Thankful for These 50

2016 was an amazing year of growth for me both professionally and personally.


Professionally, I earned my administrator's license and learned the importance of being a connected educator.  Through this I not only gained more knowledge, but more importantly, a large group of educators that I know I can reach out to at any time for inspiration and motivation.  Personally, I gained a local group of friends who encouraged me to move more and I completed 14 races including a quarter marathon.  I’m so excited to see what 2017 brings in both areas of my life!


As I stated above, I am better educator because I found that social media & being connected makes me better.  Below is a list of 50 educators, chats, and resources that made me better in 2016.  Each one is a little different, but their overall goals are all the same - DO WHAT’S BEST FOR STUDENTS. I encourage you to follow them if you aren’t already.

  1. Jodie - your shout out is much appreciated! I am flattered that you would consider my Twitter posts, blog posts, ed chat comments, and educational insights among the other people on your list - many of whom I consider my "Edu Heroes". You are among them as well! Your growth is inspirational to me and so many others. Keep up the wonderful work! 2017 holds much promise for us all!
