Relationships form from learning the 90% of those around us. Just get to know one another...embrace the pause of those around us to see what we have in common.

There is a feeling of overwhelm and disillusionment in education right now. It's common to tap into the belief that the "sky is falling". My goal is to provide some hope, inspiration, effective strategies, and ideas to get people excited about teaching and education. Teaching is one of the most important and life-changing things you can do!

Stop, pause, breath, and think! It's okay for students to feel angry, BUT students have to realize they are loved and safe to accept help and change. #ConsciousDiscipline 

This work is not about giving up control but giving more control to kids. That can be scary for teachers, but teachers are out there taking risks and trying things. The most important thing is being reflective with their kids and with themselves.

Think big and act small. When a door opens, take it off its hinges and walk through. Don't forget to bring others with you. Stop waiting and start now!

Believe that all kids can learn at high levels. All means all! There are no exceptions. Take special care of teachers' intellect. Nothing is more important than the decisions teachers make everyday. Teachers can make the best decisions for THAT child on THAT day. #LiteracyStudio
