New blog post!

Drawing on inspiration from the annual NCAA basketball tournament, read how you can bring the madness (in a good way) to your classroom, school, or office. I provide all the templates for you!

Something to put a smile on your face to finish the week...

One of our elementary school’s counselors did a project where students created positive message stickers that were dropped off at a local Starbucks to be slapped on drinks and brighten customers’ days. Awesome! 😃 #edusky

It was always my dream to become a published author. In 2019, that dream became a reality. In 2022, it happened again.

One book to encourage teachers. One to entertain & edify kids.

Enjoy!

A great reminder from a great book. #EduInfluence

As we prepare to begin another school year, remember...

Standards and lessons are important, but it's the relationships, smiles & little things that kids (and adults) hunger for.

What’s your "green sauce?"

As the first day of school approaches, here’s a great reminder that we can be used to be the answer to a parent's prayer.

Tomorrow I have the opportunity to lead a technology training for our district's new elementary teachers. As much as I love tech (and I REALLY do), this quote from Westin Kieschnick will be the foundation of our time together. No device or program is more impactful than the teacher.

Back-to-School Teacher Tip:

Create a "classroom tour" video w/ your phone. Then post it online (e.g., on Microsoft Flip) for incoming students to view. Let them see your room. Let them hear your voice. Imagine the impact this can have on those anxious about starting school.
