I’m totally aware that I’m not a good juggler. If I’d been able to keep 3 blogs moving while marketing my debut novel, 84Ribbons, this site would have remained active. But it didn’t and I apologize. Now I’m back and I’m completing my Educating America Workbook for teachers who are considering inviting volunteers into their days in their classrooms. I’ve reorganized my time to write an education-based blog every Sunday and hope for your continued support.
So much is happening in education beyond summer hiatus in many places. It’s good to have time for rest, renewal and reinvention whenever it fits into your school or home vacations as we consider the ever-increasing pile of tasks assigned to teachers. Now is my time to return to writing about education and kids and families. I want to support all of the people involved as we work to improve student achievement. My ‘prime directive’ is to continue to write, talk about, and work in classrooms. It’s something I’ve valued since before I began teaching. So what can you expect from me as I return to write about this first love?
You can expect:
classroom tips for working with assistants
management and creative classrooms ideas
student organization and subject-matter suggestions
ideas for enhancing CCSS
support information for families
ideas for improving the home-school connection
fun ways to explore our world
Please send me your ideas, questions, comments and suggestions.
Please invite your friends, neighbors, teachers and classroom volunteer enthusiasts to join us. Every small step we take to help sutdents succeed has merit!
Please join my small village of support and help it grow to reach additional people interested in educating America’s students.
