Currently this podcast is providing a way to read my posts out loud from now on, all which encompass the theme of leading beyond our titles. Years ago, I named my blog “Take it to the Classroom” (takeittotheclassroom.wordpress.com) keeping my heart with students, the reason we show up as educators every day. They deserve the world. Maybe one day, as my students do every day, I will take a leap and do more with podcasting:)

Thanks to Erica Hogan, an elementary school principal in MO, I decided to read my posts out loud from now on. This is the first. There are videos in this post I encourage watching as my descriptions are just not the same:)
