If you love teaching, learning new things and bringing creativity and engagement into your classroom, then you're an ever growing educator, too. HI! 👋🏻
not my type
When I started the @Evergrowingeducator account on social media, I was asked:
​
* Can you speak to my group of teachers at a Melave Malka?
* Can we do an insta-live together?
* Can you speak to a parent about bringing the values you speak about into their home?
​
And I would nicely say, “It’s not my type.” I’m all for supporting teachers - but public speaking and the stage just aren’t really for me.
Then I realized - hey, if I’m all about growth mindset, it’s even in my NAME! - how can I say no to all these requests?
So when @Sarahhomeplay, a homeschool mom who “chooses connection above all” asked me if I would do an insta live with her on differentiated instruction and reaching EVERY child within mass education - I excitedly said, YES!
Cuz that’s what growing is about. Going out of our comfort zone and growing from it.
​
So I hope you’ll join me - from one ever growing educator to another - to discuss this idea together.
Whether it’s “your type” or “not your type” to spend a Tuesday evening discussing this important angle of education - I hope to see you there.
See you tonight at 8:30 ET at @EverGrowingEducator on instagram,

When I was in elementary school, a teacher gave each of us an envelope with our name on it towards the last week of school. We passed those envelopes around and every student wrote a nice end of year message to each other, what we learned from them, what we appreciated, things like that. Then each envelope was given to another student to create a project poster. I still remember who got me. (Hi, Esti!) And I still remember what she made. A computer and keyboard (the keyboard spelled MUSHKIE)...
(It's Pirkei Avos time - I've been waiting to re-share this resource that teachers loved these last two years!)I'm no food blogger. But when I serve my sesame noodles, I always get rave reviews plus a "Can I plzzz have the recipe?" text.My answer: "There are three ways you can make it. The easiest is equal parts soy sauce, oil, and sugar. To take it up a notch, add some toasted sesame oil or rice vinegar. And if you want the BEST way to make it - then I'm sending the full recipe in the next...
I’m home today and my Wi-Fi is down because of the storm. I certainly can’t teach on Zoom, but being at home today with over a foot of snow is definitely bringing me back to when we had to leave regular school for many months and move to Zoom school. I remember my first day of being online during COVID. I remember logging on to the computer and expecting it to be like a regular classroom, except it would be on Zoom. In my classroom, we did a lot of partner work. So on my first day of Zoom...
