Hello Reader! Not everything that is unfinished needs to be finished. Some things just need to be released. There is a specific kind of anxiety that takes hold in May. It's the awareness of every gap. Every unit you didn't get to, every student goal that hasn't been fully met, every initiative you launched in October that quietly stalled only a few weeks later. The list of what remains undone can feel crushing in the final weeks of a school year. Here's what we want to offer: not everything...

This will be the cornerstone of the work we do with schools. We still offer our coaching services and workshops, but the Accelerator is the work we see as the most foundational in our partnerships. We can't wait to share this with you! In the meantime, you can share some information about your school with us!...

Hello Reader! Rest is not a reward for finishing. It's part of how you finish well. There's a quiet lie that runs underneath the end of the school year, and most educators believe it without ever saying it out loud. The lie goes like this: rest comes after. After the final exam. After the last field trip. After grades are submitted. After the year is officially over. Only then do you get to exhale. But waiting until late May or June to rest means arriving in June with nothing left. And...

Hello Reader! We have been working hard behind the scenes to refine what Plan Z offers schools and educators. We just created something we know teachers and school leaders want. A "School Noise Audit" to help evaluate some of the noise that occupies the environment. Download the PDF and use the audit to work through a set of questions that will give you a noise score. You may be surprised by what you find. Get the School Noise Audit PDF Coming Up : Josephine will be presenting at several...
