5 (More) Top Teacher Blogs We Love

Teaching is one of those rare jobs that allows you the free time to enjoy your favorite hobbies and work on side projects.

Said no teacher ever.

That’s why we are majorly impressed by any teacher who has the energy and makes the time to run their own blog. Teacher bloggers are a passionate bunch!

Because we know you love a good teacher blog just as much as we do, here are five fantastic blogs where you can find resources, inspiration, and some laughs along the way.

The IgnitED Teacher

Urban math teachers – this is your blog!

Michelle Williams, the founder of IgnitED, got her start after dealing with years of frustrations with traditional professional development. The problem? The strategies and resources she received didn’t apply to urban educators.

In her own words, Michelle says,

“I help math teachers who teach either special education and 504 students, or below grade level learners. These teachers love their students but may not have the instructional to increase their achievement levels.

They generally try all of the cute ideas that the school district personnel provides for them. Only to realize later that the students showed minimal academic progress.”

Love, Teach

If you need to spend some time with someone who gets you, stop here. What began as an anonymous teaching blog that started the first week of Kelly Treleaven’s career teaching middle school English later evolved into a best-selling book that prompted her to share her identity.

Start anywhere on Kelly’s blog – we dare you not to laugh. You’ll find posts about all the highs and lows of teaching, including tips for self-care and how to make it through the tough days (breakfast burritos, anyone?).
