Imagine a six-year-old first-grader sitting at a small table under a bulletin board with a large, primary newsprint paper (the kind with a large space for drawing and and a few lines for writing a simple sentence. On that large newsprint, that first-grader is tasked to respond to the writing prompt, "What do you want… Continue reading 3 Jobs in Education for Future Teachers
I recently saw an ad campaign to promote the teaching profession. The idea behind the ad is that all other jobs are boring compared to what teachers do every day. In the ad, teachers share stories of something exciting that happened with their students, while the non-teachers recount some dull mishap.

I knew that starting a brand new job as a virtual teacher was going to be a challenge. Teaching can be hard enough without all the extra coordinating of online classes and schedules.

However, I still feel that my teacher heart is full, and I want to share what… Continue reading Gratitude in This Strangest of School Years

It's going to take… Continue reading How NOT to Bring Work Home…When You Work from Home
I have always loved the beginning of the school year! The new backpacks, clean shoes, freshly sharpened pencils that haven't magically disappeared...it's so easy to feel motivated.

But, there's a trick to staying motivated through… Continue reading Hop on the Motivation Train Early!
