That’s how many vacancies for teachers there are in Florida schools. Nearly 5,000 classroom teachers are needed in addition to the shortage of 4,000 people for support staff positions. 450,000 Florida students began the school year last August without a certified teacher in their classroom.

A National Education Association survey found that a full 55% […]

Recently I was talking to a young friend I had been mentoring, and the question was raised about his plans and direction for 2022. It is an old familiar question to me; a question we all have heard and experience at all age levels sometime in our life. The question suggests we like the idea of change, but we want to control the makeup of those changes. Reflect back on the number of new year’s resolutions you have made in the past. Here we are in the early stages of 2022, and things seems to be going the same way […]

The story that you will find below has been a story that I have shared in the past. I share it again because I believe it’s more appropriate today than it may have been when it occurred.

I sense that I am not sure where I am, where am I going and what is next. I have found that when I am in a fog, having a sense of what is […]
