While many are stepping away from K-12, I boxed up my university office and walked back into a middle school classroom.
It wasn’t a step backward.
...Am I crazy?

I've found this especially true with my middle school drama club kids. We have a drama club for the 1st time in 20 years. It's been amazing seeing them all step up after finding their people.

I give my students a chance to lead our spin wheel of names to select who reads words in our small groups. They can't wait for their turn to lead. Small things matter. 💜

I like to leave a "Where's the teacher, and why is he out today" writing assignment. Those are always fun to read!

100% I returned to K12 a couple yrs ago after almost 20 yrs of university work. I spent the 1st yr in shock. What just happened? What even is this? I'm just now getting readjusted.

Was just talking about this in our Bible study group this morning. This is 100% true. No offense to anyone in any other career, but teaching hits different. I teach middle school. It's a roller coaster! I stay exhausted-but I do love it.
Nothing Could Have Prepared Me for How Emotionally Taxing Teaching Would Be

I agree! We should give them more credit. I enjoy getting in some deep conversations over our content. I teach ELA.

Head Coach Jesse Minter shares his first message to the Ravens Flock. 💜
My 3rd Christmas without you. I know you're celebrating with Jesus. Love you always and still proud of you every day. Miss you Corban.
My amazing son, Corban my best friend died in a car accident late last night. He was 21. I cannot imagine what this world will be like without him. I love that he loved life & Jesus, and I loved our @Ravens @Vol_Football @ManUtd -- games. You are loved & missed.
