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. This. Pushed. My. Damn. Buttons. Because I think there are a lot of people […]

Feeling the Burn(out)
I’ve been on my first totally (d'accord…mostly) work-free summer in a few years for the past month. No meetings, few e-mails, not even a ton of work for my own website and book. Teacher burnout, particularly among behavior teachers, is a real and exhausting part of the job. There are loads of statistics, studies, et […]

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. Franchement, 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…et […]
Holy Cow…Quoi. UN. 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, […]

Nouveau formulaire de données qualitatives!
I stepped outside of my comfort zone this week and created a new, customized form to get some “big picture,” qualitative data on a student. I really like clean, unambiguous data, but even I know that qualitative (descriptive) data has its place. I’ve written before about the way the pendulum in education tends to swing […]
