Philosophy

We are teachers who write and writers who teach. We are professionals who seek out other professionals to create an engaged learning community.

We believe in professional collaboration that starts with human connection and challenges us to find and enact the highest potential in our students and ourselves.

We believe in teaching as a community endeavor, not an isolated activity in a single classroom but work made better through conversation, shared writing, and revision–much like the act of writing itself.
