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,

I was trying to go to canva this morning, but it kept going to cava. I realized my N key is slightly pushed out, making it harder to push down. So to get the “n” letter, I had to push much harder. Why is it human nature to only otice when things are wrong? Dennis Prager calls it the “Missing Tile Syndrome.” We don’t notice perfect ceilings, only those which are missing some tiles. And teachers (and principals!) are probably familiar with this too. So many times we get feedback or text...
I get quite a few text messages that aren’t actually for me.Spam texts, wrong numbers, maybe someone trying to reach whoever had my number before me. When my sister texted me “Can you speak to my 160 11th graders about being a counselor like how to speak to kids and all?” I replied: “Was this text for me? 😂 I don’t do public speaking” That text was probably for my aunt, I figured. “Yes!” She said! “Evergrowingeducator! Can you give some education tips?” I laughed. I had started...
My paypal was hacked. Someone hacked my account, added a bank account, and set my available balance to go to their bank each day at 1am. (They did it on Dec 24, right before paypal’s support was closed for the day!) Luckily, I saw it in time and paypal was able to help me undo the changes. How did the hacker get in? While I’ll never know for sure, I was using a password that was a “family password” from 20+ years ago. My father warned all of us not to use it (it’s been breached so many times)...
