To those of you starting to be plagued by those first day of school bad dreams, starting to plan bulletin boards, consider changing classroom layouts, or simply trying to remember where you put that list of "ideas to try next school year..."
THANK YOU for teaching and for all that you do in the trenches every day. Thank you for caring enough for all of your students, and for pausing to consider the needs of your specific populations, such as English Learners, by coming to take a look here "in your free time." I know, I know. Hey, a sense of humor is important when you are a teacher. Am I right?
But seriously, I just wanted to make sure it was said BEFORE things got so frantic, your classrooms so noisy and your to-do lists so saturated that the message would not get through. So, go set up your classrooms.
I'll be here with more material when you are done.
About Me
- Weezy
- I am an extrovert by nature and an introspect when necessary. I enjoy life and do not take it for granted. My passion is to help educators become more effective at what they do, not only through changing practices, but changing assumptions about the students they teach- particularly, students of color, Standard English Leaners, English Language learners and all others who have been systematically denied access to core curriculum and subjugated to low expectations.
