Workplace Readiness: Fill These 4 Buckets
It’s no secret – being an educator is HARD work. For some, it may be physically exhausting, emotionally draining, and socially lonely. But it doesn’t have to be that way. The work you are doing every day is too meaningful for it to be dragging you down. This newsletter is for YOU – keep taking […]
One of life’s biggest questions is…
“Who am I?” It’s one of life’s biggest questions. How much does your (or your student’s) identity matter?
Are You Getting Healthier or Sicker this Summer?
Do you take any supplements? If so, it’s possible others have told you that supplements are a waste of money. But are they? What evidence does either side have? You’ll find out in just a moment.
Intellectual and Social Humility
How do you respond when you hear another staff member from school apologize? We have all had the experience of sensing when we were wrong about something. Maybe it’s our conscience speaking; but often we just let it go. Time heals all wounds. Others will figure it out. Right? But what if we are wrong twice? Wrong to hide […]
Is it Ethical to Use this Teaching Tool?
Over the years, I have uncovered dozens (may even hundreds) of effective teaching strategies. But does this one cross your ethical boundaries? It’s highly effective, free, and, yes, fully legal. In fact, you may already be using it without knowing it. But what if it is so controversial that you’d never admit using it to […]
Do you Believe?
We know that educators have a tough job; no doubt about that. But given what’s gone on in the last couple of years have you changed? We see more educator burnout, chronic stress, and depression. These often lead to health issues or even quitting a job. But what’s really at the root of these issues? Were […]
Recovery of 3 Learning Secrets
Confession: I am a hopeless learning junkie. I read the newsletters, view the websites, and subscribe to the hard science in the Journal of Neuroscience. But I am also a student of the history of learning. I was digging around the research and found amazing (but ‘buried’) research that is quite relevant today, years later. Research […]
Hook in Students with a 100 yr. Old Strategy
It was one of my most depressing moments ever as a teacher. I’m in front of the room, my mouth was moving, but every student was frozen as if their brain was on screen saver. Maybe you also have memories of sharing content with your class, but your students just stare back at you. Glazed eyes, […]
What Trait Could Change Your Life (for the better)?
A very long time ago, I searched wide and far for role models. I just plain needed someone to believe in. At one point, I heard my role model say, “The quality of your questions will become the quality of your life.” I was, of course, a bit immature, full of myself, and definitely younger back then. […]
What Do You Do in Your First 30 Minutes?
What is your morning routine? Why does it matter? For some, the morning routine begins with hitting the snooze button for an extra 10 minutes of sleep. For others, it begins a predictable roller coaster with a high stress march and ending with a run out the front door. If your morning routine is a bit […]
Do You Prefer Comfort Over Grit?
Have you or your students changed over time? It sure is tempting to say ‘yes.’ We hear about more kids staying indoors, fewer two-parent households, and more screen time. Today, our kids grow up with fridges, cell phones, microwaves, Netflix, and maybe a car. Have we just all gotten soft and lazy? Is teaching grit to […]
Proven Tools to Raise Student Intelligence
Catching Your Students Up? That sounds like a line out of a comedy routine or science fiction! After all, not long ago, educators (just like you) believed IQ was fixed. They said, “You either got it or you don’t.” Times have changed, so it’s time for an update. Today we say, “Either you are a […]

It’s time for our summer BrighterBrain® health issue. It’s likely you get more than your share of advice about health; friends, family, and the internet all have their opinions.

Admitting Mistakes: Ethics Says Yes, Instinct Says No
We have all had the experience of sensing when we were wrong about something. Maybe it’s our conscience speaking; but often we just let it go. Time heals all wounds. Others will figure it out. Right? But what if we are wrong twice? Wrong to hide the mistake and wrong to assume it will go away? Life happens pretty fast; let’s learn how to deal with mistakes and apologies a bit better. A more joyful life is coming up.
