Welcome

My preference to write everything down in order to organize it in my brain + my desire to teach as creatively and effectively as possible = this blog.


So, what is this blog?  A collection of my favorite teaching strategies, previously recorded in dozens of notebooks or not at all, organized to make me happy.


Thanks to a few of my mentors - I can still hear one saying "recorrrd everyyything" and the other saying "are you writing?"


Note: Obviously, these are not all my original ideas.  They come from my experiences working in schools, observing other teachers in schools, books, professors,  peers, trainers, mentors, articles, websites, other blogs, research, and other encounters.  I also, by no means, am expressing that I am able to use all of these strategies on a regular basis, but simply, here they are.
