ED Thoughts: Education Views and Support

Hi, I’m Paul Nolan and I’m a teacher.  I love education.  There are so many great things about being a teacher.  The students are great (although sometimes there are challenges) but the challenge of discerning the most relevant and effective ways to teach content and skills; adjusting that for each learner; and having to stay on your toes are why I do what I do!

I am always thinking about education, both within my classroom and larger policy issues.  I also am always looking for ways to make things better in the profession.  Policy, plans, methods, research… all of this is interesting to me.  I started this blog in 2007 because I wanted a place to share my ideas and thoughts.  Nothing here are things I wouldn’t say in public anyway, so in 2011 I have decided to go public and not blog anonymously anymore.

In addition to writing about my own practice and experiences in teaching, I also provide staff member coaching, professional development presentations and planning; and strategic planning for teachers, schools, and districts.  My goal is to support schools to improve education from the classroom to the district level.  Contact me if you are interested in working together on a project, issue, etc….
