Welcome!
Whether you’re just entering the field of education, or a veteran of many years, CMSDREAMBIG is for you! While not everything I post will be about teaching, much of the themes will involve how we help to transform our classrooms and schools into positive places for students, faculty and the community. Ultimately, it’s all about sharing. Your ideas matter!
One of my main visions is helping fellow educators. I’m in the process of finishing my first book: Dream Big: Simple Steps for Transforming your Classroom. Throughout this site I’ll be posting chapter highlights, videos of each chapter or section, ideas for your class/school and general positive ways we can improve education. Also, as a Health and Physical Education teacher, there will be posts about fitness, nutrition and all things wellness related.
I’d love the chance to provide help in anyway to your classrooms, schools and even your district. I’ve been blessed to speak and present PD in front of many students, parents and colleagues.
Finally, here is a final thought to think about: Everyday in school is the opportunity to change the lives of our students. Let’s make that happen with passion, empathy, persistence and enthusiasm.
