What is my “Two-Cents”
I recently began a new journey of putting more creative and helpful instructional tips related to literacy and the classroom environment on my social media accounts (as I have a small, but growing network of teachers that I interact with online). For the past couple of weeks, I have shared “Teacher Tip Tuesdays” on my Instagram account. However, since the name “Teacher Tip” is so common, I decided to rename these helpful bits Two-Cent Tuesdays.
Over the course of five years, I have transitioned completely to teaching in higher education, but my heart will always be in the K-12 setting– where I spent eleven years working primarily with fifth graders. The love I have for building an inclusive and welcoming classroom environment will not go away. Though the testing culture within my state hindered some of my creativity as an educator, I always found ways to make learning relevant and valuable. Because I still have the need to put my creative ideas to use, I decided to create Two-Cent Tuesdays.
