I have become an inconsistent writer in recent years, but you can find my writing about teaching at skylarp.medium.com, where I usually write for the Greater Madison Writing Project or McGraw Hill’s Art of Teaching.

I look forward to continuing to grow my professional network here!

I also coach for @teacherpowered.bsky.social to help spread student-centered, teacher-driven practices, and have served on the boards for the Wisconsin Association for Environmental Education and @humrespro.bsky.social.

For 15+ years, I’ve taught in place- and project-based schools in Wisconsin, and I currently serve as lead teacher at Koshkonong Trails School, a small, public charter with an environmental and agricultural focus for middle and high school students.

👋🏻 I'm Skylar. Former geologist, current teacher leader. I’m into place-based education, outdoor learning, teacher leadership, and student voice. Also birds, bugs, and lichen. I grew up in New Orleans but have lived in Wisconsin since 2003.

I mean, it’s very clear that there are no rules against rewriting history any more. I vote you retroactively change the name.

And maybe we should all get to know this one better, too. At this point, would being forced to house troops feel all that surprising?

Call for proposals is open NOW - closing March 31st. For more information, check out: www.teacherpowered.org/conference-2...

I look forward to learning with you in October! 🍂

Just to be clear here, “the left” does not include the goddam Democrats.
