After a prolonged hiatus, I am thrilled to announce the revival of this educational blog! Life’s demands, continuing education, and the joys of raising young children took precedence over maintaining this platform, but the time has come to breathe new life into it.
What led me to revisit this blog after all these years? In short, it was persistent requests and encouragement from colleagues, fellow educators, and participants in the College Board-endorsed APSIs that I have had the privilege of leading in the last few months. Their eagerness to learn, grow, and connect inspired me to resurrect Kirk’s Corner as a collaborative space to exchange ideas and find resources for easy classroom implementation. I sincerely hope to create a space where teachers can find a wealth of resources and a variety of voices for instructional development and delivery.
Though the focus will predominantly be AP Language and Composition, this blog will serve as a hub for educators looking to enhance their instructional practices and empower their students in all classes and levels. From lesson plans and teaching strategies to assessment tools and professional development insights, this blog will offer a comprehensive range of resources to support teachers on their journey — and entries will be created based on reader requests. Recognizing the value of collaboration in the teaching community, I aim to foster a conversation through the blog’s comment section. I hope you feel free to use the comment section as an interactive platform — build networks, seek advice, and share resources.
It’s a new chapter. If you join me in growth, inspiration, and collaboration, our community will be one of passionate, dedicated educators who make a positive impact on the lives of their students.
…and lucky for me, the blog’s been holding a huge stash of drafted entries.
