In this episode, Theresa, Spike and Jessica catch up from the summer break. They each discussed how July goes so quickly and provides a much needed down time from the business of the school year. Now, as they are quickly realizing, is the time to make sure all of the Back to School lists are completed such as scheduling, organization of the school and the most important part... the first few days of the school year.

Over the course of the Podcast, you will learn about the following:

• Transformative Leadership Summit 2018 - Spike visited with Danny from #TLS18 to discuss How to Spread Gratitude Throughout Your School 
• The Principals Playhouse - Allyson Apsey (Author of the Path to Serendipity) and Jonathon Wennstrom
• Challenges with Time Zones :) 
• Social Emotional Learning - Jess is reading
• Back to School Preparation
