I presented earlier this year at the Big Ideas Fest in California on the idea of teacherpreneurship, a concept I helped to develop in co-authoring the book, Teaching 2030 and one that is gaining some momentum these days. The video of that presentation is forthcoming.
Until then, here is a teaser video about this year’s fest that can serve as proof that I was there…
While at the conference I was interviewed by KQED. A clip of that interview, in which I talk about the need for a teacher career track is posted here on Mindshift. And you can watch it right here (amusing opening frame…):
Ariel Sacks began her 13-year teaching career in New York City public schools after earning her master’s degree at Bank Street College and has taught and coached in grades 7-9. She is the author of Whole Novels for the Whole Class: A Student Centered Approach (Jossey-Bass, 2014) and writes a teaching column for Education Week Teacher.
Ariel’s work as a teacher leader with the Center for Teaching Quality involved her in co-authoring Teaching 2030: What We Must Do For Our Public Schools – Now and in the Future. She was also featured in the CTQ book Teacherpreneurs: Innovative Teachers Who Lead Without Leaving.
She is currently working on a book about the role of creative writing in equitable, 21st century schools, and she speaks and leads workshops on the whole novels approach.
