Welcome to the Connected Educators Community!
Hi, everyone!
I am Dr. Joseph Weisler (or simply "Joey"), and I am honored to be your community's co-founder, alongside my dear friend, Chris Mukiibi.
I am currently a university educator for English, composition, literature, business writing, and public speaking, along with the host of the "Classroom Narratives" podcast. I am also the creative producer behind "The Throne in the Classroom".
In my classroom, I strive to help students find voice, build agency, and translate lived experience into meaningful academic and creative work.
Like many teachers, I once believed caring meant carrying. I poured everything I had into my students until I realized I was carrying their struggles instead of simply caring for them—and it was costing me the joy I once found in teaching.
The approaches I discovered through designing boundaries didn't make me care less. They helped me care better. They helped me reconnect with why I became an educator in the first place.
Chris and I created this community because we believe teachers deserve a place to grow, reflect, ask honest questions, and support one another. I'm grateful you're here, and I can't wait to learn alongside you.
Check out my website, josephweisler.com, and know how excited I am to interact with each of you! As I say to my students every day, "thank you for choosing to be a part of our community." 🙂

Teaching gets better in community, not in isolation. This is where that happens.
