This was one of the harder posts I have had to create.
What are my top ten reasons for joining Pinnacle? Well, the more I think about it, the more I realize there aren't that many reasons for me.  I became a Pinnacle Leader for my students. Everything I have done, learned, and brought back into my classroom has been for the benefit of their education.

I know this term is tossed around an awful lot. It is mentioned in several spots on the yearly teaching evaluation forms we all see. But, I am not sure that everyone truly understands what it means to be a 21st century teacher.  During a Pinnacle training session, an article by Josh Stumpenhorst entitled Being a 21st Century Teacher, really helped clarify those expectations. His main points link not only to being a master of technology, but also being connected, reflective, and an advocate. The article makes some great points and is worth the read.
