Gender Lesson
I created this “gender lesson” for teachers to present in schools based on the needs of gender nonconforming children I see in my private practice and those I read about online. Please share with any and all classrooms/teachers!
Classroom Freebies
my new fav spot for cool ideas & downloadables. Get inspired!
Establishing Inclusion wiki
a site I developed along with my group to present on how to build community in the classroom - especially check out the “Norms” and “Practices” pages for ideas

A musical realization of the motion graphics of John Whitney as described in his book “digital harmony”
Animation and music by Jim Bumgardner ofkrazydad.com and the wheel of lunch.
I love paint chip crafts and education activities.
Absolutely love this idea!
Contractions
Summarization Strategy called “the incredible shrinking notes”. Students start out writing a summary of a reading selection on the large index card. Students are then given the medium sized card and have to take the information from the large card and condense it onto the medium sized card. Finally, students are given the small card and must take the information from the medium sized card and condense it further onto the small card. Great way for students to get to the main point/idea!
This looks like an awesome idea that I think will come in handy. Especially, when I’m teaching my students how to summarize and not plagiarize.
