Setting out: my Module 1 reflection
Edpuzzle, the Candidate Handbook, and the InTASC standards — three maps for one journey.
One journey, one classroom
I've taught abroad. I've stood in front of classrooms in places where the gap between what students have and what they deserve is impossible to ignore — and I found I could do something about it. What I couldn't do was name why certain things worked, or why some didn't. Teach-Now is how I build that language: eight courses, ten standards, and the credentials to teach anywhere with the kind of intention the work demands.
