Make sure you’re taking time to refuel …

The purpose of liberal arts education is not to build your career. It’s to broaden your mind. You don’t have to justify a major based on job prospects. The only explanation necessary is “it interests me.” The true value of college is improving your ability to think and learn.

Save the date for our next networking event in Morristown! Hope to see you there!

Dr. Steven Barnett, Senior Co- Director of NIEER, begins our day at the NJASCD EARLY childhood Summit with his keynote presentation “Ensuring High Returns from Pre-K in NJ” #whynjascd #njascdecs #njascdcentral #njascdnorth #njascdsouth #ascd

Dr. Barnett reminds us a coherent approach based in research lessons provides a strong foundation for early childhood programs. We must constantly evaluate and respond to student needs as they change. #whynjascd NJASCDNorth NJASCD Central NJASCDSouth ASCD

A key to lifelong learning is to see everyone you meet as a potential teacher. No one has a monopoly on wisdom. Each interaction is a chance to question old assumptions and gain new perspectives. Collecting lessons from others is the fastest way to fill gaps in your experience.

Don’t miss this amazing event with keynote by Alisha DeLorenzo.

NJ educators - another great learning opportunity.

For anyone who needs a reminder as we start a new month …

Make a difference

Such a great reminder to take care of ourselves.

My heart is saddened hearing about all the music and art teachers being cut due to budget constraints. The arts are the reason I’m the leader I am today. Please think twice before removing the place and space in which so many of us find our people and our truest selves.

I’m excited to announce that I’ll be speaking at Wayfinder’s Summer Institute in Seattle! I will be discussing how to instill values and a sense of belief in your students. This will be an incredible opportunity to connect, learn, and grow together. #HappyWayfinding

The power of student voice. Thank you @wayfinder_edu for keeping student voice at the heart of your Summer Institute. A tag-team presentation about purpose. Thank you, Corinne, for collaborating with me on my art and reminding me “I can do art.” #HappyWayfinding

This is my sad face. I was supposed to meet Max Alexander this morning and see his newest collection, but the traffic gods did not cooperate. Max is an inspiration of what it means to use your voices of passion and heart to be a change agent. Crush it today, Max, shine bright!

A great reminder about our impact on others. Show up and be the onion ring in someone’s life.

A fabulous day with the Hudson County Superintendent Round Table. A chance to celebrate a dedicated group of leaders as they begin a new school year and Eric Crespo as County Superintendent of the Year!! A gorgeous day and a “”cup-filler” getting to see so many old friends.
