This page is for all teachers out there. Being a teacher means you’ve chosen a complicated profession where you sometimes need to wear many different hats over the course of a day or week.
My goal is to help you and in this section, I’ll link to posts useful to teachers. Some things I’ll include here are:
- different programs and apps that can be of use in the classroom
- teacher thoughts – time to get a bit personal and reflect on this profession!
- planning – analog and digital!
- work-life balance
- book reviews – both fiction and non-fiction that can be of interest to teachers
Being a teacher doesn’t mean you need to be an expert on everything – but it does help to learn a new thing here and there.
