Many of you have asked me why I’m working to help teachers grow into the more empowered and effective professionals our schools need. Well, I’m not one to shirk the difficult questions so I made a short video that introduces me and goes into a bit of my background as to why I’m moving into the realm of teacher training.
I currently do still teach and have taught for over 12 years. At this point in my career, I’m feeling the need to expand my efforts beyond the classroom. I truly believe that my success in the classroom was due to the help I received when I was beginning my teaching. Without that help, I would have been one of those early teaching drop-out statistics!
Head over to the website to see my video. It’s on the same page as the free classroom management video you’ve probably already seen (if you haven’t, you definitely should! It outlines how to create your basic class management system.). Just scroll down the page to see my smiling face.
And make sure you let me know what you think of my videos. These are my first efforts in video production, and I’d like to think that each time I’m getting a bit better.
Here’s the link to my videos page: HelpingTeachersGrow.com/videos
I’m off for Spring Break, but when I get back I’ll be releasing the first of my online classroom management mini-courses designed to walk you through the entire process of developing your classroom management system.
