how to do a family raclette dinner: make it fun, special, memorable
Because we are huge fans of family fondue nights, when I heard about Raclette, I knew I had to give it a try. I knew we needed to have a family raclette dinner! “Raclette” is the name of a semi-hard Swiss cheese which, for centuries, was thickly sliced and then melted over a fire. Now, of course, we can bag the fire and use a special grill to melt the cheese and make the meal. Just like there are about a million ways to “do fondue”, there are a ton of ways to “do raclette” … [Read more...]

how professional development for educators has changed and where it needs to go

And if yesterday’s order of things can change so dramatically, then it’s well within our power as people and as a community to decide what tomorrow should look like. In that spirit, Tomorrow, powered by Remake Learning, is a … [Read more...]
