Summer Book Basket of FREE Resources for Educators

As we wrap up the most unusual school year in the history of the world, there are a million things to think about and do as we prepare for next year. Not knowing what to expect and where to start can feel overwhelming. We can either freak out or figure it out.

As we have seen over the past few months, much of the work we do as teachers goes way beyond teaching content. We are shaping the hearts and minds of our students, too. We are walking with them on a journey for a more equitable world at the same time, and it takes a lot to do this.

This is hard work – and it is critical work.

A few of my author friends who have written books specifically for educators have offered FREE downloads of their eBooks to my friends and colleagues in an effort to provide help for you during this challenging experience. I’m delighted to be able to pass these resources on to you. Feel free to share them with fellow educators as well.

I invite you to download any or all of these awesome resources. Just click the links below to immediately access their books. And if you want to know more about any of these authors’ books, techniques, or ideas as they relate to your particular situation, feel free to reach out to them. They are real people who are on a mission to make the world a better place with their stories.

I have been a teacher for over 30 years. As much as I’d like to say I have this all figured out, I don’t. I have more work to do. I have much more to learn. And it all starts by educating ourselves and using resources that support us in our missions to help kids learn and grow.

THANK YOU for your tireless service to students and education. Together we are going to change the world.

May the summer bring you an opportunity to take a breath, reset, and focus your energy in a way that supports you so you can support yourself, your family, your students, and your community.

With you on this journey

Most high school seniors don’t leave high school with the tools they need to prevent the likelihood of sexual assault. These are often learned over time, hopefully without any damaging experiences along the way. Even now when sexual assault rates have reached epidemic proportions, and half of all victims are between the ages of 18 and 34, we still have very few resources to offer young people around sexual safety. Be Strong, Be Wise in the Age of #MeToo, and the Be Strong, Be Wise safety education program provide all the tools necessary to develop “safety-mindedness.”  Be Strong, Be Wise includes reflective discussion to improve personal and group awareness while supporting healthy independence. Keener intuition, self-knowledge, people perception and communication skill are just part of what students will cultivate after reading this book and participating in the safety education program.
