After 21 years I'm stepping away. But I had a promise to keep to my dad, and my students.

In the past days I've been reminded from my former students why I truly had the best job ever.

Teachers are often humble people. However, does that hold us back? Would we make more if we were to "flex" a little more?

Jamal & I discuss.

Derek McCoy & Darren Ellwein are the co-authors of "The Revolution: It's Time To Empower Change In Our Schools.

But this book & podcast isn't about edu-theory- its about experience.

Please give this a listen, & give them a follow.

Income Share Agreements (ISA's) are being talked about in the media. The college that is leading the way is in my backyard- Purdue University.

Basically the University can pay for your college tuition IF you agree to give up a percentage of you income for the first three years of you career.

Is this a great idea, or a really bad one?

I would like to hear from you!

I will select a comment and send you a book.

Does "alternative school" usually mean "discipline problem"? How difficult is it for educators to create alternative pathways for our students (and it not be considered "alternative" in the negative way)?

Recently I went to Wisconsin to assist/judge a middle school pitch competition. I was expecting a nice competition, where some students had some "big ideas."

What I didn't expect was a team that was producing, selling, and making pivots.

Please listen to the mindset and focus of these ladies from Ithaca Middle School in Wisconsin.
