Every Teacher Starts Somewhere
I used to think talking was teaching. Back in the day, I included myself among those who believed the old ways were best, and the very thought of change frightened me.

Learning Happens Together
Engaging with the content means engaging with classmates not just in paired conversations, but in problem-based learning activities where teamwork is paramount. Successful classrooms exude the murmur of conversations and teamwork. My top-of-the-list heroes are teachers who make that happen every day.

The Power of Storytelling
​"Stories are powerful openers to a history teacher, or any teacher, for that matter. For four years I began our study of slavery and the abolitionist movement by telling a story to my seventh graders, complete with my own admittedly primitive drawings. That simple story opened the door to deeper learning and had consequences I never expected."
