If you ever have the chance...

You have got to hear this speaker.

Sally Northway Ogden is a speaker from Love and Logic and she came to our school this last week to lead a talk titled, "Words Will NEVER Hurt Me."  It may sound cliche' for me to say this... but it was definitely a view changing, if not life changing, day.  The seminar was full of good stories, great jokes and even better advice.  In the six hours that she was at our school, I examined and re-examined my views as a teacher and really did some soul searching.  The seminar was aimed at educating teachers on how to build relationships with students and how to handle bullying in the schools. Not only did I totally "buy into" what Sally was talking about, I wished that I had known the ways to handle bullies my whole life! I think this talk will not only make me a better teacher, but a better mother (someday), sister, daughter and friend.

Sally, if you ever read this, THANK YOU!  You can click here to find out some more information; I can't recommend her highly enough!

Have any of you been to one of Sally's talks? Who are your favorite educational speakers?

Best,
Ms. M
