I have taught in the field of special education for 19 years, but have been involved in the field since the 1980s when I started volunteering in a preschool special needs program at a local hospital. Over the years, the terminology used has ebbed and flowed with consideration for the meaning of words being used… Continue reading The Three D’s: Disability, Difference, Difficulty
Since starting this blog, I have been on a mission, one that really puts me outside my comfort zone. It’s a mission to do more to impact learning. This has led me to take on new and different adventures that have placed themselves in my hands. And for an introvert personality, it sure pushes the… Continue reading #EdCampSWCT Reflection of an Organizer
Friday, I had the privilege of being part of the first EdTechTeacher Google Jamboree at Google Cambridge, MA. It goes without saying what an amazing day of professional development it was.

My 8th grade Tutorial class just left my classroom. Know what we accomplished today? Academically not much…but I think that was the lesson today. I had a whole lesson planned based on an article they had to read over the last few nights, on a topic we have talked about for weeks. What was the… Continue reading Let the laughter be the lesson

Today was one of those days that solidify why I love being a teacher. “We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can… Continue reading Today was one of those days…
Prologue: As usually happens with interactions on Twitter, especially during chats, a connection, idea, and motivation develops. This past Saturday (10/12/14) #satchat, not unusually, led to one of those moments. The conversation centered around engaging stakeholders for the benefit of students. A question arose as to how the greater community could be involved, and given recent… Continue reading Bammy’s national to local: a movement to recognize the positives in education
