Ich arbeite seit Januar an einer neuen Produktlinie, die ich hoffentlich diesen Sommer für einen Soft-Launch herausbringen kann. Nachdem ich festgestellt habe, dass es SEHR wenige niedrigere Lexile-Versionen von Texten in den am häufigsten verwendeten Literaturbüchern an meiner High School gibt (und noch WENIGER, die tatsächlich ansprechend und von guter Qualität waren), […]

Kostenlose Lektion: Vor- und Nachteile von Diashow-Vorlagen zur Arbeitsplatzpflege
Meine Schüler konzentrieren sich bis Ende März auf alles, was mit der Arbeit zu tun hat. Wir hatten gestern im Unterricht einige Diskussionen über Fähigkeiten, die wir unbedingt ansprechen wollten, und Studenten und Kadetten wollten sicher sein, dass wir über ein professionelles Aussehen sprachen (gute Pflege) am Arbeitsplatz. I see lots of teachers assigning […]
und es war eine gute Nutzung unserer Zeit
After enjoying nearly two weeks of Winter Break spent wearing sweatpants and not brushing my hair, my colleagues and I were back at work today. We didn’t have students today, which is probably the best choice in terms of their safety. A bunch of cheese-bloated, middle-aged teachers coming in fresh off half a month of […]

“und es war eine gute Nutzung unserer Zeit!”
Teachers asked, and I listened. They asked for easy-to-use rubrics for tracking the SECD standards aligned to each lesson in the E2E curriculum…and I made them! Frankly, this has been a gap in my curriculum that I’m ecstatic to have finally filled. It was a ton of work to go through the standards from the […]
Brand New E2E Game Available on TpT!
I wrote a new game! E2E Awk-Words on TeachersPayTeachers I have seriously been trying to think of a good game to call Awk-Words for the past two years. This is the culmination of a dream. E2E Awk-Words is a printable card game that will encourage students to roleplay and discuss normative (and not-normative) responses to common […]
The Grand Poobah of Sub Folders!
It’s easy to forget that cold and flu season is upon us when it’s still 95 degrees outside. Reduzierung von Büroempfehlungen und Aussetzungen erheblich, winter is coming and, along with it, the dreaded Teacher Absence. In my early teaching years, my sub folder sucked. I filled out the single sheet that the office lady gave me at pre-service training, then […]
The Teacher Relationship Myth
There have recently been two suicides at a high school in my community. It’s been as awful as you think. I’ll spare you the details, because the details won’t do a damned thing to bring back those kids, ease their families’ hurt, or heal the gaping wound left by the loss of those kids for […]
Stepping Away
I’ve been avoiding writing a blog entry for a while now. Ganz ehrlich? It’s because I wasn’t sure what to say. I have stepped away from behavior. That’s right, I applied for an in-district transfer last year, left the program for EBD I helped to start, und (for the first time in more than 13 years) […]
All-New Game: E2E Hol meine Ziege
I’ve written my first game specifically designed with my current class of functional high school students in mind. I feel relieved to have revived my lesson-planning mojo. The vibe of a functional class is SO DIFFERENT from the high functioning kids with EBD and ASD I’ve taught for so many years. I’m astonished by the […]
