This is a site that challenges the walls of our mind, our classrooms, our houses to transform into windows. These windows allow us to collaborate, connect, learn, and inspire each other through being visible, modelling, and instilling healthy habits every, single, day.
Week 11 of quarantine is happening right now here in Canada. It is time to check in on how you are all doing? It feels like forever since we have all been out in the world. I know everyone is probably feeling it by now. Although I am sure some people do not mind it. […]
My hands are cracked similar to an earthquake tearing up the earth. The endless sanitizer and dryness from hand washing creeps into the crevices of my skin as I disinfect surfaces, hands, doorknobs, etc. again and again. Our world has thrown us a curveball, it has shut down to heal. This Covid-19 virus has truly […]
What is a Super School? It is a school that invites the humans inside of it to show up for the world, contribute, and own who they are. It is a place where teachers, students, and leaders are inspired by a passion for learning and wellness. It is a school that teaches kids and adults […]
The fun is gone. Or is it? If it is, where did it go? These questions often surface in my mind, waver for a moment, and then for some reason, I push the idea of fun into the time out corner of my brain. Fun is for kids. Not for adults or in a workplace. […]

Hard is hard. Change is hard. Moving forward or through something is hard. Growth is hard. High performance is hard. Of course it is. If it wasn’t we would all be doing this all of the time. I believe that we want to do all of these things, however, it may look to you, but…excuses […]
Building a school culture where everyone wants to be there and work towards the most optimal learning possible is a tough job. It has to go beyond the curriculum and back to the days where breaking bread was how we got things done. Sometimes keeping it simple, with a plate of food, a coffee, and […]
There is something about new days, new beginnings, new school years, and new life. It is a sense of renewal. It is that pause between breaths and that satisfaction of a new breath filling your lungs. It is that bright spot and that moment when everything seems ok. I love coming back to school and […]
Opening up the walls, sending forth ripples of energy, empowerment, and knowledge in an effort to break down the barriers of resistance and self-doubt can be a very daunting task for leaders and teachers.
