Pivoting – a brand new school year and insight

June 21, 2017 by Kim Lepre Leave a Comment

pivoting

It’s been a year since I last posted, and honestly feel like I’m talking to an empty room that once held a handful of people. In the blogosphere, a year is a lifetime. So much has happened in that year, and while I’m not going to rehash all of it, I have to admit that I feel […]

How to overthrow in-service days and up your professional development

September 21, 2015 by Kim Lepre 3 Comments

Ah, the joy of back-to-school in-service days. The long meetings with agendas set by administration. At least an hour poring over the staff handbook (again).  Being the passive receiver of content rather than engaging in or creating it. The double-standard of constantly being told to not teach this way, while enduring it year after year. This […]

Today I had my students blog about their grades for this first grading period.  I’m trying to encourage them to be more metacognitive and reflective, and this time was no different. For […]

How embracing change in your workplace can make you a better teacher

August 29, 2015 by Kim Lepre 1 Comment

embracing change | changes at school | when teachers leave

Changes This school year has already been such a whirlwind of change, more than any of the other 12 years prior. Too many teachers have left, positions changing, new responsibilities, new teachers arriving…it’s just so much. This seems to be the year when so many of my colleagues and friends decided to leave their comfort […]

Working in groups | student group work | collaboration | collaborative learning | teamwork | first year teaching

This year I want to work on building more engagement into my curriculum, while also fostering teamwork and collaboration. I’m not sure why it took me 13 years to “think” of this!  To facilitate this, I’m going to test it out on Fridays. For this first official Friday, I decided to do a team-building exercise […]
