Hello! Welcome to Byrdseed.
I’m Ian. You can read more about me here.
My main goal is to help you be a more successful teacher, particularly when it comes to reaching your most advanced students.
Are you overwhelmed?
Of course you are. It’s the number one complaint of all teachers. Yet conferences, workshops, professional development, and books all end up giving you more work to do. I’m really focused on removing work for teachers.
Here are some articles with this theme of doing less:
- If you’re overwhelmed: you don’t need more ideas, you need solutions.
- Don’t make “on-level,” “struggling,” and “advanced” tasks. Differentiate like a playground.
- If there’s a scaffold, don’t differentiate it. Just remove it!
Ultimately, I’d love for you to try my library of video lessons over at Byrdseed.TV. It’s my full time job. And it’s very popular because, yes, it actually takes work off of your plate!
