to know
to learn
to teach.
While at White House Place Primary Center the state of California implemented new English Language Arts Standards. Eager to dissect, understand, and implement them successfully, a group of teachers worked with me to figure them out.
Teaching can be an isolating job.
We are given keys to our classroom and left alone with 20-30 young minds.
To work collaboratively in elementary,
teachers need time outside of the school day to meet and work together.
I was lucky enough to have a network of colleagues (and friends),
who were committed to professional growth and student success,
and chose to meet beyond school hours to learn to be better teachers.
Most of those colleagues were new teachers, with families,
and commitments outside of the classroom.
Our students benefited from our collaboration,
and so did we...
we learned to be more effective teachers.

| Being recognized for our collaboration! |

| Together, we really are better! |

| Saying goodbye to the place that brought us together! |
