I loved the Bread Loaf School of English program at Middlebury College. It's a unique summer program leading to a Masters in English, catering almost entirely to English teachers. So the class conversations are literary, but somehow it's all infused with teaching ideas, since it's almost all teachers in every room. Through this program, I spent two summers in Vermont, two in Santa Fe, and one in Oxford. I'd be happy to talk about it here, in today's episode on masters programs, but I already shared a complete review, from my perspective, of The Bread Loaf School back in episode 223, so I'm going to direct you over to that episode if you're looking for a masters in English right now that you can do in person while you teach. But then there's the other option for an English teacher - a masters in the field of education. There are soooo many possibilities that it's a bit hard to know where to start. So here I'm going to round up some top candidates that I considered when I recently decided to go back and get a second masters. They all appeal in different ways. In the blog post, I'll let you know the name of the program, the format, the length, the description as given on the program website, and the current deadline to apply that they have listed for the nine programs I considered. In the podcast version, I'm going to zoom in on my personal top candidates. I'll also share links in this blog post and the podcast show notes to the many ongoing conversations on masters programs always taking place in Creative High School English, and to the U.S. News and World Report Rankings for top programs.

The Courier smiled as he deposited the two catalogues on our door-step – he knows we're Nature Nerds, and so do the lovely folk at Kings Seeds. We both settled in front of the fireplace, going through the Nurture/Nourish reading. I was checking all the tomato varieties and other food delicacies, while Juuls browsed all the pretty stuff in Kings Seeds line-up. Always interesting to see how two people focus on the plant species that is close to their Heart, Art, and Stomach! I kept my Tomato wishes in the same group it's always been: Bloody Butcher and Tigerella, while sniffing around the Cherry Tomatoes in all their magnificent colours. Last March I managed to harvest the seeds of Tomato Gardeners delight, so those are also ready to be sown, along with Black Krim and Tessaloniki and some more tomato seeds living in my shed. Now it is a matter of sorting out where they'll go in the tunnel house. Watermelon Sugar Baby is something I haven't grown for far too long – it's a yummy dessert! Remarkably, Julie decided to interfere in my choices by flagging the tomatoes Brandy Wine Pink and Kellogs Breakfast. This feels like an attack on my tunnel house too. But then again, she reckons that beefsteak tomatoes are very useful when cooking! She's right, of course! Her Botanical knowledge is quite amazing and going through a catalogue is like re-arranging the garden: Aster King Size Apricot feels like one of those new varieties that she needs to try. I reckon it's probably decades old and had (so far) escaped her attention – it's pink! Talking about "pink": How about a Banana ornamental Pink! Julie has always loved Cosmos. She just fell in love with the Cosmos double click Rose Bon bon simply because it is part of "creative writing" – something that English Teachers really appreciate. Rose Pink Blooms with multiple layers of ruffled petals -what's not to like? Lysimachia Beaujolais is something I cannot remember having seen before. It's a stunning plant that looks like it would dominate the borders in your garden with dark wine-coloured flowers on spikes. I look forward to Julie's decision of where to plant it. Poppy Amazing Grey is not your regular bright red poppy, but a purple-grey variety that would work well with a coloured background. This is a great flower to experiment with. As is often the case with poppies, keep the seeds for a few weeks in the fridge before sowing. I was invited to take a close look at a new Thalictrum, Thalictrum White – “Just want to point out this plant will be attracting bees and other Entomological critters”. I reckon I should go out at night and bathe the pure white flowers in UV Torch-light! Zinnia elegans is a group of wonderful cut flowers in amazing colours. Have a look at the Kings Seeds Catalogue: 20 different varieties giving your garden surprising powers of accent. Zinnia Queen Lime blush ended up as Julie's choice of 2025/26. Lime coloured! Finally we agreed on a regular food item for Spring, Summer, and Autumn: a decent type of Lettuce, Lettuce Little Caesar. But this one? Honestly? Gotta be English! Organic Pumpkin New England Pie.

It's back-to-school week! This week, we will be releasing two episodes featuring educator storytellers as they begin another year, helping our students grow. Our first set of guests is a couple of good friends and fellow teachers in the state of Iowa, Kari Straube and Nicole Lenius! Join us as we discuss how we build the next generation of storytellers, how we help students become vulnerable and open to improvement, and how we build their confidence through feedback. We hope you enjoy our peek behind the curtain into some classrooms this week as many schools everywhere start up their fall semester. Storytime: The Puppy Barfing Story *As a small side note, Charlie, the star of Kari's story, crossed the rainbow bridge between the time of recording and the time of this episode's release. We're sorry for Kari's loss, and we hope Charlie is now somewhere where his food bowl is always full.

Grading essays can be overwhelming, especially with a large class. In this episode, I share how I used ChatGPT to provide detailed, consistent, and unbiased feedback on my middle school students' writing. I'll walk you through the exact process I used, how it saved me hours of grading time, and why my students actually found the feedback more helpful than traditional comments.
