Principally Speaking

It's pretty clear from my talk with Dr. Ryan Jackson that he has a clear focus and passion for what he does. He is truly an inspirational and visionary leader. Be sure to check out his excellent blog below and/or connect with him on Twitter.

Mr. Daniel Bauer reached out to me to be a guest on his show, Better Leaders Better Schools. Stay tuned for this episode to be released by him in April. Our conversation went very well and so I was inspired to have him on my show as well. Daniel is doing great things as an Assistant Principal in Chicago and also through his blog and podcast. Check it out and connect with Daniel by clicking on the image below.

Don't forget you can check out Daniel's and other great educational podcasts on the Educational Podcast Network.

I talked with Dr. Gupta quite a while ago...a fantastic educator and simply great person. I hope you enjoy Episode 50 of the show...it's been an honor being the host of Principally Speaking. Thank you for your support and have a great 2016!

In Episode 7 squared of Principally Speaking, I have the honor of speaking with Glenn Robbins. It will become very clear to the audience why educators are coming to visit Northfield Community School very regularly. Glenn does an amazing job of talking about the importance of key words that we use in education, even hallway and classroom. I was also really excited to hear more about his period of the day in which the students explore in an Edcamp like environment, as well as his epic makerspace.
