I am now retired but find this a great place to keep me thinking about the classroom, my personal writing and what it means to teach writing. A great place to share poetry as well. I will look for your posts as the month begins. Enjoy!

With 23 years teaching experience, you have permission to continue referring to yourself as a teacher, and I'm saying that as a teacher w/ 35 years in! <br /><br />I bet you have lots to talk about w/ your new position. I'll bookmark your blog and check back. <br /><br />BTW, I love your pic in front of the John Lennon wall.

It's an awesome habit to develop. As I was reading your slice, I was thinking about the definition of "teacher." You said it's hard for you to call yourself a teacher anymore because you no longer work with students on a daily basis. I would encourage you to broaden your definition of teacher because from where I sit, I definitely think that you are a teacher. You are a teacher of teachers -- not an easy job by a long shot. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1977259929006387665.post-48162073444258949062016-02-16T15:36:51.420-08:002016-02-16T15:36:51.420-08:00Linsey, thanks for your encouragement!
