Hi there 👋🏻 I’m Cailyn, and I’ve shared

Hi there 👋🏻

I’m Cailyn, and I’ve shared here and there that I’ve been on a journey with chronic illness over the past few years, specifically since my pregnancy with my youngest. POTS and hypermobility have changed a lot about my life, but can’t stop my fight for inclusive practices in the classroom!

I used to tell anyone who would listen that teaching is like a performance, you have to play up some of your eccentricities and captivate your audience to engage them with your content, and often this looked like me singing, dancing, and standing on my desk, etc 😂🤪

I can still sprinkle those days in when my symptoms are under control, but most days look like this now, where I am grading on the floor during my prep and taking my sodium capsules with my compression-socked feet up on a drawer.

I’m very much still figuring this #spoonieteacher thing out, but I’d love to have you come along on the journey with me!

I mean, come on. 🙄💀

Last night I was playing with blocks with my 2-year-old, and when his house came crashing down, I prepared myself for the meltdown that was sure to come.

Instead, he looked at me and said, “that’s okay, we just fix it.”

In today’s climate of instant gratification, it can be hard to convince our students that practice makes perfect, and mistakes are not to be feared, but embraced, as they can be our best teachers.

“That’s okay, we just fix it,” is the response we long to hear from our students when faced with a mistake, instead of a crippling sense of defeat.

It’s a long game, working to convince your students that they can be successful even with making plenty of mistakes along the way, but it’s a worthy fight.

Like & share if you agree!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻🤩

Especially with the cold, dreary, rainy weather that’s appeared in NEO, I’m constantly clutching a warm mug of coffee 🥰

Hi 👋🏻 I’m Cailyn, and here are 3 things you may not know about me:

1. I collect makeup—makeup has been a hobby of mine since middle school when YouTube tutorials first began.

2. I have a scar across the top of my nose from my son hitting me with my own coffee mug.

3. I ran a marathon when I was 7 weeks pregnant with my youngest (0/10 recommend).

If you’re new here or you made it to the end, Hello!! I’d love to hear something neat about you below: 👇🏼

Bucket list ✔️

I had the privilege to speak this morning at OCTM about my favorite topic—Empowering Students who Struggle in Math!

I’ve been attending OCTM since I was a Pre-Service teacher, so it was very exciting to get to be on the other side!

It’s been so fun networking with other folks who are just as crazy about teaching math as I am! 🤩🤩 And I’m coming home with goodies including two free textbooks! 🤯
