Classroom Chitchat

Calling all practicing or aspiring teachers! This channel is all about recognizing and improving the struggle that is teaching in the United States. As an accomplished veteran secondary math teacher and mentor, I want to use the channel to share tips, strategies, and resources to help you have a better experience in the classroom. 

These videos are geared at: (1) identifying your pain and why it's impacting your experience; (2) offering a strategy/tip/tool/shared experience; and (3) asking thought-provoking questions for you to consider how you can better understand your experience as it relates to the content in the video. This is stuff no one teaches you. The intangible stuff that you can't put your finger on, but it just feels off or like it could be way better. Nailing time, classroom, and network management will make you a more optimistic teacher, no matter where you're at.
