Welcome to the new site!
Almost two weeks ago I was talking with Jeff Herb on Voxer and he mentioned that he would love to see my new school sometime. While traditionally that would mean a trip from Illinois to Texas (which still isn’t out of the question), a new tool has emerged that has enabled video broadcasting to anyone…
Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve had a unique experience. I’ve been able to attend several conferences where the audience was primarily education/school leaders. Now before I go any further, let me make sure to state that I feel every single person on a school campus is a leader in one capacity or another….
Just the other day this video come across my Facebook feed. I was so emotionally impacted by the message and the powerful story, I couldn’t help but think about the parallels that exists in education. This is such a powerful video. Without saying much, it says a lot. I had to share.Posted by Frankie J…
While driving today I heard this song, and the lyrics rang so incredibly true to where I am right now. It’s a song called “Brave” by Nichole Nordeman. The gate is wide, the road is paved in moderation The crowd is kind and quick to pull you in Welcome to the middle ground You’re safe…
As I sit on the flight back home to Houston, after spending an incredible week in Long Beach for NAESP, I keep having the same thoughts I do after most conferences or interactions with my peers. I need to do better. For years I’ve connected, traveled, and learned from others from all over the world….
This is co-written by Adam Welcome and Todd Nesloney and cross-posted on both of their blogs. Relationships for Principals have always and will continue to be of utter importance, it’s the catalyst of our work! This week at NAESP (#naesp15) has brought so many different ideas to the forefront, especially after our opening keynote from…
I’ve had the awesome experience of traveling to Long Beach, California this week to attend NAESP (National Association of Elementary School Principals). #NAESP15 I love traveling and attending different conferences. Not necessarily for the sessions, but more so for the connections. This week especially I was reminded of the importance of having those conversations with…
I have been given quite the opportunity to travel and speak in different places around the United States. I talk about technology, inspiring kids, and changing campus/staff culture. But lately, I’ve noticed a theme happening. A kind of disheartening theme. Many times, after I finish a presentation/keynote/whatever I’ll have teachers come up to me, many…
Well I did it. I survived my first year as an administrator. Especially coming straight out of the classroom. This year was a roller coaster for sure. I think just about every single thing that could have gone wrong did. But I learned so much. And I’ve always been of the belief that mistakes are…
So a year or two ago I read the book “Teach Like a Pirate” by Dave Burgess. It is an absolutely incredible book that really talks about teaching passionately and engaging all students. Then a little while after, I heard about a principal in Ohio, Ryan McLane, took that concept and put on a “Teach…
This concept or thought of “Am I doing enough?” has always been a part of my psyche. Whether it came to work, or my personal relationships, family, or whatever, I always wonder if I could be doing more. When I was teaching and only had a handful of students, sometimes I would hear stories from…
It seems like every day I hear another news story about something horrific. Or I sit and listen to a family about a tragedy that just took place. Or I see things happen within my own life. Our world if filled with so much darkness. There are so many reasons to be brought down. Whether…
