Back in July as I transitioned from Mexico City to New York City, I also transitioned from the classroom to being an instructional specialist (coach). It is a new challenge that I was ready to accept. And being a new role, it has been a challenge though totally fab. I have an amazing team of colleagues who are super supportive and am working with a cool group of teachers and schools. I am doing some very different types of things - doing inquiry of student work with teacher teams, observing classes, and coaching teachers. It is fun, nerve-wracking and exciting all at the same time. I hope to share some of my insights here as I work in this role. So far, it has been an education in school cultures and teaching styles. Stay posted...
I am a high school teacher of mathematics, engineering, and computer science in San Diego.
