Welcome to Keep Calm and Empower your students!!! I have been educating young people for 22 years. I am still perfecting my craft by changing from a lead teacher to a coach who inspires and keeps students on their learning track.

As I return to class from Christmas break I plan to have my first graders write three learning goals. I will help them write a plan to achieve the goals. I chuckle thinking of my special superstars who will be baffled at selecting a goal at school. I have two or three little guys who come to school to play. That’s their top goal – here’s hoping they surprise me and I can “coach” them to put some “skin in the game”.

Happy New Year!!!
