From Fires to Fulfillment
If you read my daily email, you likely know that my big goal for 2025 is to give 25 keynotes and presentations. On Monday, February 24, I gave my first ever keynote at the Georgia Middle School Principals’ conference – big shoutout to Cheryl Riddle who organized the conference and was so wonderful to work with. I organized this as more of a working session than a straight speech so participants could leave the session with concrete skills and a plan to reclaim their purpose.
Today’s episode is a condensed version of the session that includes all of the content. At the end of today’s show, I’ll share the link to a hidden webpage where you can watch the speech and grab copies of the materials.

IXL gives you meaningful insights that drive real progress, and research can prove it. Studies across 45 states show that schools who use IXL outperform other schools on state tests. Educators who use IXL love that they can easily see how their school is performing in real-time to make better instructional decisions.
And IXL doesn’t stop at just data. IXL also brings an entire ecosystem of resources for your teachers, with a complete curriculum, personalized learning plans, and so much more.
