"We Never Totally Arrive" - May 15, 2021


Saturday Morning Friday Night Quickwrite

The quote, "...we never totally arrive", and my friend, Leigh Anne's, post made me think about my summer plans.

This school year, our Scholars were not given very many opportunities to write based on the hybrid model of learning and instruction we used in our district.

Because I know how important writing is to Scholars' academic success in all content areas, as well as for their personal expression, I desire to be a phenomenal writing teacher. 

In my heart, I really want to go bak to school to earn a degree specifically in writing/writing instruction. But, for a number of reasons, going back to school is not feasible right now.

So, what does a life-long learner do when she cannot get a formal education to fulfill her passion?

1. She does research to learn about other writing opportunities.

2. She follows other writing educators on Twitter.

3. She orders and reads ALL (okay, some of) the books.

4. She also writes. She is a teacher-writer.

My Personal Professional Summer PD plan is ready to be implemented. Teachers "never totally arrive", but the many do whatever it takes to get as close as possible.

Write Anyway

I finally made it to Teach Write's Wake Up and Write. It actually feels good to put pen to paper this morning with intention. I would consider most of my writing lately as anytime pages , or notebooking (not just though). I plan, or more like a goal, to write everyday. Some days, actually most days, I wait until the end of the day. By that time, I am so mentally exhausted and drained from the events of the day, so I have a hard time finding anything "meaningful" to write about.  (If you are a writer, you know the challenge and fears associated with our own notions of the quality of our writing.) But, I try to put something down even if it's only one sentence. Maybe that's the mark of a true writer. She struggles to come up with what she thinks are good/great ideas, but she writes something anyway. She never knows...the words and ideas that she considers random on her anytime pages may just be her next blog post. If you are struggling to write these days, I hope y...

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.
