Being an Educator is Hard.
Let me help give you the tools and resources you need to be the passionate, inspiring educator you’ve always wanted to be…
...because kids deserve the best version of you.
Is This What You Imagined Education Would Be Like?
I’ll admit it. I’ve almost left the education field before.
Sometimes, it just doesn’t seem worth it. Drowning under a sea of paperwork. Trying to cautiously weave through school politics.
At times, it all feels like it’s too much.
But then, a bright-eyed student runs up to me for a high-five, and immediately, I remember what it’s all about.
How to Become the Best Educator You Can Be
My name is Adam Welcome. I’ve been a Teacher, Principal, and Director of Innovation and Technology for a large school district in the Bay Area of California.
I’m also a father, author, speaker, avid runner and have completed 30 marathons.
After years in education, I’ve come to one conclusion:
Kids deserve us at our best.
They need us to believe in them, because too often, they don’t believe in themselves.
They need us to challenge them. To encourage them to grow. To say “yes” more often.
But, as the saying goes, “you can’t pour from an empty cup.”
If you feel like your cup is empty, like you’ve given all you can, like you’re at the end of your rope…
I want to help.
I’m here to give you everything you need, whether it’s resources, motivation, or just a pat on the back, so you can fill up your cup and become the best version of you.
Adam was Principal of the Year for his region in California, a 20 To Watch for the National School Board Association, guest blogger for EdWeek, NAESP magazine, and many other publications. Adam also consults and works with many education companies as a way to improve their product for others!
