Kate Klingensmith

Kate Klingensmith, USA, K-12

My brief, yet incredible, experience in the classroom ended after I resigned from teaching after 4 years. I had been thinking that I could possibly make more of a change from the innovation side of education, rather than in the classroom. I taught Biology, Physics and Anatomy at an incredible charter school called YES, in Houston, before working for an education startup in San Francisco called Inigral, Inc.

I have a degree in Brain and Cognitive Science from MIT (’02), with a strong interest in learning theory and cognitive architecture, and I’m hoping to apply what I’ve learned over the past 10 years to figuring some things out. So far, the most important lesson that I can share is that social networking can play a huge role in education by allowing both teachers and students to build their own Personal Learning Network.

We are social animals and we thrive through interaction with others - I'm hoping that K-12 teachers everywhere will jump on board with this idea, and their students will ultimately see greater progress and success.

Alan J Wright
Would you take piano lessons from someone who didn't actually play the piano? It is the same for teaching writing. I can't think of anything more powerful to do than to allow your students to see you commit to the same challenges they face as writers.

Writing with your students makes you credible as a teacher of writing. You instantly become a partner in the learning journey. Like these young writers you will understand the challenge of the blank page. Sit among them and write! Write in front of them. Share your writing thoughts and ideas.

Think aloud about writing and watch them take up writing challenges with renewed conviction. This is the only way to create a sense of community in the classroom. Celebrate together those constant triumphs, no matter how small they may appear to be. This blog aims to share the journey towards becoming an effective teacher of writing.
