Welcome to Writing Ethos
I traded the confines and four walls of the traditional classroom setting to teach remotely while traveling the country in my RV and writing about my journey.
Now, I am taking field trips across the country to explore the charming towns, grand cities, majestic forests, snug parks, and picturesque scenery along the way.
I want to inspire teachers to discover the freedom of teaching from anywhere!
Teach
As the education landscape began to shift and remote learning rapidly evolved, I saw an opportunity to reimagine my teaching career. In 2022, after fifteen years in traditional classrooms, I made the leap to online teaching—and it’s been transformative. Now, I’m passionate about helping other K-12 educators explore the immense potential of virtual education. Whether you’re ready to leave the classroom or simply curious about online teaching, this space is for you. Here, I share practical strategies for transitioning to remote education, thoughtful insights on its many rewards, and adaptable lesson ideas for both virtual and in-person teaching. Together, we’ll navigate this evolving remote educational landscape and uncover what’s possible when we embrace change.

Hello!
I am a former classroom teacher, recent empty nester, newbie RVer, and aspiring writer.
After finding myself at a significantly pivotal time in my life, I had a choice to make. I faced a career challenge that forced me to contemplate my future, and I saw an opportunity.
I love teaching, but after twelve years in the public school setting, I knew that if I wanted to make a difference, I would need to leave the classroom for good.
So I did.
Now, I am teaching remotely and traveling the country.
