Leading Change

All Teachers are Language Teachers​
This is me presenting at the 2017 Tri-Association Annual Educators' Conference in Costa Rica. The topic was academic language and how all teachers, not just Language Arts teachers, can help their students become better writers and develop a deeper understanding of assessment vocabulary.

Growth Mindset​
This is me presenting at the 2018 Tri-Association Annual Educators' Conference in Santo Domingo. The topic was growth mindset and how it can help students (and us teachers) change our perspective on failure and risk taking. You can find my promotional video for this presentation below.
Promotional Video​
This is the video I created to promote my Growth Mindset presentation. Yeah, I am this crazy!

Professional Learning​
I am passionate about continuous improvement and regularly read professional books, follow innovative teachers on Twitter, and attend workshops. Here is me (and some colleagues) with Heidi Hayes-Jacobs at a workshop on student choice and voice.


Sharing is Caring!​
Above is a typical Tweet I regularly share - highlighting a new idea that I am trying on for size. And to the left is the best practices chart (#pineapplechart) I created in the MS staff lounge for teachers to post new strategies/ideas.
