Welcome!

What do effective educators need to know and be able to do?

‘Effective Classrooms… we’re creating them!’ meet-ups connect educators working to build vibrant and highly effective classrooms and schools. We’ll start with our experiences, creating think-tanks to research and creatively think through what effectiveness looks like in our contexts. We’ll think through tangible action-steps. We’ll think through educational philosophy.

We are an asset-based, solution-oriented group tapping into our collective wisdom, power, and creativity. Whether you’re struggling and feel ineffective, or a master educator, you are welcome and your experiences and ideas benefit the group!

I'm a teacher, looking to build a community of educators who want to unleash student literacy and creativity!

We’ll study engagement, student motivation, management, classroom language and atmosphere, effective instruction, assessment, relationship building, authenticity, equity, and more.

If you’re a passionate and committed teacher, administrator, teacher-educator, educational policy maker, staff developer, or someone committed to effective and innovative public education, check us out!
