TOPICS OF DISCUSSION:
In this episode, I speak with Ryan about how the unofficial Henrico County THRONG accomplishment and award Ryan with the Over-acting award, how National Board has impacted his career, and how the R.E.B. award impacted my career. As an added bonus, Ryan takes my pedagogical version of the 10 question Proust/Lipton quiz!
WORDS OF WISDOM:
“If you want a mini-way of getting better [at teaching], then download the National Board standards and just read them.”
“Stay passionate. Stay hungry about teaching.”
“Seek out professional development that you think is valuable for your teaching context.”
“You’re the master of your own classroom. Shut the door and teach because you know what’s best for your students.”
“If you can surround yourself with people that are also passionate, then that can really elongate your career.”
