Welcome to eledblog.com! As our motto states, we created this web site as a place for educators to gather, share and learn. More specifically we want to create a place where educators can build community, share their stories through blogs and comments, engage in discussions within the forums, find current educational news, post and retrieve lesson plans, and explore a world of resources available on the internet. Although our focus is on elementary education, we welcome all teachers, administrators, and specialists. Elementary Education Blog - eledblog.com, is free to use, and it is our sincere hope educators take full advantage of the opportunity. Please join us and help us build this educational community.

ElEdBlog Introduces Groups!

Group of teachers in a professional learning community.

Dear Professionals, Colleagues and Friends,

We would like to introduce you EledBlog Groups. ElEdBlog Groups are designed to allow educators to gather in small, more specialized communities with common goals. For example, a state educational association can create a group. District employees can create a group, as can an individual school. Specialists, such as PE, librarians, or bilingual teachers could create a group. Even a grade band, grade level, or a grade-level team within a building could create a group. A cohort of student teachers could create a group too. You get the idea. Groups are only limited by your imagination!

Family engagement at high poverty schools can poise a great challenge to educators, but also much hope for improvement and empowerment of parents and students. At my school, one way we improve the school to home connection and increase family engagement involves visiting students in their homes, home visits.

Having recently received my Washington State teaching certificate (last spring), I've been spending the last few weeks applying for teaching positions in the greater Seattle area. I'm very excited about a couple of the recent ones I applied to and I look forward to the interviewing process, and hopefully, a meaningful teaching experience and gainful employment.

Together we want to build a community of learners and educators with the goal of a better education for everyone.
