Let’s succeed together!

Below are six components that I not only employ on a daily basis, but I also believe are the KEY to being a top Educational Leader in 2025 and beyond!

Personal Leadership Journey

Our role as EDUCATORS is to inspire learners of all ages. Leadership is an innate part of educating. How are you LEADING today?

Mentorship and Coaching

Don’t be fooled; the best educators not only serve as MENTORS, but they are also MENTORED by others. Who is your mentor?

Policy and Advocacy

Public education as we know it is under ATTACK! Today is the day to get active in all that is happening in your neighborhood. Have you supported your union, attended Board of Education meetings, or written to your leaders?

Community Building

Your school is in a COMMUNITY and everything that occurs in the area impacts you, your colleagues, and your learners. How are you bringing UNITY to your community?

Leadership Resources and Tools

Speaking of unity, being a LEADER means creating AND sharing resources with others. Have you checked out the resources listed below?

Passionate Service in Action

We are educators because we love learners and we love the work. Yet at times, it’s just that, WORK! Creating a warm and welcoming environment for all- even when we are not at our best- is rewarding… although also overwhelming. How do you exhibit your PASSION in all that you do?

An Educator’s Planning Period

Let’s be honest, there are never enough hours in the day to for us to do all the things. Grading, planning, mentoring (learners and colleagues), team-building, are just a few items that occupy our daily schedule. Yet we also cannot deny that we stand in need of so many resources. Well, look no further!

“If the concept of education has any validity or any use, it can only be to make us larger, freer, and more loving. If education cannot do this, then it is time we get rid of it.””
