When Home and School Connect

Unlocking The 8th Habit for Little Leaders

The 8th Habit offers us an opportunity to think about how the youngest learners can use their unique talents and passion to make things better in their world. Join Molly, Dr. Eve, and guest Pennie Montes, Kindergarten Teacher and Lighthouse Coordinator at Chaparral Elementary in Arizona as they talk about practical ways to help early learners unlock their genius and use it to help others.

When Home and School Connect

What does it take to help the littlest learners feel your respect for their families? Join Molly, Dr. Eve, and guest Jennifer Scheid, Pre-K Teacher at Bright Adventures, as they explore what we can do to help students feel honored, special, and like they can bring a little bit of home with them to school?

Daily Routines to Nurture Student Voice

Imagine if even the littlest students felt like they were such an important part of the class that there was no way they could be absent from school. Their class needs them and their voice matters! Join Molly, Dr. Eve, and guest Meredith Noce, Principal at Verrado Heritage Elementary School in Arizona, as they explore the intentional things teachers can do to build that kind of connection.

Little Leaders Take the Lead

Can the youngest students truly lead their own learning? When we release learning to students, we make an intentional choice to empower them. We step back, so they can step up. Join Molly, Dr. Eve, and Janitta Davis, Pre-Kindergarten Teacher at A. B. Combs Magnet Elementary, as they explore the benefits and challenges of empowering the littlest learners to lead their own learning.

See It, Hear It, Feel It: A Pre-K Leadership Classroom

When we describe an early-learning classroom, we tend to think of what we see—the bright colors, the alphabet and number lines, labeled backpack shelves. However, we know that a leadership environment entails so much more! Join Molly, Dr. Eve, and guest Heather Rossi, preschool teacher at Plano Elementary, as they talk about how to move beyond what we see, into a space where students feel like they are loved and they belong.
