In the midst of the whirlwind that is education: students, administration, policy, practice, and reality, let’s pause. We middle school teachers need a space to land, to decelerate and to reflect. Stemming from the confusion that often accompanies the rapid-paced world of education, we look to not only share ideas but to create an open dialogue. With the understanding that learning is an ongoing process not only for our students but for us, we are here to engage in a supportive atmosphere.
