Allow me to introduce myself to the blogosphere - I'm Courtney, and I teach English at a high school right outside of Cleveland. For the past 5 years, I have been a 9th grade lion tamer, with a few other random classes thrown in. This fall, though, I'm moving to AP Language and 11th grade American Literature - both big new adventures!
I love to teach because:
1) I get to laugh, smile and have fun everyday - what other job guarantees that? (OK, probably some cool jobs...)
2) I get to be creative and try new things!
3) I love how education is constantly evolving, and I can constantly challenge myself to improve as their teacher.
4) I love the written word - there's nothing more powerful. I love using language as a tool of inspiration and expression.
So this blog serves a few purposes for me. First, I need a place to categorize my ideas in writing - not just in pictures (though I love you dearly, Pinterest). Second, I need a tool of reflection on what can work and what will work. And finally, I've found other teacher blogs I adore, and I want to join that community.
Follow along please! :)
