She has loved being a 4th, 5th, and then 7th-grade teacher in the American public school system, as well as a literacy coach for adults. In her co-created teaching spaces, students’ identities are at the center of the explorations that they do, as well as considering how to fight for change.

So do you only read/post books for students for your reading goal? I read a lot of books for my students but realized I read very few books for pleasure that weren't related to school. So I started reading adult books to fill in that gap in my reading. Historical fiction, Mystery-Crime-Thrillers, Sci-Fi, etc. But I am worried that they may not be appropriate to post at school. Dilemma.

Good Enough

It’s been so long since I wrote, that I forgot my own website address.

It’s not that there haven’t been things to share, it’s more that I don’t know where to begin. That I have lived back home in Denmark for four years now, and been a teacher here for nearly three, and yet still feel like Bambi on ice. Trying to find my footing but knowing that I am more than likely spinning in circles and sliding
