Have you ever met someone who gave you the shot you needed? Someone who gave you a chance to prove yourself, and you were able to show them everything you had to offer? I know I have, and I am grateful for that Every. Single. Day. My partner, Jack Gardner, recently graduated with honors with his bachelor’s degree in Education. Throughout his entire educational journey, he has always worked 3-4 jobs to pay the bills, including: • Working as an educational assistant for 15 years, continuously going above and beyond the expectations of his title; • Helping middle schoolers fundraise and develop a charter-wide event that raised many thousands of dollars to assist 8th graders to earn the opportunity to travel; • Serving as Indy Parks’ lead Inspector for nearly a decade, and has used this experience to train summer staff. He is known throughout the Parks System and is seen as a community advocate in numerous community parks; and • Bringing diverse audiences together through his self-written and produced weekly trivia show, Trivia Madness. He is most interested in educational consulting, outdoor recreation/education, technology, staff/public training, and program management. He can build a relationship and find common ground with anyone. Jack is smart (I know I may be a little biased), he just needs someone to give him ⓞⓝⓔ chance. That's where 𝐲𝐨𝐮 come in - I have a few small requests - in case you might be able to help him get his chance: 1. React to / share this post - even if you don’t know him well. You or one of your connections may be looking for someone just like Jack. 2. If you have worked with Jack, 𝑝𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑠𝑒 take a moment to leave him a brief LinkedIn recommendation. 3. If you know of a position that might be a good fit, please share it with him, or if possible, help to make a connection. He is putting himself out there, but the job market is tough. I can assure you that he will bring passion and hard work to any task you put before him. Thank you for reading, and Happy Monday! 😊

Welcome to June! ☀️ Did your summer break start last week? If not, I bet the countdown is on, right? …but let’s be honest. Summer break doesn’t necessarily mean you’re not working. As teachers, we’re constantly planning for and/or thinking about the year to come. And some of us might even teach our way through this laid-back time of year. What if I told you there’s an alternative? According to the National Education Association (NEA), teachers usually devote around 12 to 20 unpaid hours a week to school-related tasks during their well-deserved summer break. On the flip side, you can kickstart your own teaching business in roughly 5 hours per week. Trust me, I’ve been there …done that. And I can show you how! Details in the blog post below, and remember—my next Jumpstart Program starts on June 7 (and there’s still time for you to join). https://buff.ly/44ZSNX1
HS Commencement time in WNY. We are actually doing ours tonight & it’s one of my favorite days of the year. When I became a HS administrator, a wise man told me, “You’ll never make everyone happy, just stick to your values.” Each year I remind myself that as an educator, the hopes and dreams of children’s parents, grandparents & relatives are in my hands and if a student doesn’t have that type of support system, then it’s my job to be that type of person for the student. Now believe me, I have made decisions that have not made me the most popular administrator at times, but just as being a parent has also taught me, you stick with your values - hold kids accountable when they make mistakes, be stern and give them a lecture when necessary, but above all, let them know you love them & wish them the best. You can all do me a favor: if you have a graduating relative, neighbor or friend, please take a moment to talk, call, email or share with them that “commencement” really means “beginning”, not an ending, so make sure they celebrate & enjoy themselves, but make sure to “BE SAFE”. Make this time of year truly the “beginning” of a great future. If you want to give them any life advice, use one of my favorites which has gained some popularity thanks to Ted Lasso: “Be curious, not judgemental." OK off my soap box...:-) Enjoy the day.
