Moving Forward: My Journey Right Now
There is no going back. Returning to the place before I made the decision. I decided in April to move forward from my principal position. For a variety of reasons, I knew this was the best decision. Most importantly, I wanted to dive deeper into my passion of professional development – working together with teachers and leaders to become better for our kids. Because they deserve it. This episode shares my personal journey and lessons about moving forward in reclaiming my passions. I renamed my podcast to Chasing 100 and this is the first episode under the new name. I hope you enjoy!

5. Man in the Arena: Reflections on the 2021-22 School Year
Today, I honor the real hurt, fear, grit, and resilience of educators from the 2021-22 school year.
Each summer, I take time to really reflect on the past school year. This summer is no different. In reflecting on this past 2021-22 school year, one thing that stands out to me is the chasm between what I expected this school year to be and what it actually was. I expected a more “normal school year”. A year of daily classroom visits, all school assemblies, and staff gathering. Boy was I wrong. I’m currently reading Brene Brown’s “Rising Strong”. In her book, she talks about the “man in the arena” which is a speech titled, “Man in the Arena” from Theodore Roosevelt. There have been so many people making comments about education at the building level and yet, they are not here, “in the area”. I’d like to read the speech for you. As you listen, I hope you find some solace in where you are, what you are going through, and confidence in moving forward with grit and resilience.
