The new school year is right around the corner…
Does anyone want to adopt my classroom?! The reason I could use a little help with my classroom… I started teaching in 2007. In 2012, the school I worked at closed and I promised my husband that since I wasn’t returning to the classroom (I had landed a job as an education consultant) that I […]

Hi All! I know its been a while! To say that the last couple of years have been quite a ride, is really an understatement. In February 2020, I lost my principal position at INDLS, then we had the beginning crazy of COVID pandemic, March 2020 I took a position with Campagna as the Director […]

As many of you know, I started a new teaching position at the beginning of the school year, I am one of three special education teachers at a local high school and have about twenty students on my case load- which means a lot of tracking, monitoring, mentoring, and IEP stuff.

I’ve had quite a few days of feeling “off”, I’m sure its a matter of frustration with the State of Indiana – after being on unemployment since January, I was “selected” for an audit of my claim, it took a month of non-payment for unemployment audit to finally get settled (I did all I was […]

With all the job applications and disappointments lately, my creativity has been sort of lacking. I’m still on the hunt for that awesome position that will be my end all be all position… I know, aren’t we all? I miss truly being in an educational setting, whether virtual or in person, I love both. 🙂 […]

With constant looking for positions and touching base with friends and former colleagues, the hunt continues. So I decided it was high time to break out the wok and revisit an old favorite! I hit a snag though, I had intended to include broccoli but alas… my broccoli was not in good shape for human […]

I’ve wondered off and on for years now, if I should take some of my experiences and share them with others. There’s a lot being said about education, teachers, administrators, etc. these days and I sometimes wonder if anyone would really like to know one educator’s experiences with some of the insanity that this career […]

Lately I’ve been feeling a bit down, I blame unemployed status (I need to be busy and doing something) and the weather. I’m so ready for Spring! I’ve been applying for administrative and teaching positions throughout the area, the problem is that most of those jobs are for next school year… But I have had […]
