I was afforded the opportunity to write a little post for LeadUpNow's 12DaysofDifference campaign. Although I only know one member of the LeadUp tribe in real life, each member of the twitter and voxer group has helped me through this year in ways I couldn't measure. Below is my paragraph about Generosity, which was day …

TeachStrong by being connected & supported
”Few teachers have opportunities for professional growth while remaining employed as teachers. Teachers should not have to leave the classroom in order to advance their careers if they prefer to continue teaching or are especially talented within the classroom.” - TeachStrong Campaign Yikes ~ I haven’t made time to blog lately and my brain is full …
embracing change
I live in a beautiful mountain town which is currently being blanketed in another perfect winter storm. I got to spend Sun morning at Race178's Run with the Girls in Reno with the awesome Girls on the Run team from Incline Elementary.

It started several weeks ago when eduhero Sanee Bell wrote a powerful blog for LeadUpNow. (LeadUp is a group I am honored to learn from every day.) Shortly after I watched Karen Norton's periscope …
Running in the Rain
We have received some much needed and rare rain in Lake Tahoe this weekend. While I was running down the Tahoe Rim Trail in more than a drizzle/less than a downpour the other day, I reflected on how easily reflection comes to me as an adult. It is completely natural for me to look back …
bids to contracts: missed concepts to applying new knowledge
This morning the first bid that I wrote (using an estimate from our project manager, who's been doing Zack's tasks as he recovers) was accepted and signed. It's a bit like working 1:1 with a struggling student and watching the light bulb go off because you know that you communicated clearly, set a measurable and …
