I am currently sitting in the STARS introduction and can’t wait to see how my students take hold of this idea of Community Problem Solving and run with it!

Yes. I came in a bit ago and just wanted to stay. Sherri let know what your thoughts are at the end of the day.

Not only this but there are so many other initiatives that are going on in the schools right now due to the ARI grant. Can you imagine what impact this grant will have in the next four years on the students in eastern Kentucky.

I would love to hear what some of our students had to say and their ideas following today’s session with Kelli. How do they envision STARS helping them, there peers and their communities?

I can’t wait to see how the students take this and go

I hope our NxGT are digging into our “Inevitable” book study. I loved the introduction to Chapter 5. Kenny Rogers “The Gambler” has always spoke volumes. I spent some time reflection on “Every gambler knows that the secret to survival is knowing what to throw away, and knowing what to keep.” Is that ever a challenge? I tried to clean out my…Read More

It seems every year I am “cleaning house.” I am constantly changing lessons when I realize something just did not work for my students. I’ll admit the reviews I read of “Inevitable” scared me, actually terrified me. My stubborn persona crossed her arms, turned her head and scoffed. But that fire inside me is burning, in hopes that I will spark…Read More

Great Question/Challenge Abbie – and a great response from Mrs. Baisden. I may not be teaching students at this moment in time – but I need to be in the process of considering what works and what doesn’t work in my current role. It is frightening.

This “spring cleaning” is something we all need to do… not just educators in the classroom. I too am not currently teaching in a particular classroom, but have as much responsibility in tossing old strategies and securing new ones for the sake of our students and future generations. While I agree that this conversation has to start in the…Read More

Yes. I am going to need a lot of encouraging. I am trying to maximize my use of technology so I am trying to be brave and attempt new things. Sometimes I mess us, but I am finding that someone is always there to lend a helping hand. That is what is so very great about our ARI. We are all learners.

I just posted my first Course in Learing@theHoller. The course is entitled Principal Working Conditions Goal. I would love for someone to check it and tell me what you think.

Abby haven’t checked it yet but you put a lot of time into doing it and I’m trying to build a course myself. It takes a lot of time and dedication to get this done and you’ll do great

Oh, my goodness. What I would have given for these opportunities during my days as a classroom. I am so looking forward to seeing great things from our students and their teachers.
“ Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”

My staff loved the training from what I saw in emails from them. This is a great opportunity for our students
