Life of an Educator: Top 5 blog posts of 2010...
I started this blog on June 14th, 2010. For the last 6 months this blog has provided me the opportunity to share and collaborate with some of the best educators in the world.

This blog has been influential as I embrace the concept of 24/7 professional development...anytime and anywhere. For the members of my PLN and the readers of my blog, I thank you for your support and…

Recognizing the shining stars...
classroom. Though we are almost halfway done with the school year, I
have regrettably not spent much time talking to this person. Today was
my chance...
It was so nice to speak with the person that is responsible for making
sure my classroom is ready to go for the next school… Continue

The "real" stakeholders...students have voices too...
1) - If you ask, you shall receive...
Last week I asked 5 students to answer 5 questions related to
education. The questions have nothing to do with my class content, nor
will the students receive anything for completing the 5 questions. I
simply asked 5 of my students to give me their opinion and feedback on
certain education related issues. The… Continue

What island are you on?
extremely well written, as well as extremely valuable for anyone looking
to gain a more in-depth understanding of school improvement.
As districts and schools look to both district and building leaders, it
is difficult not to notice the "Islands of Excellence," as well as the
islands of… Continue

Criticism hurts...but how you deal with it is all that matters!
we are forced to take a leap, and at times take a leap when we are not
ready. Going through all my undergraduate classes at Mizzou we were
always told how rewarding and fantastic the field of education is, and
from where I sit right now I could not agree more. So...the big
question… Continue

The power of "hello" and "goodbye"
has a little more than 1,800 students, and as I stand their doing my
duty I can't help but think how amazing it is that this process goes as
smoothly as it does. It is my personal goal to say "good morning" to
every student I have, have had, and potentially expect to have. The
typical… Continue

Never underestimate the power of a child...
and I have to say I was really intrigued by the topic. Every day at
school I get the opportunity to see students growing and
developing...some more than others, and some not enough. However
inconsistent their growth may be, one thing is for certain...the growth
and development of children can be summed up in one word - amazing! If
we… Continue

5 ways to share how you light the world on fire...
development days. As we discussed potential ideas, we turned our focus
to activities that teachers could employ immediately. We wanted to
avoid activities that would require a lot of time and preparation in an

strategies they could… Continue

Changing the culture of professional development...
the educational process. As students use their summer break to relax
and simply be kids, teachers and administrators utilize their time to
both improve and develop their skills as educators. The summer provides
an excellent opportunity for all educators to refine and enhance their
abilities as… Continue

Reinventing yourself = survival...
discontent. As I thought more about the "happy" people, and the not so
happy people, I decided to concentrate on why the "happy" people were
happy. I soon realized there seemed to be a couple underlying factors
that lead to their happiness / enthusiasm toward the new school year.
I have to… Continue

Would anybody like some change?
education. Though my wife is not a full time teacher, she does teach
as an adjunct professor at a local community college. Thus, I feel she
is knowledgeable and a worthy audience when discussing educationally
related topics.
Our most recent discussion revolved around how education needs to be
more effective and applicable to the ever changing needs of the student
population. There… Continue

7 proven strategies that WILL engage your students...
Over the last 5 years as an educator, I have learned so much about student motivation and student engagement. Recently, I started reflecting on my current practices and strategies I have used to engage
my students over the years. The program I am with has doubled in size
from roughly 140 students to over 280, so I feel confident these
strategies can, and will work.
1. Don't just care...really…

Why we shouldn't treat schools like factories, even if it is more cost effective...
amazing process. Dating back to the early 1900's, Henry Ford
revolutionized the world and the way it manufactures goods. How could
one argue with a process that can take different materials and
products, and in one smooth motion put them together to produce a brand
new flawless product…
