Time for a quick confession:  I have been struggling with a challenge . . .  a huge challenge.  For years I have researched instruction, curriculum, and assessment in every subject area of the PK-8 curriculum.  Now, after 26 years in the classroom, as a practitioner, I am still not satisfied with my instruction.  How can this be?  Shouldn’t my job be clockwork?  Shouldn’t I have this “teaching” thing down to a “T“?  Ugh!!  I struggle!!
