There are all kinds of public speakers out there, and thank goodness for that—conferences would be so boring if everyone was the same! I learn something from every speaker I watch. My goal? To be the best version of myself and connect with the audience in a way that makes a real difference.

Value your people. Support their work. Invest in their lives. Encourage them often. Lead them not from in front nor behind them, lead from beside them. Everyday is a gift, open it carefully and cherish it greatly. Strive to be a transformational leader. You have the best job in education! THRIVE!

I am working on something and would love your feedback. Research-based practices are important, but how they look in different contexts cannot be ignored. What if we start with local pockets of excellence and then align those practices with research to determine what works for YOUR students?

I am learning that relying on "research-based practices" is not enough. We need to use research to help us understand local evidence of impact. Looking closely at what is working in OUR context with OUR students and is backed by research is the true north ✨ for students.
