

So, this blog post has been running through my head for a few weeks now, ever since I attended my very first EdCamp in Detroit. I tweeted a little bit about it, but I felt I needed to put my thoughts in writing. Sometimes I am not exactly sure how I feel about something until…
This is such a great question! When you first start TPRS, it is such a high! The kids like it, they participate, you feel like you are entertaining them, it is great! But then…one day…you fall so completely on your face that you can’t even remember what you did the other times that made it…
Tomorrow begins the first day of second semester and also the first day of my intern teacher’s 10 week lead teach. I have every confidence in her, but I also remember how nervous I felt 16 years ago when i was in her shoes! I just want to do justice to such a promising young…
Do you ever feel like you could be a really amazing teacher if only you had the time? I feel pretty good in general, but I always feel like I am playing catchup. If things are going well at school, all it takes is a discipline issue to subvert the hard work I’ve done. Or…
Spanish Village is a long-time tradition in my school. I teach at my alma mater, and I’ll just say that when I was a freshman in 1989 the activity seemed to have already been done many times! In May of each year, we celebrate the culmination of another year of Spanish study with a day…
