We have all heard speeches on the topic of attitude, but we have a feeling this one is going to be a little different than what you are used too. Sam Glenn’s inspiring and artistic approach to educating and empowering will have you looking at your attitude in a whole new way.  If there is one thing for certain in life, it is that our attitude plays an incredible role in everything – both personally and professionally. Sam Glenn is considered one of the leading experts and authorities on the subject of “attitude”, having written more than 30 books related to this subject. Attitude Changes Everything offers an enlightening, entertaining, and educational exploration into how our attitude works, what creates it, feeds it, how to keep it healthy, and finally ways to use your attitude to author positive experiences.  Sam’s speech will recharge your attitude like jumper cables to a car battery.

As F/CE educators, we teach so much more than what our class titles assume. We can cross categorize with our teaching very easily. This project allows students to work on a STEM curriculum while doing an interior design project. Come see what it is all about. Step by step instructions will be given on how to create a barn quilt, ask questions and see final projects. This is a very fun and creative project to incorporate into your curriculum.
