Dear Fellow Educator, Educating students is a responsibility that grows in complexity each

year. Having served as a teacher and a principal for 39 years, I know that

there are “how” questions that always seem to be on the minds of campus

leaders—How do you make a difference in teaching and learning on your

campus? How do you establish safe learning environments? How do you

elevate instruction? How do you motivate all students? How do you increase

student achievement? How do you improve parent and family engagement?

So how can you support your teachers, increase their effectiveness, and

help them facilitate dynamic classrooms? Our recommendation is that you

equip your teachers with effective strategies that engage students, maximize

instructional time, enhance higher-order thinking, and much, much more.

Now that I have retired from teaching, I have time to focus my efforts on

creating resources with high-impact strategies that I desperately wished had

been readily available when I served as a campus leader and a classroom

teacher. By collaborating with other educators at Mentoring Minds, we have

combined our expertise and experiences in the classroom and in campus

administration to develop numerous tools that offer strategies and techniques

that utilize best practices.

Let us help you with the opportunity to make a powerful impact on your

campus! Explore and choose from our wide range of award-winning teacher

resources, all of which qualify for Title I.

Your partner in education,

Sandra Love, Ed.D.Mentoring Minds

National Distinguished Principal, 1998
