Elementary teachers have been asking for this! Save the date!! Spread the word! @iheartk_6 @stmitchell6713

@TopDogTeaching I can’t wait! Super excited to hear you speak!

I am over the moon excited to work with teachers in Kansas tomorrow! Let’s do this!

@KennisonChrissi it’s almost time!

The purpose of writing this children’s book was to inspire our youth about kindness and faith in a world where we lack these essential keys to success. It’s the first of many! If your school orders them for an entire class, I will come read it to you! 🙏🏼 amazon.com/Rise-Up-Dalton…

@crayons_coffee you should drive up for this!! You would love her!

Kinda freaking out to find that in a couple months I get to see @TopDogTeaching speak @CPSI_KSU! Love seeing all the awesome things she does for kids!

What’s the best advice you’ve ever received that has most positively impacted your life & career? Go!

Consider replacing: How was your summer? with "What are you looking forward to this year?" Writing about your summer - YUCK. Kids who miss summer - are reminded it's over. Kids who had awful summer - revisit the bad memories. #HackLearning

Have you heard about WWW? Ask yourself these three questions? 1. What am I doing right now? 2. What should I be doing? 3. Why? Once you figure out your WWW, then you're officially on the path to greatness.
