The innovative Junior Authors Program allows children a unique opportunity to contribute in real-time to a book being published! Kids vote on a variety of illustration-based items (characters, setting, design elements, cover choices, etc) to help create and publish a book. Each vote takes 15 seconds or less, yet children will have a lifetime memory of building a book. Let's give children the opportunity to feel heard, to be inspired, and to contribute to something meaningful that helps other children! This concept grew like crazy within a few months... and it makes sense why! While it started as a local project, kids across the world are absolutely loving this. I'd encourage you to jump in and check it out! All proceeds from this book go to children who lost their home in the Central California Creek Fire.

Current Book:

Where's My House? is a sweet and encouraging story for children who have lost a home to wildfire. Ava and Charlie experience the shock and sadness of suddenly finding Charlie's home destroyed, along with his cherished belongings. Then, through re-building, they find hope. They discover the magic of togetherness, family, and community.

You want to develop as a better teacher- but you administration wants better test scores. What to do?

Jamal and I discuss intentional growth and development, and why I used to fear "the observation." When also dive into building a culture that WANTS good feedback.

Jamal had a dream about Moana- then he interpreted it. We go all-in on the hero's journey and finding meaning in Pixar films.

Jamal and I discuss:

Bootstrapping, venture, and angel investing.

But why should students know the difference?
