Lessons Learned

I continue to learn many lessons in the middle! I have learned that middle school teachers are some of the most amazing people I know. I have learned that despite the widely held belief that public schools in America are not succeeding, I see children working hard and meeting rigorous academic standards on a daily basis. I have learned that if I were to be accused of a crime (I hope this will never be the case), I want a jury comprised of 7th and 8th graders. Without question, students in these two grades believe deeply in fairness and justice for all. I have learned that creating positive relationships with students, staff and parents is the key to success. I have learned that being a middle school educator allows me to have a front row seat to witness some pretty hilarious situations as well as those issues that are very sensitive and often life altering.

As a veteran middle level leader, I can say that I have the best job in the world. I have the opportunity to touch lives, teach valuable life lessons, plant seeds of hope, develop innovative programs and sip from the fountain of youth on a daily basis. Often, I have been told by my friends that I should write a book about my experiences. Since I don't have a lot of spare time these days, I have decided to BLOG instead. I hope to share various experiences, opinions and beliefs on a regular basis (probably less than regular basis).

If my writings should be of interest to you, I hope you will drop me a comment or two in the appropriate place. In this era of being able to reach the entire world through the world wide web, I am counting on the fact that I will attract a few comments.

Need An Experienced Trainer?

I am always excited to share and collaborate! I have been asked to present to students, teachers, parents and leaders in the educational world and beyond. As both a trainer and a keynote presenter, I have had the opportunity to deliver workshops on topics like:

Leadership
Engaging the Millennial Learner
Leading from the Middle
School Improvement Made Easy (Well Sort Of…)
High Impact PD

Some of the organizations I have had the privilege to work with are:
Iksan City Public Schools, South Korea
University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland
McDaniel College, Westminster, Maryland
Michigan City Public Schools, Michigan City, Indiana
National Middle School Association
MSET/MICCA
NECC/ISTE
Montgomery County Department of Recreation, Rockville, Maryland
Maryland Association of Student Councils

For more information about these programs and others I can offer, please email me at tsaunderselms@gmail.com
