Hello! I am looking for two new Texas teachers (0-5 years) who would be interested in participating in a study I am doing as a Doctoral Candidate at Baylor. The study looks to understand the experiences women working in the field of education have had that triggered shame and explore their resilience.

Poetry. Sharon Olds, Yehuda Amichai, W.H. Auden, Wallace Stevens, Sylvia Plath, Naomi Shihab Nye are some of my favorites. This is likely a controversial opinion in the academic world, but skip the long poems and read the very short ones. That’s where the craft is - at least the craft we need for this job.

I’ve always liked books from Michael Lewis (The Blind Side, The Big Short). I feel that his writing style and storytelling complement each other well and wouldn’t be surprised if I’ve subconsciously picked up a few good writing practices from him.
