Incredible experience at the EnergyBusSchools Conference in Charlotte! Our speakers provided amazing strategies & value, and Jon Gordon delivered the perfect opening keynote. We even certified Energy Bus for Schools Trainers at the event. I know these educators are fueled up!
Before I was introduced to Jon Gordon and The Energy Bus, these were the 10 rules I had in my office. Middle schoolers connected with Kobe and I enjoyed talking about rule 1. Thanks to Dr. Jim Van Allan- Energy Bus for Schools and the EnergyBusSchools our elementary Ss now thrive on “You are the driver!”
“Our job as a leader is to make hard decisions…we should only be making decisions that require our skill set, experience, or knowledge. Too often we try to make all the decisions…taking the opportunity from someone else”- to grow, develop, and lead. -Via Jon Gordon Podcast
We had such an incredible time at our new staff EnergyBusSchools Onboarding event on Wed. We worked to bring new staff up to speed so that we can hit the ground running when students return. On new folks not only learned about the Energy Bus, but also what it means to #RepTheRock
“It comes down to root vs. fruit. What are we investing in. Are we investing in the root - culture, the relationships, commitment to people, professional growth. Or is just fruit - data & numbers, which is important - but a focus on the ROOT will produce the FRUIT” Dr. Jim Van Allan- Energy Bus for Schools

Shoutout to DA magazine for featuring The Energy Bus for Schools in their article on must-read education books! Check it out here: districtadministration.com/4-new-educatio… This inspiring book by Jon Gordon continues to transform school culture year-round! energybusforschools.com/ebsbook/
Full circle between Sun. night and Mon. morning. Sunday I graduated from the Learning Forward Academy ‘24 where I focused on implementing a theory of change (that was tied to the EnergyBusSchools). This morning I spent time reflecting for Dr. Jim Van Allan- Energy Bus for Schools on our success at the Rock!
This is a great episode, especially if you are a parent. I don’t always get it right (most of the time I don’t) but “have to” vs “get to” can make a huge difference in your life. E+P=O Great work Dr. Jim Van Allan- Energy Bus for Schools
