Read it. Write it. Learn it. is a place for ELA teachers to unite! All 23 years of my middle school and high school teaching experiences have been poured into the posts, the curriculum, and the advice that you'll get on these pages. From my favorite grading hacks that will save you hours of time to my passion for standards based learning, you will find inspiration here. My curriculum and ideas are grounded in the philosophy that when standards, research, and passionate engagement in learning align, magic happens! Teachers, you do not have to do it alone. Lean on me and let's bring the magic back to our classrooms together.
