I graduated from a small town in Southern Iowa. Join me in advocating to Governor Reynolds and legislators that AEAs are needed for ALL kids in ALL schools. No changes needed! @KimReynoldsIA

Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.

House Study Bill 542 proposes significant cuts to the Iowa AEA System.  Get informed now about how those cuts may affect students, schools, and educators across Iowa. #SaveOurAEA

@desautels_phd What a great lineup!!!!!

[Dr. Bryan Pearlman #MaslowBeforeBloom @DrP_Principal]

Be the difference for THAT kid. THAT kid can’t read, falls asleep in class, forgets his homework, is always hungry, and says he hates school. THAT kid needs you the most. You can help change THAT kid's life trajectory.

Thanks for caring because I was THAT kid 40 years ago!

I’ve dedicated my life to help THAT kid!
