Allison Russo is a consultant, writer and educator who has written a fantastic book called “Planning Purpose.”  I’ve enjoyed working through the process within the book to find ways to implement my values and the values of my students into the content I’m teaching.  I’m excited for you to learn from Allison and encourage you to follow her on Instagram @thecriticalgood.
