Happy New Year, my friend!

I was offline for the last couple of weeks, creating space for dreaming and radical re-imagination.

And, as I shared in my first post back on Instagram, I’m not rushing to get up to full speed just because the holidays are over.

It’s still winter in the northern hemisphere, and nature is at rest. The new year in the natural world begins in spring. When the weather warms and daylight lengthens, it feels right to produce, bloom, grow, and do more.

Until then? Nature is in a time of preparation.

So even though it’s time for me (and most all of you) to get back to work and our daily routines, that doesn’t mean we have to push ourselves at 100% in every area. It’s okay to move slowly into your regular habits, and work with the natural rhythms of the season and your body.

As we ease back into work mode, I thought I'd share some of the projects I'm gearing up for in the year ahead.

I'll be continuing to add new trainings monthly to the 40 Hour AI program, which shows you how artificial intelligence tools can simplify and streamline your teaching.

​The first of the elementary Finding Flow Solutions units will (finally!) be released next week, with the remaining 5 units being released this winter and spring. Middle and high school materials are already available. These curriculum resources will help you teach students to manage their time, energy, and attention.

I’ve got a number of professional development and speaking engagements lined up for 2025, including two sessions at ASCD/ISTE in San Antonio in June. I’ll be hosting an informal meetup there with anyone attending the conferences or who lives locally and would like to connect, so stay tuned for that info, as well as information about a live virtual 5 week PD training coming in the fall.

And of course, I’ll continue to release new podcast episodes + articles on Truth for Teachers biweekly throughout the year ahead.

I’d love to know what I can make or share for YOU in 2025.

You might be thinking of a specific podcast/article topic you'd like me to cover, a guest you want me to interview, a curriculum resource you wish I offered, or even a course or book you’d love for me to create.

If you would take 30 seconds to leave your suggestion here in this one question Google form, I’d LOVE your input!

This is not a perfunctory request. While I have some projects already mapped out for the year, I always leave space in my schedule for serendipity, opportunities, and new ideas I want to pursue. If there’s a need I can help meet, please let me know!

Wishing you a happy new year, full of purpose and intention. More good things are still--and always--ahead.
