TANNER NICKEL

Hello!

Thanks for stopping by my education blog. I started this site in March 2020 as an opportunity to share my life as an IB educator in a small school setting and have found it to be an excellent reflective tool. I hope to share PYP lesson ideas to give you inspiration, as well as unit overviews for the MYP. In the past few years, I have spent countless hours browsing educator blogs for these exact same topics and believe we can all benefit from more ideas to challenge ourselves and keep evolving our teaching practices.
