Professional resources I value

I would rather point you toward a smaller set of useful places than overwhelm you with a giant list. These are resources I have found valuable for thinking about teaching, learning, engagement, and classroom culture.

Cult of PedagogyPractical teaching ideas, classroom culture, and thoughtful professional learning.

EdutopiaResearch-informed ideas across instruction, project-based learning, SEL, and school practice.

The Learning ScientistsClear, accessible work on memory, retrieval, spacing, and the science of learning.

Responsive ClassroomResources centered on community, relationships, student responsibility, and effective classroom practice.

Kagan Cooperative LearningStructures for participation, collaboration, movement, and student talk.

Ron Clark AcademyHigh-energy examples of culture, engagement, expectations, and memorable learning experiences.

More is coming

As the Be A Funky Teacher podcast library grows on this site, this page will also become a better gateway to topic-based resources, episode collections, and practical tools.
