First there was this…

 

Then this…

And then there was this…

Ooh, and this…

And then it was lunchtime, and I was headed for BWI airport en route to Chicago for a full weekend of events with 10,000 or so of my closest teacher friends at ASCD Empower19.

Wild, man.

Grateful, thankful, and deeply humbled by these incredible opportunities to connect with excited educators from every corner of the globe as we continue to change the game of 21st century education.

The life of an instructional coach is crazy, wonderful, and very, very full.

Presentation from this morning’s session at Bishop McNamara High School is linked here. A sincere thank you to all who were in attendance — please feel free to connect with me here and on Twitter so that we can continue the conversation at any time!
