Monday, October 31, 2016. All students deserve opportunities to find their passion. In a week that kicks off with many of us participating in trick or treat, I got a real treat on Saturday night. I got to attend the Kentucky Music Educators Association’s (KMEA) State Marching Band Championships. It was an incredible event and I was honored to be a part of it. The reality is we teach children and those children need the opportunity to experience music, art, career and technical education, science, social ...

Monday, January 9, 2017. Thank a board of education member. January holds various meanings for different people. It is the beginning of a new year, a new legislative year, a time to refresh ourselves and I would argue our perceptions, and a time of hope. There is another aspect of January that many overlook, it is Local Board of Education Appreciation Month. I call on all Kentuckians to thank their local board members. Even if there is a board member you do not agree with them, thank them for their t...

Monday, December 12, 2016. Feeling blessed to work for our children’s futures. So, with all of this going on, why do I feel I am so blessed? Simply put, I love my job! I am blessed because I get to work with and for the students of the Commonwealth. They are why we do what we do. So, in this wonderful holiday season that is so focused on our children, I ask that each of you recommit yourselves to making the lives of our students better. I wish all of you Merry Christmas and the happiest of holidays!

Friday, February 26, 2016. Making good on the Commonwealth Commitment. Five years ago, my predecessor, Terry Holliday, asked superintendents and local board of education chairs to sign a pledge. It was called the Commonwealth Commitment to College and Career Readiness. While the 2015 deadline for the Commonwealth Commitment has come and gone, and many of the school, district and state leaders involved in it have moved on, the Kentucky Department of Education and school districts statewide must not become...

Monday, May 16, 2016. The meaning behind the symbol. Last week, we unveiled the new logo for the Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) via a news release. I am sure that some of you found this to be expected with new leadership, and while somewhat accurate, I would like to explain the logo a bit more in this blog. Equity, Achievement, Integrity. As I have said before, equity, achievement and integrity are the guiding principles of our work together for the betterment of our students. Monday, May 9, 2016.

Monday, November 28, 2016. KSB students inspire others. Earlier this month, I had the pleasure to attend a book premier party, but this was no ordinary launch event. It was the kickoff for the book, We Can Hear You Just Fine: Clarifications from the Kentucky School for the Blind. Authored by several current and former students of our own state school for the blind and visually impaired. Who are we, as adults/educators to decide who deserves opportunities?

Monday, July 25, 2016. We need your help! Communication, ironically, is something we always seem to be discussing. Whether you are a Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) employee, a teacher, an administrator or in the business sector, communication is a big deal. So, why is it that communication can be so difficult? And quite frankly, how is it that as a whole, the profession of education tends to be so bad at it? How is that possible? After some reflection, I think the answer is threefold. As the Stat...
