A few great teachers put the lesson plan together for this video! Go check it out!!
1/ First ladies have helped to move the nation forward, said @AnitaBMcBride, a co-author of “Remember the First Ladies.”
Eleanor Roosevelt established a model for activism by championing civil rights, women’s rights and global human rights. Later first ladies followed her example, advocating for issues important to them.
Learn more about their contributions through In Pursuit: Lessons of American Leadership, a new documentary special produced by @RetroReport, based on @inpursuitusa by More Perfect. It brings the leadership lessons of American presidents and first ladies to life for America’s 250th anniversary.
Tune in Oct. 27 at 10/9c (check local listings) on @PBS to learn more: retroreport.org/articles/in-…

Kids aren't soft.
Every year HS coaches get thousands of kids to voluntarily run 60-80 miles per week in the heat of the summer.
When kids care, when the work has meaning and purpose, they will go to the well.
Pointless hard work on things that don't matter decreases motivation
Just finished reading this book, already have copies for all my assistant coaches! Is a must read if you coach girls sports! Can’t wait to implement some of the lessons learned. Thanks @ddosanjhtaylor for writing a great book!

PREP COACHES OF THE CENTURY!
#24. Rick Caldwell
He came to a program without a single team championship, and over a dozen years built @AthleticsWsr into one of the state's premier dynasties.
Caldwell won 9 titles, and coached up 20 individual @IAwrestle State champions.

PREP ATHLETES OF THE CENTURY!
#10. Ashley Miller
During her career with @THSTigersTF, Ashley set a record that's still never been broken. She won 15 career State track titles, and led the @TiptonXC and Track teams to four straight State titles each.
Excited to be back with this group!

This is a fantastic video about school lunches and government funding! Another must-watch by @RetroReport
