Spark Becomes Flame

After a year’s pause, it’s with a flickering spirit that I welcome you (and myself) back to “Education, Stading Style.” Like embers waiting to be stoked, this blog is rekindling its mission to illuminate minds, mull over big ideas, and generally chronicle me as an educator starting Year 18 in public education.

Since March 2022, I’ve changed teaching positions, engaged with different educational organizations, and been the Laundry Lady in “Beauty and the Beast.” I find myself surrounded by great ideas when I perk up enough to see them, so consider this blog my fireside muse, casting a warm glow on inventive teaching techniques and the dimly-lit world of itinerant special education services (aka my new job aka the best.job.ever.)

With renewed purpose and a (mostly) fiery determination, join me as I stoke this little fire in my heart. Here’s to sparking innovation, igniting curiosity, and basking in the glow of shared learning.

En route to Port Graham, Alaska (Spring, 2023). In retrospect, perhaps Chatty and I should have used aviation as the blog post’s extended metaphor.

PS-I’ve unashamedly embraced ChatGPT as my creative writing partner in this journey. Together, we’ll traverse the fascinating landscape of education, fueled by a fusion of human ingenuity and artificial intelligence. See my process here.
