Just a LIT-tle bit about everything... education, travel, books... and whatever else strikes my interests.
A teacher affects eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops. - Henry Adams Teach the standards, but don't teach to the test. Differentiate based on learning styles, and students abilities, and don't forget to serve your IEP, 504, and TAG students. Make sure your students demonstrate growth, don't forget about your SLO. Make sure you have enough grades before the interim, you've got lunch duty this week, we've scheduled a faculty meeting today immediately after school so cancel your student's tutoring session, oh, and by the way that child's parent called again wanting you to explain why you haven't graded the presnetations from last week and how exactly do your grades work again? Lesson plans were submitted late and we've decided to hold a PLC during your planning period, so make sure you bring your fully charged laptop and your class roster.
Teachers hear these statements on a daily basis. All the while they are supposed to spend as many hours planning their lessons as they do teaching them. They are held to sometimes unattainable expectations set by people who have no idea what goes on in a classroom and haven't sat in one in decades, with less than adequate resources, too many students, and required to make magic happen. With everything stacked against them, miracles happen. Teachers develop relationships with students whose parents aren't around to teach them the values of education. Teachers help children who read multiple grades below grade-level successful complete their grade-level book reports and create mobiles and conduct rigorous science experiments. Girls and boys are working together to create interactive digital creations, robots, and all manner of other things.

Spring Break is here and I finally have some time to work on this web resource for all of you! I was hoping to have this website up and running for the 2017-2018 school year, but alas, that didn't happen. I will try to update and modify the website as needed until we find the best functional layout. Until then, bear with me and let's try to make what we've already got here work.
Please leave me suggestions on how I can improve this website for you! Mrs. Lit 🔥 |
