Transforming Into a Powerful Third, Fourth, or Fifth Grade Navigator of School Success is a practical guide for young students filled with over 100 strategies, tips, and exercises designed to help kids build strong habits and navigate upper elementary school. Why was this an important book for you to write?

It was an important book for me to write because I wanted students to be able to take charge of their education. School is a full-time job for students. They need strategies to help them to be responsible, well-prepared, and informed for school.

What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?

The ideas that were important for me to share were school success can be hard to navigate, preparation begins at home, and students have a voice. Becoming a successful third, fourth, or fifth-grade student does not come with step-by-step instructions.

What from your experience in education helped you write this book, and why did you want to focus on this age level?

I spent significant time visiting classrooms and providing positive and constructive feedback. I spoke to students. I observed that many of the strategies found in my book were not at the forefront of student educational success. I chose this age level to focus on because those students can be better at taking charge of their education, rather than when they were enrolled in kindergarten to second grade. The students in this age group are also getting closer to beginning middle school.

What is one thing that you hope readers take away from Transforming Into a Powerful Third, Fourth, or Fifth Grade Navigator of School Success?

If students are provided with strategies for school success including a purposeful rationale for each one, they can take charge of their education and achieve. Students can feel motivated, successful, and joyful.
