Why am I doing this?

When I recently retired after 29 years of teaching, I knew that I had so much information that made classroom teaching successful and I wanted to share it with others. I found out that after being chosen Teacher of the Year for my school and a top 10 finalist for my district, that my ideas worked for many different fields and not just the one that I taught in. As other teachers throughout my school and the district sought out my advice and ideas, I found myself repeating information to different people and felt that there had to be a better way of getting these strategies out to others. My main goal is to help other teachers have successful teaching experiences so they will continue to be happy effective teachers. A big problem throughout our educational system is retaining effective teachers and this is one way for me to do my part.
