Had the privilege of meeting Brian Pete and Robin Fogarty at ASCD in FL a few years ago. Their session on training was probably one of the best I’d ever been too! If you haven’t ever heard of them, they have two books that I highly recommend. From Staffroom to Classroom, I & II. They […]
Came across two resources I plan on taking advantage of this summer. Abbreviated as mine might be, I am COVETING the 5 weeks I have off to refresh, renew, reinvigorate my passion in what I do. The first, this blog post by Angela Watson, (whom I feel very honored to call an IRL BFF,
This post is cross posted from Connected Principals. I met with a colleague yesterday to discuss our upcoming presentation for the Texas ASCD #Ignite13 on leveraging social media as an administrator for your staff, students, and families.

Had a great convo at lunch today with two different staff members. We each have different roles on the campus and various experiences. One a former high school teacher, one a former 1st grade teacher and me… We were discussing our next school event and the inadvertent commotion it has caused. In May, we’re planning

How many times have you heard someone say that they don’t have time to be a ”connected educator”? It is the go to rationale for many. Eric Sheninger spoke at #ASCD13 on the keys to initiating sustainable change and something he said that resonated with me was “I don’t find the time to learn and get better.
