What if learning was exciting? What if students felt important and empowered every time they walked into the building? What if parents looked forward to calls from their children's teachers and principals, instead of cringing when the school's number popped up on their phones? To Todd Nesloney and Adam Welcome, those aren't far-fetched what ifs; they can (and should) be a reality for every teacher, school, parent, and student. In Kids Deserve It!, Todd and Adam encourage you to think big and make learning fun and meaningful for students. While you're at it, you just might rediscover why you became an educator in the first place. Learn why you should be calling parents to praise your students (and employees). Discover ways to promote family interaction and improve relationships for kids at school and at home. Be inspired to take risks, shake up the status quo, and be a champion for your students. #KidsDeserveIt

Here’s to Helping Girls Find Their Real Power! 
Girl Power! It’s a popular marketing message that shows up on pink T-shirts across the nation. But sparkly words are not enough to get girls to realize their innate value and reach for their true potential. 
In Empower Our Girls, educators Lynmara Colón and Adam Welcome collaborate with a strong cast of contributing authors to shine a light on simple, meaningful changes that need to take place in schools and society at large to help girls achieve more. 
The words used to describe girls and define traditional roles can set unintentional limits for girls. It’s time for a change! It’s time for girls to hear the truth:
<ul>
<li>Tears are not a sign of weakness.</li>
<li>Being bold enough to ask for what you want doesn’t make you “bossy.”</li>
<li>Glass ceilings are meant to be shattered.</li>
</ul>
We must empower our girls to chase their dreams. Their future—and ours—depends on it! “Our girls are filled with so much worth and potential, and it is our moral imperative to help them find and share it.” —Ramona Dunn, principal “This is a must-read for those in school leadership who wish to truly ‘empower’ our girls.” —Rodney Kay, superintendent “As a mother and an elementary principal, I’m looking forward to using this book for inspiration as I raise my own daughter.” —Lindsy Stumpenhorst, principal “The book is filled with calls to action, some simple and some seemingly impossible, and all meant to empower girls to embrace their own bodies and minds and make the world their own.” —Karen Richardson, VSTE president, professor

It's time to take a stand for what teachers deserve.Every day, educators across the country give students their very best.

Whether you're an educator, an ally, or an advocate, if you're ready to ignite change in your community, consider this your invitation to be a spark. Get ready to fill your bucket as you hear from real educators doing the real work with the right focus, just like you. You have the power to align, and it starts with reading Teachers Deserve It --LaVonna Roth, creator of Ignite Your S.H.I.N.E.(R), speaker, and author The wisdom, awareness, and inspiration that Rae and Adam ignite in Teachers Deserve It will have people wanting to run to their local and state legislators to enact change. --Traci Browder, author and host of the podcast Intelligogy Life takes a village, but the true responsibility of the village is to make sure everyone is getting better daily and pushing the status quo.
