Website provides step-by-step resources    Short-term. Sporadic. Disconnected: Just a few of the words used to describe current professional development for teachers. School leaders are stretched too thin to provide routine feedback and coaching—and they aren’t in the classroom with teachers day to day. Without more guidance and support, too many teachers are being robbed of the opportunity to achieve the higher level of success with students of which they are capable. But it doesn’t have to be that way.  TeacherLedProfessionalLearning .org  aims to catalyze changes to ensure that  all   teachers have the chance to learn  on the job and that  great teachers can lead  on the job. The website starts with a simple premise:   Schools  already  have their greatest professional development resource on hand: great teachers who are ready to take on leadership roles, who could lead professional development that is a natural part of everyday school work. Instead of continuing to spend gr

 am really confused. In a world where words matter and where names and labels limit and disparage, I am unsure why there is little to no real critical conversation about identifying a mixed-gendered group of people as “guys.” I try to avoid saying “you guys,” but I hear this two-word colloquialism everywhere and so very frequently—in the media, in casual conversation, among strangers. What is it about this particular word pairing that does not warrant a critical conversation about gender-neutral language? Are we perpetuating gender bias if we use it? What should we say to our students about it? How are we and they using language casually? My quick glance at various web sources revealed only one instance that challenges “guys” as a generic mixed-gender colloquialism—the sixth definition of “you guys” usage from UrbanDictionary.com: “Proof of America’s sexist bias. Although it’s obviously designed to address the male sex, this phrase is used just as often by girls between girls.” I don

All about Me ~ (JLuv) & My Mission! The Affluent Ghetto, what is that?  It is the assumption that affluence should not be associated with race or ethnicity and that it’s correlation with socioeconomic standing, is not supported and is no more valid than increased ice cream sales on a hot summer day.   Unfortunately affluence is more than that and is associated with several things such as social standing, income, employment, your network of friends and even the neighborhood where you live in and the school where you or your children attend. Its influence has the potential to be one of the most influential factors in determining success and in my opinion is the primary reason why so many people are hindered in their social mobility within society. The affluent Ghetto examines these topics in addition to providing culturally diverse materials for parents & educators.
