Leading Safe Schools in an Environment That Lacks Civility

In this political environment, with policy pushed into the background while insults and name-calling move to the foreground, the likelihood of ripple into our world becomes greater.

Who's Got It Better Than Us? by Christopher Wooleyhand, Ph.D.

John Harbaugh, coach of the Baltimore Ravens and his brother, Jim Harbaugh, coach at the University of Michigan, have often used the quote above to motivate their players. The quote was passed down to them by their father Jack, a life-long college football coach. The words are a simple reminder to appreciate the best things in life.

Moving Student Questions To The Center of Our Work

Traditional teaching and learning environments are constructed to support the notion that the teacher has the knowledge and will answer the question. In classrooms with technology accessible and integrated, talented teachers have come to a place where they admit not knowing the answer. A research opportunity is created for the student or the class to find the answer. A whole new set of learning skills are taught in this scenario. They step into becoming…
