You mentioned the challenge you’re having balancing being a good parent and a good teacher; likewise, you spoke to the ongoing changes that have taken place in your classroom through the implementation of PBL. I wonder if there are opportunities for…Read more

Now that everyone was remote, I sometimes found myself asking questions and getting no responses. The silence was intimidating at the beginning. How long should I wait for any…Read more

Throw a pandemic into the mix and I am even more imprerssed. “Creating an inclusive classroom” is something I think all teachers try and do naturally but as you mention in your video needs to done intentionally with the…Read more

It’s always incredible to connect and see tangible practices in action. I wonder about how your advisee is finding ways to support these emotions and their temper.

I know that for me, running has taken on a different meaning and purpose because there are no upcoming events, and like you, I took up Triathlons later in life, and love the learning that comes with this relatively new experience.

I’m trying hard to live this idea you raise to approach each day “with flexibility and forgiveness in mind.” I wonder how other teachers are bringing this powerful concept to life.
