Not only does Skip get it, he continually examines what we do in order to understand it even more deeply. His joy in the discovery is contagious. He follows his passions, as a teacher and as a human being. It is an honor and a privilege to know him and to work with him.
Skip also has a deep commitment to the power of the family, whether it be his own, or the teaching community as a family. If you are ever feeling lost, away from home, or wondering where your place might be in this world, spend some time with the Crosbys; they will bring you home.
with love,
Laurie
YES! Of course! Skip! I echo everything MB and Laurie said. Skip is one of the most generous, kind open-hearted people I know. He is 100% no shadow of a doubt all about allowing each student to shine. His presence and sincerity make you feel like you’ve known him forever. I cannot wait to see him in his classroom in a few weeks!!!
…his presence and sincerity make you feel like you’ve known him forever….
I felt exactly the same thing, jen….
And another thing is he has been doing that conference for so long! Like a decade.
btw…this line you wrote cracked me up:
“He is a teacher’s teacher with a Master’s degree from Middlebury but without the snarkiness. ”
… because I did not know Skip and I were “Midd-sibs” 😉
Just love when I read the blog and see my friends being honored.
Skip so deserves this honor.
He has been working in the trenches so long and has done so much to promote/support the cause of CI and help other teachers, new and veterans alike.
He just is amazing….
Congratulations Skip!
Congratulations, Skip! I’m hoping that we can develop a similar thing here in Chicagoland. I’d like to learn more from Skip and his experience.
If anybody can pull it off Diane, you can. And you have Sean there. And those others like Eric and that strong and growing Chicago crowd. Teri might be able to come up. Sabrina would help, it’s not a long flight from Denver. I suggest you go for it. Start planning. It’s a two day deal on a Friday and Saturday and they do it in the fall.
So do talk to the Maine Man. I’ve met few like him on this particular planet. Too bad his Patriots have to come in here to Denver this weekend and take a drubbing.
Thanks, Ben! Skip, I’m going to look for your email in the PLC list.
Congratulations, Skip. Very well deserved.
Congratulations, Skip. You are definitely an excellent choice.
The 2 Maine conferences I’ve attended have been transformative for me as a person, let alone as a teacher. Skip puts his heart and soul into producing the conference every year and I appreciate that so much. Thank you and congratulations, Skip!
Skip is my soul brother. Sincere, kind, indefatigable. I owe my career to him and to Ben. We in Maine are so fortunate to have Skip in our midst. Great choice, Ben.
I put out a request for curriculum mapping advice and my mailbox filled up with lots of info from…Skip. His generosity of spirit, gregarious personality, and sincere interest in people make being around him like experiencing a big warm hug. I am a fan and thanks to this amazing CI clan, I am proud to know him and call him a dear colleague. Great choice, Ben. Hooray for Skip!
Thanks for the heads up mb….
I am honored! Thank you Ben and mb for the encouraging words! Thank you to all who commented above.
I am so grateful to all those who have been so nurturing and helpful to me during my TCI journey.
10 years ago I was seriously thinking of quitting… it was just too painful. Now I can honestly say that each I get to spend with students is a joy! I feel so fortunate to be able to spend my day the way I do….. That is the gift that the TCI community has given to me…
thank you again,
Skip
