It has become the central hub for learning for many classrooms, connecting students and teachers alike.

    Troy Hicks Associate Professor of English Education, Former Middle School Teacher (Central Michigan University)     Segment I – Background and Inspiration   Tell your story. Where are you from and how long have you been teaching? What classes have you taught?    – Troy teaches at Central Michigan University. He is also involved in the National Writing Project in his area in Michigan.  To backtrack, he graduated from MSU and taught middle school at a rural school in Concord, Michigan. He eventually went back to MSU to earn his graduate degree and eventually made his way into higher education.     Who has helped you in your journey to become a master teacher?    – He had a mentor from Day 1 at his middle school in Concord. Chris Miller was the 7th grade science teacher and Troy was the 7th grade Language Arts teacher.  Chris was focused on the students. He would joke that he was so student-focused that he didn't begin teaching science until mid-September. When Troy was deciding to stay in the classroom or going to graduate school to pursue Education, Chris gave him the most timely and sympathetic encouragement to pursue goals beyond the four walls of the school.     It is important for other teachers to know that we all have had setbacks in the classroom. Identify an instance in which you struggled as a teacher and explain what you learned from that experience.   – He felt he had read all the right books during his undergraduate experience about reading and writing workshops. When he got into teaching, like many first and second year teachers, suddenly the book became his curriculum. He eventually learned to let go and give students more choice. Ultimately he learned to strike a balance between what he had to do that was mandated by the curriculum and what he felt the students needed or wanted to do.   Why is literacy important? – Troy believes that if we don't frame literacy as a thinking process, then it is really difficult to make the case for literacy with math, science and social studies. We want students to be critical thinker and have substantive conversations.    What is one thing that you love about the classroom?    – The thing that he talks about with his pre-service students and what he took away from his middle school years is the moment of discovery. To sit with a student, conference with him or her, and see the lightbulb go off, is a small moment that he really values.   Segment II — Digging into the Teacher Bag of Goodies While there are a number of classics, Troy tends to recommend the book that he is reading at the moment.Thrive: 5 Ways to (Re)Invigorate Your Teaching is a book that he reviewed. It is written by Meenoo Rami, a young, energetic teacher that is doing great things in the classroom. He found it refreshing, clear and concise.    What is one thing a teacher can do outside the classroom that can pay off inside the classroom? -- Troy believes that you have to take time for yourself. Put it on your calendar because you might not do it. make time to read. Watch the show you've been meaning to watch. Go for walks. You have to invest in yourself .  Is there an internet resource that you can recommend which will help teachers grow professionally? – www.digitalis.nwp.org has layer upon layer of resources. The NWP Digital Is website is an emerging and open knowledge base created and curated by its community of members. We gather resources, collections, reflections, inquiries, and stories about what it means to learn and teach writing in our increasingly digital and interconnected world.    Provide a writing practice that is effective?  – One minute of conferencing is worth 15 minutes of comments on the paper.

(RE)INVIGORATING YOUR TEACHING Menoo Rami, author of THRIVE, is our guest Thank you  Heinemann Publishing for publishing Meenoo's book. Great stuff for teachers of all ages and experience 

Meenoo Rami English teacher, author of Thrive (Science Leadership -- Philadelphia, PA)  www.meenoorami.org  Resource of the Week: www.commonlit.org  It was founded in December by a group of about 15 former middle school reading teachers who are current graduate students at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. It thinks scripted curricula disempowers teachers, so Common Lit provides four valuable functions: 1) It collects the best supplemental texts for middle school curricula, 2) It negotiates the copyright permissions to disseminate these texts, and 3) It formats, levels, and organizes these texts by theme, and 4) It puts them online so that teachers can download and print them immediately--no paywalls or subscriptions or "district codes." (email me your favorite resource talkswithteachers@gmail.com)    Segment I – Background and Inspiration   Tell your story. Where are you from and how long have you been teaching? What classes have you taught?  – Meenoo started teaching in 2006 in Philadelphia, where she teaches to this day. She was blown away by the conditions and behaviors, when she first stepped into classrooms. She was a philosophy and English major at Temple and went back to get her Master's because she did not want to give up on urban education.  Who has helped you in your journey to become a master teacher?  – She believes that we have different mentors at different points in life and in our careers. She had great high school English teachers and she credits her boss, Chris Lehman, for empowering her to take risks in the classroom.  It is important for other teachers to know that we all have had setbacks in the classroom. Identify an instance in which you struggled as a teacher and explain what you learned from that experience. – Just moments before the interview, in her class, Storytelling, students are focusing on storytelling and good game design. Her students have to design a game and see if a narrative emerges from that. Some games are going amazingly well and some are just not working. She believes that when you do truly creative work you have to task risks and fail in order to succeed. What do you love about the Language Arts? – The more she teaches and experiences the world the less focused on content she becomes. She is more focused on the way her students think, how they collaborate, the methods of their inquiry. She loves the way in which she get to empower her students to tell their stories. See the example of her students' teen magazine HERE. What is one thing that you love about the classroom?  – A big transition that she made was that when she first started teaching it was about "I" and "them." Now, she thinks of her classroom as "we." What are we going after, what questions do we have? What challenges are we tackling? Segment II — Digging into the Teacher Bag of Goodies    What book do you recommend to a developing teacher?  -- Thrive: 5 Ways to (Re)Invigorate Your Teaching attempts to re-write the current narrative about what it means to be a teacher in 2014. It offers practical strategies for teachers to direct their own learning, to find their way to improve their practice in the classroom. It shows you how to find mentors, how to plug into networks, and how to keep your work intellectually challenging.    What is one thing a teacher can do outside the classroom that can pay off inside the classroom? -- Meenoo talks about this in the book. Teachers need to take breaks from the grading, planning, etc. We need to read the books, attend the concerts, see the films and participate in the dinner parties so that we can nourish our own interests and passions. Having a diverse set of experiences makes us more complete as teachers.   Is there an internet resource that you can recommend which will help teacher...
