Dear colleague,
I just finished recording an interview that I'm excited to share with you later this week. It's a long-form conversation with a dear friend, and its core themes are curiosity, experimentation, and progress.
It got me thinking.
At a time of the school year when it can start to be hard to remember a time when I wasn't exhausted at the end of the day, I just want to ask you a question:
- What's something you're curious about right now?
Let me know in the comments.
I'm curious. 
Teaching right beside you,
DSJR

I’m curious about who you interviewed.
Dana says
I’m curious about how to fully implement restorative justice in the classroom at sites that execute retributive justice currently. Not saying this is my district, just curious.
Lin says
I’m curious how to close achievement gaps that continue to widen.
David Reese says
Out of all the ways I’m trying to replace what Cornel West calls “cheap schooling” with “deep education,” what, if anything, is resonating with my students?
Dan Van Sickle says
I’ve just read a book called “Golden: The Power of Silence in a World of Noise” – and I’m curious how to implement moments of genuine silence (MGS
in my classroom in meaningful ways. There’s so much “noise” (the authors break it down into three categories – auditory, informational, and internal) – how do we cut through this to get to the “signal” that’s most meaningful in our classrooms?!
Melissa Rogers says
I’m curious about how to identify priorities in the classroom and how to make peace with what I have to let go of.
Kelly Redies says
Long-time English teacher here teaching Spanish 1 for the first time. I’m using Comprehensible Input. I’m curious about the impact of the practice of using actions for key vocabulary on language acquisition. I have one group that has bought into using the actions for key vocabulary. The other group has not. I’m curious about how the resistance of the second group may impact their level of acquisition. I’m also curious about why they haven’t bought into this strategy as much as the other class, and about what I can do to increase their buy-in.

Honestly, I’m curious about how to use AI to make my workflow easier. I just don’t have the time to play with it right now to figure it out, alas. Already working over 50-60 hours a week just to keep my head above water, and most of that is stuff AI can’t do (like grading papers).
