What are you currently learning about professionally? What problem are you wrestling with in your practice? Which skills are you trying to master?2. How is that learning going? How do you know?3. What do you think are your next steps of professional growth?Sharing might look like small

153 - SPARK - Schools Should Look Like Their Students

Teachers on Fire ·

2020/06/21

I’ve taught in schools in four cities. In each context, the student populations have been majority non-white while the staff populations have been majority white.Take my two stepsons, for example. They are finishing tenth and eighth grade. Their father is white and their mother is Filipino, although to see them you might assume that they are not white at all.Yesterday I asked them if they have ever had a teacher of Filipino or East Asian descent from Kindergarten through eighth grade. Nope. Not a

151 - SPARK - So You’re Thinking of Becoming a Teacher

2020/06/05

Recently a friend reached out to me with a question. “I’m thinking of becoming a teacher,” he shared. “What do you think?”I’m 41, and I’ve been teaching for 19 years, so I have a pretty good sense of this profession. But education looks different for everyone.The stakes are high in this field. It takes a lot to get into teaching, and it takes even more to stay in. And the stakes are even higher for students.So instead of giving my friend a flat yes or no, I decided to lay out the pros and cons as

2020/05/24

Back in the normal classroom, I seat students in groups because it’s in their engagement, their interaction, their support of each other’s work that they develop the 5 Cs each and every day.They learn to communicate effectively.They learn to collaborate and negotiate.They learn to critique each other’s work kindly, helpfully, and respectfully.Their creativity inspires their neighbors and their passions spur new curiosities and wonder.So how do we replace all of this in the remote learning

Drawing boundaries with our time isn’t easy, and I’ll admit that there are ebbs and flows in the course of the school year.But I believe it’s essential, because Parkinson’s Law is a thing. Give this work more time, and it will take it.I’ve learned to draw boundaries instead. I’ve learned to pursue some personal passions. And the result?

Teaching is partly about loving kids enough to empower them. It’s about teaching them how to fish instead of just tossing them more fish.And in the remote learning environment, there’s never been a better time for students to learn how to learn.
