Hey Reader, However, sometimes...I don't think you need me to say much. Actually, I think sometimes you actually need me to say very little...or nothing at all. Sometimes, all we need is to know we're not alone. That's all this email is about today. I want you to know: You are not alone. You're not alone in feeling anxious for the start of the school year. You're not alone in feeling nervous about your first day with students. You're not alone in feeling behind or less-than-ready for that new classroom. You're not alone in feeling worried, overwhelmed, or maybe even a little scared...with all the challenges you'll face this year. You're not alone. You. Are. Not. Alone. You have a global community of educators who are feeling the same things, and who want you to win. Lean into that community. Lean into that support. If you haven't yet, go create your free account in the Teach Better Academy...and then share your feelings and feel that support. Click here to join for free. This work is hard. Like, really hard. You don't need to do it alone. I'll see you next week.

So I wanted to share another story of an awesome school. But this time, I also wanted to share what we can learn from their success, so you can take it into your...
Hey Reader, Can I brag for a minute? Don't worry, I don't want to brag about me, or even about our team. I want to brag about some really amazing educators. One of the coolest parts of my job is that I get to meet and work with so many truly amazing teachers and leaders from all around the country. So when we get the opportunity to celebrate their hard work paying off, I want to do it! Our friends at Erwin Elementary in North Carolina recently received their state report card results, and...
Hey Reader, Ok, so this is kind of random, but I was recently reading a fitness article on the importance of recovery, sleep, and growth. The more I read, the more important recovery and sleep seem to become in the science around fitness and nutrition. One of the key takeaways was on how to get quality rest, recovery, and sleep. The article talked about how you should remove distractions by doing things like putting your phone down. But the thing that stuck out most was its suggesting to...
