Mike's On

This week we take a peek behind the scenes of our upcoming transition video for our incoming 5th grade students. Since we are unable to have them shadow in-person, we are putting together an informative, helpful video to welcome them to our Selvidge Community

This week fellow administrator, Robyn Meagher, joins me for our show. Robyn and I met through the University of Missouri-St. Louis' CEEL (Character Education for Emerging Leaders)Program. We have some fun and get serious about being a public school administrator in today's world.

Now that we have 50 episodes in the hopper, it is time to explore things in a different way. Every once in awhile, we are going to look for multiple perspectives to come on the show at once--at the same time!

Our guests this week include: Kyle Denny-8th Grade American History teachers, Ryan Coleman-8th Grade Science teacher, Rich Blackford-8th Grade American History teacher, and newcomer-Tony DeCarli-8th Grade English/Language Arts teacher.
