This week’s #BloggerMondays blog is The Tempered Radical [1] by Bill Ferriter, a sixth-grade teacher from Raleigh, North Carolina. Ferriter shares his experiences as a classroom teacher openly, highlighting his good days and bad.
If you want to get a quick sense of his blog, check out the post titled “This is Why I Teach: Long Days. Lots of Smiles [2].” In addition to his classroom teaching, Ferriter is also an expert on professional learning communities and integrating technology meaningfully into instructional practice. He has authored a number of books [3] on these areas and others. Most importantly, The tempered Radical provides valuable examples of best practice for classroom teachers and administrators at all levels.
