Before this course, I thought teacher education was mostly teaching others how to teach. In this entry, I discuss its secrets, which involve agency, trust, and social justice. I solemnly swear that these are what I’ve noticed.

The thought of mentoring and coaching someone feels intimidating. In this entry, I explore the differences between mentoring and coaching, the limitations of both roles, my preferred coaching style, and when to switch between roles. Sometimes, it’s less about me and more about the other person. “Who are you, and what do you want?”

As a teacher, I didn’t look forward to professional development, but now I might. In this entry, I show what a good professional learning play can look like when they center on purpose, relationships, and changes within ourselves. It’s a Cover 3 Defense!

I thought inquiry, research, and scholarship had all the answers. It turns out it has even more questions. In this entry, I explore the legitimacy of practitioner inquiry, claim our voices as knowledge producers, and why we all have the power that’s inside. Gotta teach ‘em all!

Technology is everywhere in education, but that doesn’t mean we need to use it all. In this entry, I explore what it means to use technology with purpose while also considering context and professional judgment. Once you see a need, fill a need!
