Today’s topic again focuses on another valuable teacher freebie, and free is in my price range. How about you? Today’s post gives each of us a rare professional development opportunity – learning from other teachers who teach the same curriculum as you. Think about it. Wouldn’t the idea of having just a first grade teacher conference be phenomenal? How about a drama teacher conference? Or one for middle school English teachers? What sort of conversations would you have? What resources would you share?
Now think about the possibility of peering inside another teacher’s classroom to see what wonderful projects and activities were happening. Could you take an idea or two back to your room? Absolutely! That’s the power of following educational blogs.
What I’ve pulled for you today are blogs divided by subject and grade level for you to quickly reference, but I do encourage you to explore blogs outside of your curriculum, as well. Some are classroom blogs. Others are teacher reflections. A few are teaching strategies with classroom resources, and there are even some from outside education, but relate to your curriculum.
I cannot guarantee you will be able to reference all of these blogs while at school, as I am aware many school filters limit access to blogs. Please, do not let that discourage you from investigating, however. Take the time to check these out. Hopefully you will find inspiration and wonderful ideas.
If you own a blog or know of another one that would fall under this list, please consider adding it to the comments. The better the list, the better we all will benefit.
