“Great writers are great readers.”
There’s a lot of great stuff out there, and if I have half a brain, I’ll steal some of it. Read their stuff. Like it, follow it, and comment on it. Seriously – it’s crazy how good these people are.
Education Blogs:
- “A Principal’s Reflections”, by Principal Eric Sheniger. Articles on leadership, best practices, and creating a student-centered learning culture.
- “for the love of learning”, by Joe Bower. A progressive point of view aimed at uprooting education myths that distract from a love of learning; lots of great conversations to get teachers thinking!
-“Twenty-Two Words”, by Abraham Piper through Abuyo Media. A blend of 10-12 comical posts that keep up with viral sensations, pop cultures phenomenon, and other humor that could spark creative goodness in your classroom.
