The Best Articles I’ve Written In 2021

 

I haven’t written many articles this year outside of blog posts here and for Education Week.

As most teachers understand, the 2021 classroom has taken a lot more energy from educators than it usually does!

Katie Hull and I did finish the second edition of the ESL/ELL Teacher’s Survival Guide, and that will be out in early April.

I did write a series of columns this year for The Washington Post, primarily on the pandemic.  Here they are:

• A teacher’s deepest fears about 2021: Students who disappeared, covid-19 myopia and six more
• Teacher: What’s missing from calls for summer school to stem ‘learning loss’
• Thirteen things that should happen in schools now — but most probably won’t
• The kind of teaching kids need right now
• The pandemic is affecting the third straight school year — and this teacher is very, very worried
• Teacher: 10 things school districts should do right now
• There was a lot of education news in 2021. Here’s the best and worst of it — by a veteran teacher

I also wrote what I thought was a particularly useful Ed Week piece last spring: Ten Ways I’ll Be Teaching Differently Next Year.

8 1/2 Things That Have Been Working This Year & 6 That Haven’t is another Ed Week column I wrote.
