      To my best friend and husband, Connor, for always making me laugh and standing by my side; to my parents, Keith and Hope, for loving me unconditionally and giving me a life I could only dream of; and to my beautiful daughter, Reagan, who has truly taught me the meaning of the word agape.

       Acknowledgments

      Thank you to all teachers everywhere! I am proud to say I am a teacher, and I believe it is one of the most important professions in the world. Specifically, I want to thank the collaborative writing team that coauthored this series of five books. I have never worked with a more dedicated, fun-loving, collaborative team of lifelong learners. Thanks to the Otus team for your support and to my family for putting up with our writing marathons. I give my deepest thanks to Douglas Rife and the entire team at Solution Tree for helping all of us craft this dream into a reality. Wow!

      —Meg Ormiston

      Thank you to the wonderful women I worked with on this book. You have all inspired me, and I have learned so much from you. I’d also like to thank my district, Berwyn South School District 100, for allowing teachers to blossom and try new things. Finally, I’d like to thank two of the most influential teachers and people in my life: Annie Forest and Anna Van Asselt. You pushed my thinking every day and made me realize that good teachers always learn and challenge themselves.

      —Lauren Slanker
