Trauma-Sensitive Instruction and Leadership in Schools
As schools continue working through the current pandemic, lots of conversation turns to the challenges of the time and the difficulty students have experienced related to trauma.

Once seen as a place reserved for the school “Geeks,” STEM clubs and Makerspaces are now drawing a variety of students.

Superintendent of Schools Becomes Librarian for the Day
When Dr. Mullins, Superintendent of Brevard Public Schools, showed up to be Librarian for the Day, I was ready to let our students and our program shine. I quickly gave him a tour of the space and then showed him each of our Makerspace stations for the day, the challenge activities for each station and explained how those challenges would change class-by-class.
