A little reading for August

During the month of July, and more specifically over the last two weeks, I've been curating some blogs and videos meant to inspire, think, and refocus for the upcoming school year.  These are not required readings by any means, but something to peruse and tuck away for those times when you just might need a pick me up or a reaffirmation of what we do daily as educators.

Lin-Manuel Miranda ("Hamilton") just dropped 9 truths about the power of education (from upworthy.com)

Tale of Two Vacations (from @PrincipalFrench)

An Open Invitation (from @PrincipalGarden- Great video embedded in this one.)

I also regularly read the blogs of Jon Harper and Pernille Ripp which can be found by clicking on their names.

I hope you enjoy the next couple of weeks and will be ready and fired up for our return on August 15th.
