I wanted to document ordinary Saturdays…yesterday was a significant, life-changing, really-big-deal event. We met our new son.

Hello there! May you find inspiration to celebrate your story, even in the middle of the muddle.
I’m the director of a professional development consortium of 30 schools in northern Indiana committed to empowering student-centered learning. I write books, articles and other stuff because I’m sure stories + teachers make the world a better place. Most importantly, I’m completely charmed by my forever family. Welcome to my corner of the world.
Discover. Play. Build. is full of resources to make teaching writers manageable and enjoyable. You’ll find video minilessons, downloadable resources and even a preview copy of my new book!

OK, so this made me tear up totally! He looks like my boys when I adopted them! I am praying for the Ayres family!
