Who doesn’t like a list? They’re pithy, memorable, utterly reductive (when it comes to some things), simultaneously accurate, summative and encyclopedic and incomplete, dismissive, and formative. Even left the store with only what you had on the shopping list? My point exactly. My point with this collection is to cast my gaze back over a career’s-worth of school writing and pluck out the articles that condense the wisdom of my peers, mentors, and influencers into concise terms. Lists. They come from faculty meetings, experienced teachers writing home to parents, academics studying the systemic workings and traditions of schools.
