I know how important it is for Teachers & Instructional leaders to find new ways to be creative without sacrificing effectiveness. So, when my friend, Cassandra Williams, an educator with 25 years of experience contacted me about being a part of her FREE online training event; I said yes.

During my video session with Cassandra, I share classroom management strategies, The Building Blocks For Strong Classroom Management. You can watch the video below and grab my FREE checklists here.
