Timmy and I did SO much research before sending Sonny to school. We wanted to make sure we sent him to a place that was the right fit for all of us. As Sonny was wrapping up his time at the Portable Classroom to go to the Montessori School he is now at full time, I had this amazing conversation with Diane Tavenner. She is the co-founder and CEO of Summit Public Schools, a leading network of public schools that operates 11 schools in California and Washington, as well as a free program that enables schools across the U.S. to implement Summit Learning, a nationally recognized personalized approach to teaching and learning. She is also author of Prepared: What Kids Need for a Fulfilled Life. During our chat Diane shares her teaching philosophy and tips for developing daily routines with our kids!    Visit Amazon to get a copy of Prepared: What Kids Need for a Fulfilled Life   PARENTS!
