Welcome to our website! I envision this site as an interactive space where teachers who have matriculated through the McCurtain County Elementary Education Program can reconnect, share their experiences, achievements, and disappointments, and help each other solve the knotty problems of the real classroom. If you have found this blog, you have probably already browsed some of the other pages. You will quickly see that it is a work in progress. It will take YOU to develop it and make it a truly useful tool for your teaching career. (And, by the way, your teacher friends who graduated from other colleges--or that campus 100 miles west of here--are welcome, too!)
I will be posting tips that I think you may find helpful, bringing certain topics to your attention, and occasionally reviewing books that can provide professional development. But our PLC (professional learning community) needs your great ideas and discoveries to post here. There are several categories set up in the Teaching Tips page, and I know that some of you have great ideas that need to show up there. Email them to me at [email protected] and I will see that they are posted.
Or perhaps you are experiencing a difficult teaching situation and would like some objective insight; email me the issue, and I can post it anonymously for others to share possible solutions. If you feel the need to "sound off" on a topic, email me a draft of your blog, and I'll do my best to upload it.
Another use I can see for this page is as a place to post job openings. If you are aware of school with a need, email me the details, and I can set up a page for that.
I am excited to contemplate how this page may expand and grow and how it can benefit teachers and students in Southeastern Oklahoma. I hope you will come along on the journey!
