Aug 24 | Nothing like the First Day.....
Parents and Educators!!! There truly is nothing like the First Day of School.
The First Day of school is such an important part of the school year, that parents everywhere go above and beyond the call of duty to insure that this one day is as close to perfection as can possible. Carefully, everything is laid out, organized, reviewed, and rehearsed almost like the night before the wedding, maybe prom or the first game of the season.

Aug 05 | Changing Criteria..
Today’s blog was inspired by a young man who I was privileged to support in obtaining his High School diploma. This gentleman was 45 years of age, 20 years into a career (in which he worked himself up from an entry level position obtained through a connection with his father), with only one year of High School completed (dropped out as a Sophomore).

Jul 20 | It's time......
The 2010/2011 school year is just moments away, and yes friends, "It's time" Each year headed into August, we began gearing up for the school year by taking the last month and a half to prepare for the up and coming school year. As parents and educators, it is time to perform assessments and to sharpen the skills our students have to relieve the stress and pressure of the start of the school year.

Jun 24 | Smiling is a Choice...
Today I posted on my facebook and linkedin page, "I’ve seen people frown through the good times and the bad times, and people smile through the bad times and good times. I guess a smile is the result of how you choose to see your present situation".

Jun 22 | When Confidence is Shattered
What do you do when confidence is shattered?
My fellow educators, parents and students, there are two confidences that will be addressed today: 1. Confidence in oneself and 2. Confidence in others. As I have found in my many years in education, many of the struggles our students experience can be found in a loss in one or both of these confidences.
