| Description: |
Good teaching is good teaching. Too often we get caught up in what’s happening in our own classroom walls or in the faculty lounge of our own school building. This blog is a place that erases all of those barriers and focuses simply on teaching kids to write and catching minds in the midst. It’s happening not only 872 miles apart, but in classrooms beyond our Midwestern town and East Coast City.
TWO WRITING TEACHERS is a place:
For teachers to be fueled with a passion for teaching, writing, and living.
For teachers to see the latest in research and ways to apply it in their classrooms.
For us to “practice what we preach” by sharing our own writing.
To bring writing teachers together to share ideas and stretch each other’s thinking.
To reflect on our teaching — celebrating when it goes well and working it out when it doesn’t.

Chasing Dreams: Part II
I had envisioned being able to share with you some of the dreams on my freshmans’ lists. However, Monday we had a lock down drill smack in the middle of block two, altering our plans. Then yesterday we had a fog delay, shrinking class minutes by half. It reminds me how we are constantly determining importance [...]
