My name is Renée Schuls-Jacobson. A teacher for 20 years, I love being in the classroom, find my students endlessly fascinating, and believe the most important thing we can do is teach folks to read critically and write masterfully.

The mother to a busy middle school-aged son, these days I find myself scribbling ideas for blogs on napkins and scraps of paper.

And then I lose them.

My family and my students keep me humble and serve to remind me that, even on a good day, I’m still a total twit.
