Relationships Matter Most

We all know it, relationships matter most and before you can do anything, you must have strong relationships. Colleagues, students and the community - they're all important and you're going to walk away with new ideas and strategies to build stronger relationships!

The Time Is Now

Stop talking about what you want to do and start doing what you want to do, the time is now. We’re going to dive deep, we’re going to get personal, we’re going to make some changes. You’re going to walk away with strategies that will help you focus on what’s most important, and a plan to implement those strategies with your team for bigger results! You’re going to laugh, you’re going to think, you’re going to be challenged, you’re going to realize that you have what it takes, who’s ready!

Everything Is Contagious

Don’t just see what something is, see what that thing can be. Don’t control it, support it. What you do everyday, the people around you will start doing because everything is contagious. Be contagious for all the right reasons and all the things. We’re going to build a plan, we’re going to get hyped, we’re going to get moving in the right direction. Let’s go!

Kids Deserve It

Kids Deserve It is a simple yet profound message and it’s time that we all join the conversation. Connect with kids, integrate innovative technology practices into your curriculum that students will love!

Rediscover the power of literacy and how it changes lives. Create content with students to help build culture and excitement for the entire community. Come up with a plan to facilitate innovative programs with your class that ANYONE can do. And, remember why you got into this profession and also how important your own family is. If we don’t take care of ourselves, we’re not going to be any good for our school team. 

No more excuses, it’s time to start making it happen for your students, staff, parents and the entire community. I know you can do it and I can’t wait to help you make it happen!

Kids Deserve It!by Adam Welcome

Kids Deserve It!

by Adam Welcome

What if learning was exciting?     

What if students felt important and empowered every time they walked into the building?    

 What if parents looked forward to calls from their children's teachers and principals, instead of cringing when the school's number popped up on their phones? 

To Todd Nesloney and Adam Welcome, those aren't far-fetched what ifs; they can (and should) be a reality for every teacher, school, parent, and student. 

In Kids Deserve It!, Todd and Adam encourage you to think big and make learning fun and meaningful for students. While you're at it, you just might rediscover why you became an educator in the first place. 

 Learn why you should be calling parents to praise your students (and employees).

 Discover ways to promote family interaction and improve relationships for kids at school and at home. 

Be inspired to take risks, shake up the status quo, and be a champion for your students.

Empower Our Girls: Opening the Door for Girls to Achieve Moreby Adam Welcome

Empower Our Girls: Opening the Door for Girls to Achieve More

by Adam Welcome

Here’s to Helping Girls Find Their Real Power!

Girl Power! It’s a popular marketing message that shows up on pink T-shirts across the nation. But sparkly words are not enough to get girls to realize their innate value and reach for their true potential.

In Empower Our Girls, educators Lynmara Colón and Adam Welcome collaborate with a strong cast of contributing authors to shine a light on simple, meaningful changes that need to take place in schools and society at large to help girls achieve more.

The words used to describe girls and define traditional roles can set unintentional limits for girls. It’s time for a change! It’s time for girls to hear the truth:

  • Tears are not a sign of weakness.
  • Being bold enough to ask for what you want doesn’t make you “bossy.”
  • Glass ceilings are meant to be shattered.

We must empower our girls to chase their dreams. Their future—and ours—depends on it!

“Our girls are filled with so much worth and potential, and it is our moral imperative to help them find and share it.” —Ramona Dunn, principal
“This is a must-read for those in school leadership who wish to truly ‘empower’ our girls.” —Rodney Kay, superintendent
“As a mother and an elementary principal, I’m looking forward to using this book for inspiration as I raise my own daughter.” —Lindsy Stumpenhorst, principal
“The book is filled with calls to action, some simple and some seemingly impossible, and all meant to empower girls to embrace their own bodies and minds and make the world their own.” —Karen Richardson, VSTE president, professor
