These sessions give me the renewed “passion” to go back and lead with inspiration!

Sometimes we forget to let thestudents direct their own learning.
If they aren’t being inquisitive, what are they learning?
TODAY I RECONNECTED WITH the POWER of A+!
Today gave me the motivation to keep going and remember that we are here for the CHILDREN…

“”She understands that teaching in an interactive,dynamic way is really the best way to teach children,
and is not extra, but essential!”
“Just like my students, I find it difficult to step out of my comfort zone, so I share with them the times when I am
unsure and am trying something new. I make mistakes and we laugh as they help. They praise my efforts and I praise
theirs. We all go home tired wondering what new discoveries we will make tomorrow.
“Even after 29 years of teaching, her joy, excitement and satisfaction with teaching the A+ way just jumped off the
page. She is a bright light who is sharing that with others!”
