This is the group that left an indelible mark on the culture in both my classroom and throughout Ashley High. Please listen to hear their wise perspective from 4 very active years in high school.

Have you ever wondered what the secret sauce is to classroom management? How about the hard fast approach to starting out a new school year? Listen carefully as you learn the approach of one of my esteemed colleagues, Mrs. Gabrielle Hicks!

Details and reflections on the past couple of weeks and the future moving forward while in the company of the 2023-2024 New Hanover County Educator of the Year, Ms. Fatima Sail!

As one of the Teacher's of the Year, (TOY’s) from this past year, I had the privilege today in interviewing the TOY finalists for the Middle, Elementary and High school level teachers, to go along with Principal finalists as well. 

Fresh off that experience, here are my reflections on how I will use this as fuel for the rest of the school year.  I hope you can too!

As we near the end of the school year, and I for one wrap up an eventful year in my role as an educator, how can we pool our resources to gain more inclusivity with our students' parents and stakeholders!?

How do we sustain student excellence in our classrooms, why not through upperclassman mentoring?; at least that's my approach!

How you establish order in the classroom has to come from within.  Only you are able to determine what works for YOU!

Over the course of time, education has to adapt.  Most certainly in coming out of the pandemic, we're faced with challenges in learning and how we address the shortcoming moving forward will require a total team effort.
