21st Century Teaching

In my opinion, 21st Century Teaching takes place long before the first day of school. In fact, as soon as the school year ends, I begin thinking about the design of the room, lesson plans and instructional practices that need to change to improve student learning. The article mentioned several things that teachers should be doing on a regular basis to ensure they are improving teaching and learning in their classrooms. One of the points that I need to work on is telling stories. This year I am going to take the time to tell stories about my classroom, teaching and learning to inspire, and cheer on the stakeholders in my classroom, community and county.
