It sure is and for teachers that doesn’t mean flat out rest! We are busy – working, thinking, planning, learning, reading – you name it! (Some of my teacher-friends and I even did some homework last night: research on how to avoid being a Bad Teacher if you catch my drift. )

Yes, summer is a great time for teachers because it means we have autonomy over our professional development. Check out what’s available through The Inspired Classroom this summer by checking out our latest eNewsletter. (click the megaphone)

Enjoy!

This month, the The Inspired Classroom will be officially starting two new ways to get in touch with teachers – newsletters and field trips!

The first newsletter is set to be sent out on Thursday 11/5. It will be a short intro to TIC (The Inspired Classroom) and hopefully will spark interest and help the network (http://the-inspired-classroom.socialgo.com) gain more membership. Anyone who is interested in submitting articles, both short and long, are encouraged to email submissions to newsletter@theinspiredclassroom.com.

Our first ever Teacher Field Trip will be held on 11/13. We will be going out dancing in Boston and we already have some interested teachers! The way I figure, in order for us teachers to be inspired, we need to get inspired and part of that is to feed our own creativity.

This is only the beginning, though! In the future TIC hopes to organize field trips to the symphone, to local poetry slams, museums, ropes courses – you name it! If we don’t take care of our own creative sides, how can we do that for our students??

Needless to say I am excited! This is the beginning of a new page for TIC. So, help spread the word, get online, share your ideas, get inspired and be inspiring! That’s what it is all about!!
