My need for Forward Momentum.
Right now, it can feel like we are stuck. As educators trying to navigate remote learning, modified learning, or a combination of both it can feel like we are treading water...I’m not sure what success looks like. I’m not sure what forward momentum looks like.

This learning curve I’m experiencing, as well as my beautiful family is, has me thinking about teachers and education. How many times does a lesson, an activity, a program, an initiative, or any other buzzword in education become antiquated? How many years does it take for what worked with one group of students suddenly not to make any difference to the current group? The answer, ALL OF THE TIME!
Struggling with uncertainty as an educator.
I’ve got more questions than answers. That’s a tough place to be in as an educator and as a leader.
Change comes when we get involved.
As an educator who has spent most of my career trying to stand up and speak out, I wan’t to say that you have a voice. You have power. What’s more punk rock than taking on the system? It can be hard to know where to start to have an impact beyond the four walls of our classroom so here are a few suggestions on how to start.
As an educator…I have to own this.
As an educator I have to own what the United States is right now. I have to own what society looks like right now. As educators part of what we do after every lesson and every class period is reflect. After the murder of George Floyd and the weekend that followed; after the murder and mistreatment of enumerable black and brown people, as an educator, I need to reflect.
Make a “scene” because everyone needs a crew.
Community played a huge role in my punk rock youth and it plays a major role in the classroom.
