Welcome to The Dakota Owl—a space created by an owl, for other owls!

As a proud member of the Ag Ed community, I’ve made it my mission to support fellow teachers (like you!) by sharing meaningful resources, inspiring stories, and opportunities for growth. Whether you’re looking for lesson plans, classroom tips, or ways to recharge your professional journey, you’ve landed in the right place.

Here’s what you’ll find here…
Classroom Resources: Check out my Teacher Tool Box! You’ll find tools and ideas designed to save you time and help your students thrive, put to the test in my own classroom!

Stories from the Field: I know this career can make you feel isolated, it may feel like no one understands the struggles of being an Ag Teacher. In Lessons in Life, I’ll share my real reflections, wins (and fails, there’s a lot of those), and lessons learned, and allow you to share yours!

Professional Development: In the Teacher’s Lounge, you’ll find my book clubs, self-paced courses, and activities to elevate your teaching and rekindle your passion for agriculture.

Together, we can cultivate not only successful classrooms but also a supportive community of teachers who are as committed to growth as they are to shaping the future of agriculture.

So, take a look around, get inspired, and let’s grow together!
