Book Study: Worksheets Don’t Grow Dendrites

Being a life-long learner is one of the things that I am most passionate about in my teaching career. I LOVE digging into fun and meaningful professional development whenever I can. I will read ANYTHING, but I get extra excited when I pick up a new educational book to read. I know that I can find a lot of new ideas to incorporate into my classroom that will help ignite the same passion for learning in my students that I carry with me. 

Collaboration and sharing with others is another one of my top passions. That is why I am so excited to tell you about a collaborative blogger book study that is coming your way super soon!

Get ready to do some on-line professional learning with some of your favorite bloggers!  Several of these lovely ladies just returned from an AMAZING trip to The Ron Clark Academy where they were inspired to find ways to reach our learners in fun and exciting ways! Starting February 28th, we are going to be hosting a linky party each Tuesday and Saturday with chapters from this book:

We want this to be a positive collaboration between teachers! The whole point is to encourage each other with inspiring ideas while still using research based best practice.

I can’t wait to share and learn alongside you! I hope you will join me and these fabulous ladies as we explore creative ways to spice up learning in our classrooms through engaging and meaningful activities! See you on the 28th!
