Welcome to the new site!
The topic of this post has been on my mind for a while, but I think I can finally put it into words. Or at least attempt to! I believe in dreaming big. I believe in what others may think is “impossible”. Last night I was invited to be a part of a #USedchat group…
As the pieces have fallen together over at Navasota Intermediate, something interesting has happened. Let me start by giving you a little background. Navasota Intermediate is being “reconstituted”. Essentially that means that when they hired me as the new Principal, I had to come in and hire a new staff. I did keep about 4…
**this post was co-written with Drew Minock.If you’ve been a connected educator for very long you’ve probably heard of the #YouMatter movement. The movement was founded by Angela Maiers and seeks to help celebrate the potential that each individual has and to remind others of their value. In preparing to go to ISTE, Drew Minock…
The past week has been a whirlwind. Last Sunday evening I left with about 15 of my new staff members on a 4 day trip to Corpus to learn about the “Engage Learning Model” that we would be using to transform Navasota Intermediate this year. I must say, I was a little nervous heading into…
This summer I wanted to find a great way for my new staff to start learning things before we even were at our new campus together! I have heard the phrase recently and I totally agree, that we are “Professional Students”. What better way for me to model that I am a continual learner then…
There is no reward without some risk involved and nothing easy is ever worth having. I completely believe that. As you may have read in my recent posts, I took a new position in a new district. Yesterday was my last day ever as a classroom teacher, and today I said goodbye to all my…
Yesterday we celebrated our annual #YouMatter Day! It’s a day I came up with to celebrate those around us and recognize staff and family at Fields Store Elementary for the contributions they make and to remind them that they’re noticed. The first thing we did was watch Angela Maiers message that she did for Tedx….
For those of you who don’t know, recently I accepted a position as Principal of Navasota Intermediate in Navasota, Texas! I couldn’t be more excited. Stepping out of the classroom and into a leadership role wasn’t something I thought I was ready to do yet. I LOVE working with my group of kiddos every year….
If you’ve been reading my blog for any amount of time you know that I am a Classroom Champions teacher. I couldn’t agree more with the mission of this organization. They seek to connect top performing athletes with students and classrooms from across the country. When I was accepted as a Classroom Champions teacher at…
If you’ve read my blog for very long, hopefully you’ve been able to see how honest I try to be. I try to share my successes as well as my failures. I try to write to hopefully inspire but also show that everything isn’t always perfect. In the state of Texas our state exam is…
Back in July I remember meeting Eric Sheninger for the first time. I had followed him on Twitter for a while and really looked up to and respected him. I was attending and speaking at the CAMT (Conference for the Advancement of Mathematics Teachers) in San Antonio and saw he was also presenting. I sent…
Since joining twitter I’ve become friends with or started learning from some incredible people. People like Brad Waid, Drew Minock, Erin Klein, Adam Bellow, Eric Sheninger, Angela Maiers, and soooo many more. People who have been on for a little bit and grown huge followings. But I’ve also become “friends” with and started learning from…
