Brenda Yoho has spent a career in education, working as a teacher in grade K-5, an assistant principal, an elementary principal, and a middle school principle before reaching district level leadership as Director of Educational Support Services. Along the way she has battled Crohn's Disease, survived a lightning strike, overcome breast cancer, and come back from a near-fatal car accident. She recently published a book entitled Lead with Two Rules, and we talked with her about how those two rules have changed lives for hundreds of teachers and thousands of students.
Among the resources we talked about:
Brenda talked about the impact the murder of Jessica Roach had on her and her community. Here is a story about the crime and its aftermath.
Brenda has had a close relationship with researcher and bullying expert Dorothy Espelage. Her books include Bullying Prevention and Intervention: Realistic Strategies for Schools, Handbook of Classroom Management, and Feeling Safe in School: Bullying and Violence Prevention Around the World.
Brenda’s book is Lead with Two Rules: Feeling Good & Feeling Safe. It not only distills her insights but also includes dozens of pointers to resources for implementing them.
