Welcome to 2025! I hope you had a refreshing break that was filled with the things you love to do!

I was able to take a trip this holiday season with my family in France. We visited the Christmas Markets and took in the sites in and around Colmar and Paris. I also released my second book! This one was a collaborative one with my good friend, and fellow educator Aimee Bloom. She is a Supervisor of Instructional Technology for Buffalo Public Schools here in NY, and she was the illustrator of my cover for SMILE Learning and our collaborative book, ArchTech: Laying the Foundation for EdTech Coaching! This book will officially launch at FETC this month, with a workshop and book signings.

I'm ready to jump back in to work and spend time in your classrooms and supporting your initiatives. Let my Model Schools team know if there is anything we can do to help your students be engaged in learning.

In this newsletter you will find many resources and learning opportunities to start your year off strong. Reach out if you need any support!
