If you are a new educator please read this! You may want to stay in the profession more than 5 years after reading some of Dr. Brassells' books or hearing him speak.
This is my 30th year in education, not only in the classroom but with state and federal positions.
After retiring 7 years ago I was asked to teach in a wonderful private school in Austin, TX.
After ending the school year and knowing we had to take our summer professional development my teammate and I decided to go to the SDE(Staff Development for Educators)8th Annual Conference on June 9 and 10, 2008 in Austin, TX.
They offered this workshop and you can imagine after going to quite a few,conducting them and sitting on panels my thought was....let's get it done and enjoy the summer.
Besides hearing Dr. G. Reid Lyon speak for the first time many years ago I have never been so excited about my vocation....teaching.
Dr. Brassell you are a gift to all of us and you will be remembered as "one of those teachers" who made a difference in my life. I'm 60 years old and so excited about life back in the classroom!
Thank you for lighting that fire again....I don't think it ever went out! You just threw in the right fuel!
Now I'm off to hear you again all day...can't wait.
Bless you.

South Bay Adult School Parent Talk by: Susan Robinson
I loved your talk on Tuesday night. I listened intently and did not take notes, as you suggested. I would love to have the notes and the recommended book lists. Thank you. Susan

Love it, love it, love it! by: Mrs. Mikesell
I love this site because it does everything for me. I don't have to take the time to keep up to date on the newest or best books!
I was lucky enough to see Danny Brassell at the Florida Kindergarten Teacher Conference in Orlando, and it was just amazing. He's energetic, fun and smart.
Thank you for this great site and being an inspiration to teachers!
