I started making shout-outs for myself because I noticed how loud and heavy the world can feel at times. Social media, the news, and even entertainment often focus on pointing fingers and placing blame. It was beginning to wear on me, affecting my mental well-being and creating unnecessary stress. I turned to something my dad often reminds me of, there is no greater form of personal growth than being of service to others.
This reminder planted a seed. I began thinking about how I could bring more positivity into spaces that often feel overwhelming. I wanted to celebrate the feeling of connection, the joy of working alongside educators and schools who are doing thoughtful, inspiring work.
These shout-outs are small moments to honor those who often go unseen. They are a way to recognize the quiet brilliance happening all around us. So let’s take a moment to shine a light on others.
Do you know an educator or school that is doing something meaningful? Someone who deserves to be seen and celebrated? I would love to hear about them. Let’s give them a well-earned shout-out together.
Educator Shout-Outs
I have been fortunate to cross paths with incredible educators who move quietly and intentionally through their days. They do not seek recognition, but their presence is deeply felt. They spark curiosity, share joy freely, and offer support without hesitation. Some I have never met in person, yet their influence has shaped my thinking and grounded my practice.
These are the people who remind me that we do not walk this path alone. They form our professional tribe, because they are willing to show up, to reflect openly, and to say “I’m still learning.” They model what it means to grow with purpose and humility.
I carry deep gratitude for these educators who continue to impact me, whether from across the hall or across the globe. Here are just a few who have lit the way for me.

School Shout-Outs
In my work as an independent consultant, I have had the privilege of visiting schools in many different stages of their learning journey. None of them were perfect. What drew me in was the sense of becoming; the intentional steps to grow, reflect, and respond to the needs of their community.
What makes a school memorable are the people, spaces, and shared values that guide their decision-making. These are places where learning feels alive, collaboration is genuine, and the culture reflects a commitment to something greater than any single individual.
Here are a few schools that have left a lasting impression on me, because they are deeply engaged in the work of becoming.
