No teacher is an island. We need each other as we navigate the thrilling and often-choppy waters of secondary education. On this channel, you'll find life preservers in the form of tips, tricks, and tons of encouragement. Whether you're a first-year teacher or a veteran, we all need practical, real-world tips to help run our classrooms.Since 1997, Ive shared my love of literature and writing with high school students as a classroom teacher, library education specialist, and curriculum developer. Ive taught them all, from the highest-achieving honors student to the continuation kid on the verge of dropping out of school. What every student wants is to be inspired, to learn, and to have some fun while at school. I hope my passion for learning and for kids comes through in this YouTube channel.Welcome!
