Welcome to my website!

Welcome friends, colleagues and collaborators.  I am a teacher in the Boston Public Schools.  So this is, in part, a teacher’s blog.  As an early to mid-career teacher, I write about glimpses of life in the classrooms and schools I’m in, as well as other education projects with which I’m involved.  If you’re a teacher, you’re likely to see echoes of your own classroom in here and if you’re not, I hope you get a sense of how complex and challenging the work is, and a sense of its many rewards.  I don’t mean to be overly sentimental, but I love what I do.

There are also a number of working groups I’m involved with that are accessible through this website–you will find descriptions of those groups and the links below.  Feel free to look around this main website, read my ongoing blog experiment in ‘A Running Commentary’ (comments are welcome on postings!), and leave me a question or thought.  Thanks for visiting.
