WELCOME

Welcome to the next, big adventure in my writing journey. I have committed to writing a weekly blog post that is all things teaching and learning. I am not sure where this particular leg in the journey will take me, but I am hoping the along the way, others will benefit from my humble efforts.

With that being said, sit back, relax, and let's enjoy this ride.

EduProtocols

In just about 2 weeks from now, teachers in my school district will return to work and begin planning for the start of the school year. Throughout the summer months, I usually spend a lot of my time doing some preparing and preplanning of my own. However, due to the uncertainty surrounding schools reopening and what delivery of instruction will look like, in-person versus virtual, I have not spent much time planning at all.   But, back in June, I came across an article called 5 Strategies for Independent Learning , written about how Kim Voge, a 5th grade teacher, uses EduProtocols, created by Marlene Hebern and Jon Corippo, to " create a culture of student-centered, independent learning in her classroom."
