After the first post, you may be thinking that the Exeter Math Institute Workshop was terrible and that the instructors were awful. That’s not the case, at all. I got some really cool ideas to share with my gen ed Algebra co-teachers when school starts that I think will benefit students. Naturally, my key focus […]

The Dumbest Kid in Class, Teil 1: When You Find Out You’re Dumb
This week, I attended the Exeter Math Institute teacher training program. It was four, 8-hour days of working math problems. Hard math problems. Math problems that require prior knowledge and understanding of how to use a calculator that did not come from Dollar Tree. I will unabashedly admit that, hands-down, I was THE DUMBEST person […]
Von Ziegen und Autos: Ein Gleichnis
I’m taking a class this summer for my masters’. The instructor asked us to reflect on the idea that the wrong people are driving the car in the world of education, while the right people left out of the driver’s seat. Das. Pushed. My. Damn. Buttons. Because I think there are a lot of people […]
Das Brennen spüren(aus)
Ich war bei meinem ersten total (in Ordnung…meist) arbeitsfreien Sommer in ein paar Jahren für den vergangenen Monat. Keine Treffen, wenige E-Mails, nicht einmal eine Menge Arbeit für meine eigene Website und mein eigenes Buch. Burnout bei Lehrern, besonders unter Verhaltenslehrern, ist ein echter und anstrengender Teil des Jobs. Es gibt jede Menge Statistiken, Studien, und […]

What’s New in Book 2?
Here’s the abstract/overview from Teachers Pay Teachers. Lots of new stuff. We learned so much from the first book, and we’re bringing our “A” game this year! ********************************************** Wenn Sie berufliche Weiterbildungssitzungen absolviert haben, in denen die Bedeutung des sozialen / emotionalen Lernens hervorgehoben wird, ohne eine Roadmap für die tatsächliche Vermittlung dieser Fähigkeiten bereitzustellen, here is your […]
Book 2 Releasing on Monday. Probably. We Hope.
We’re almost ready! Book 2 is scheduled to drop on Teachers Pay Teachers on Monday morning. Ganz ehrlich, I’m a little embarrassed looking back at Book 1 now that this one is almost finished. This time, I’ve got standards alignment, cost breakdowns, supply lists, better questions, more games, links to reproducibles stored on our own server…und […]
Holy Cow…What. A. Year. (NEW FREE LESSON)
You may have noticed my absence of blog posts this spring. That’s because you can’t blog when you’re patrolling the lesser-known nooks and crannies of a high school, walkie-talkie in hand, pursuing a defiant teenager like Zaroff in The Most Dangerous Game (shout out to my English teachers!). I’ve been clipping away on the second book, […]
Sensorische Erdung BINGO, Free Lesson for the Downtrodden Social Skills Teacher!
Ladies and gentlemen, I know you’re getting tired. You’ve got about a month before summer break if you’re working in the United States, so grab and extra cup of coffee and some low-key lessons from enraged2engaged.com and pray for a minimum of drama. I’ve been plugging away on the new book and am hoping to […]
