It
was by chance that educator Carol Ann Tomlinson first entered the classroom, but
this fortunate accident blossomed into a career that has spanned several
decades. In a recent Educational Leadership article, Tomlinson reflects on her
professional experience and shares the five principles and components of
effective teaching that became the pillars of her career. Read the full article.
Great link, Gayla. As someone for whom teaching is a second career, I can appreciate Carol Ann's sense of backing into her calling to the classroom. It is interesting to note that her five "pillars" are all conscious choices of attitude or outlook. Excellent advice for new educators.
