You probably haven’t noticed it, but there is a little number at the top of the Tip every week—the issue number. Every week it goes up by one. This week is the 800th Tip! Wow. The 800th time the Tip has been delivered on a Friday morning.
It is an honor and a privilege to be read by educators all over the world every week, and we do not take it for granted. We work hard to provide you with what you want and need each week, and we still have things to write about even after 15-plus years!
The world of education is fast and always changing. New research, new programs, new education gurus . . . Everyone is trying to make sure we do what is best for student learning—and we here at Teach Daily are no exception.
Practices from the Daily 5 Framework and CAFE Literacy System are now part of a teaching and learning approach called Prepared Classroom. Evidence-based practice and research, along with ever-changing teacher and student needs, inform and drive our approach. Our systems look different today from how they did in years past.
We thought this 800th Tip would be a perfect time to reflect on where we were then and where we are now.
Take a look.
The above changes didn’t happen overnight, and because we are always learning, we will continue to evolve. Stagnant is not in our vocabulary.
Want to know more about some of the current practices in the “now” column? We will continue to share about Prepared Classroom in our weekly Tip and through our professional development offerings.
