Welcome to the new site!
This week I was able to do something I haven’t done before as a leader. I listened to my students. Now let me clarify. I’ve done anonymous surveys, I’ve had kids write letters, and more. But I have never really taken the time to just sit in their presence and listen. I started with 3rd-5th…
Well, the conclusion of my “I Wish You Knew…” series is here. This has been such a learning journey for me to hear from administrators, then teachers, then parents, and now students from all over the world. I think there’s so much to be learned from all these groups as we move forward and make…
Welcome to the 3rd part (in a 4 part series) of “I Wish You Knew….”. Part 1 was all about what Administrators wished you knew, part 2 was all about what Teachers wished you knew, and now Part 3 focuses on Parents! I really wanted to gather great ideas and honest opinions from parents. So,…
Wow, if only I knew how much this blog series was going to take hold! Last week’s post, “As An Admin, I Wish You Knew” stirred so much conversation! I am thrilled about the interest from educators, from around the world, who wanted to share their voice for Part 2! So here is part 2!…
I became an administrator a little over a year ago. Never did I even imagine all that goes on behind the scenes of a school. Man my eyes have been opened! As I was driving home the other day, I thought about the fact that there are many elements to education that people don’t understand…
If you know much about me, you know I love music. Always have. One of my favorite vocalists is Natalie Grant. I feel like I’ve grown up with her. I still remember attending a KSBJ Brown Bag (free) concert at a Chik-Fil-A when she was just releasing her debut album and being in awe. And…
Well I’ve just completed my second week with kids at Webb Elementary. I’ve held off on writing these first two weeks for a bunch of reasons. These first two weeks were filled with amazingness. They were filled with awesome lessons from teachers, great interactions with kids and families, and exciting moments in the hallways and…
This summer has been a true summer of learning for me. One in which I learned the most from examples that others around me set. And as I took those lessons and started changing the ways I did some things in my life, I figured it could be good to share a few of those…
Ever since I was in High School, I’ve always admired Ron Clark. He’s been someone who has inspired me, and was one of the reasons I knew teaching was for me. Almost 3 years ago I was afforded the opportunity to attend the Ron Clark Academy. It was an absolutely incredible opportunity. One that still…
I’ve always prided myself in the fact that when I blog I try to share a real and honest portrayal of education and who I am. I’ve been passionate about sharing the good as well as the bad. So today it’s time for me to share…. If you’ve been following this blog for any amount…
Almost two weeks ago I was talking with Jeff Herb on Voxer and he mentioned that he would love to see my new school sometime. While traditionally that would mean a trip from Illinois to Texas (which still isn’t out of the question), a new tool has emerged that has enabled video broadcasting to anyone…
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve had a unique experience. I’ve been able to attend several conferences where the audience was primarily education/school leaders. Now before I go any further, let me make sure to state that I feel every single person on a school campus is a leader in one capacity or another….
