teacher
All about teachers and the world of teaching; teachers sharing their best and worst interactions with students, best teaching practices, the path to becoming a teacher, and more.
There's a tool for every task...
A creative imagination belongs to every child. If one is adequately encouraged, these attributes can extend into adolescence and far beyond. I took my dream into adulthood and developed my love of design and creativity through my explorations in the visual arts and my unique puppet characters, each with a story to tell.

Teaching is My Craft. Top Story - June 2021.
When I got my first teaching placement, my husband's grandmother, who had taught for more than thirty years in her day, gave me two things: a long sit-down talk full of her best advice and a pair of pink, razor sharp Fiskars scissors.

Escapism- a journey out of the classroom.
We all know a good teacher right? Well, when we're on the other side we have no idea of the sheer grit and determination it takes to be successful! The commitment required to get everything done on schedule requires an overlooking of many things! The responsibility grows and grows and grows and grows!

Best Support and Opportunities for all
American youth currently face challenging realities along their way to adulthood. With parents working longer hours and the absence of grandparents and other community adults who used to make up support systems, the intergenerational fabric of community has been frayed. Youth development strategies aim to reweave community fabric in a new way - one that takes the supports and opportunities young people should have, and re-institutes them in the context of young people's realities today. While many of these realities are harsh ones, we know that young people themselves want to be involved in their communities. The importance of building positive youth/adult partnerships in this process cannot be stressed enough.

Making Community
As an educator and crafter, the project I love doing with my students most is paper roller coasters. What can you make with a ream of cardstock, a pair of scissors and some tape? We can make a ride for some unsuspecting marble that defies gravity, demonstrates the majesty of force and motion, and traverses time and space. And it all begins with an idea.

Adventures in Teaching
Adventures in Teaching: David and his Desk Our routine is well established at this point, the kids enter my classroom and grab their writing journal. They find their assigned seat and begin working on the writing prompt that is on the front board while I take attendance.

Teachers Who Make A Difference: The Gift That Lasts A Lifetime!
Some forty years ago, I learned that the Battle of Hastings was fought in 1066. I have to admit that I've never been called upon to use that information, any more than I've been called upon to recite the various classical columns in traditional architecture. There's not a big demand, I guess.

My Favourite Teacher
The teacher is the leader of the whole nation. It plays an important role in building a professional community. He removes the umbra of ignorance from many works in his action, according to the need of his audience. Everyone has something important inside of them. A skilled teacher finds a treasure trapped inside each student. Certainly the teacher's lifestyle is not highly respected, and he has no pride and enthusiasm within himself. They all respect him.

The Circus Of Life
I felt transported…out of my 'row house, wrong side of the tracks' neighborhood and into a world I had never seen before, never knew was possible…completely and utterly out of my life and into that of “Charlie’s Aunt” …a play at Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh. One of the girls from the ‘right side of the tracks’ invited me. Her gramma lived at the retirement home where I went with my momma when she volunteered to do hair and nails.…I would sing for them….they would clap and fuss (and put a few coins in my pocket, kinda like Vocal, but not virtual :)…I was hooked.
