“There’s a whole part of my life that’s made better by taking the time to reflect on it and write it down. Just being a writer and going through that process myself has enhanced my teaching in every part of my day,” Lisa Corbett, a longtime Slicer, shared as a guest on the podcast I Wish I Knew EDU. Lisa discussed ways she grows professionally and communities online that have supported her growth. Lisa gave a lovely shout out to the Slice of Life Story Challenge!
