A Round Up of My Favorite Teacher Blogs

The teaching community is so inspiring and super helpful. I don’t know about you whenever I need an idea or a creative way to teach a topic, I turn to Pinterest. Often, my answer to whatever question I have is on a teacher blog. The other space I’ve found tons of innovative ideas is Instagram. Through this community, I’ve met teachers across the US and even in other countries who have become more like friends. These people just get it because they’re living it day in and day out just like me. I try to talk to my husband or my family and friends about teaching things but they just can’t fully understand what it’s like to teach little people the way a teacher does.

I wanted to compile a list of some amazing teachers who have blogs filled with ideas, motivation and teachers who just get what it’s like teaching in today’s world. This list is broken down by grade level and specialty so you can find what you’re looking for. These teacher blogs are so amazing, so get grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine depending on when you’re reading this) and prepare to get lost in a whirlwind of inspiration.
