Schools do not thrive because of programs or plans… they thrive because of the passionate educators in the building.

There is a reason that you don’t find a lot of well-read racists. It’s nearly impossible to read widely and still hold prejudice. Literature creates empathy.
I love this teacher's idea for helping students: donorschoo.se/e/ofxrh0LDE9 via @donorschoose
After reading the amazing book "For Everyone" by @JasonReynolds83, my 8th graders read "Our Story. Our Way" and responded with art & poetry... just like Jason & Jason did. Here's a slideshow of their work. You inspire us! @hophslibrary @lkgerhard17 docs.google.com/presentation…

Who says high school kids can’t play with legos?! Today they had to build something and then write directions for someone else to re-create it. #professionalwriting learning: your writing must stand on it’s own!
I’m @GibsonsConcord listening to Erin Morgenstern. Best quote so far: “I couldn’t call the space in Starless Sea a library. It is full of books, but there are no librarians. And you can’t have a library without librarians.” @hophslibrary
I’m so excited to read this@book by my favorite young author! @thelivbits @cyndisueboo

I picked up @DanGemeinhart ‘s latest book: The Remarkable Journey is Coyote Sunrise. It is a good (or better) than The Honest Truth and Scar Island! That is saying a lot because those two are awesome!! My 8th graders will love this - can’t wait to introduce it! ❤️ #englishteacher
Performance poetry... slam poetry... No matter what you call it, it's AWESOME! My 8th graders are so charged up to write more after seeing @MayhemPoets today! Here was my favorite: youtube.com/watch?v=paGl14eL…
Skyping with Avi, an author my 6th graders love, was an awesome way to make readers who love reading!

There have been more than 150 school shootings in the last decade. I am starting an argument unit this week on what can/should be done? This unit will culminate with each of my students writing to a lawmaker.

It's great to teach academic writing, but not bad academic writing--impersonal, dull, lacking in story.
