This is our final episode about the Teacher Friday Worbox® Pilot with principal Jayme. We talked about how Jayme suggests getting started in your school and our hopes for all schools to be using the Teacher Friday Workbox® in the future. What Would Jayme Suggest?  We have received a lot of feedback saying everyone is […]

How does our laundry room explode? And is there any way we can have it looking like a magazine? Let’s discuss. Now, you may not have a laundry room. Yours may be in the basement, so yours may not work the way my laundry room does. As I’m talking about this, it may be a

Jayme and I were caught off guard by our nerves for this second in person workshop day.  I think the reality was that we were using technology we were super familiar with running ourselves to promote more transparency and we weren’t in control. Two type A’s like to be in control! It was so good

Sorry, I got a little long winded in that last podcast. But you know, the podcast where I talk about your 30s and 40s I can speak to you more authoritatively about because I have lived it. A lot of what I’m saying from here forward is speculation and purely observational. Some things you have

This is the recap of Day 1. I was driving to Jayme to teach the first workshop for her teachers about the Teacher Friday Workbox®.
