I’m so excited to share with you the upcoming changes to the site and the release of my new book!

This summer, Ms. Powell’s Management Ideas for Teachers (mspowell.com) will be redirected to TheCornerstoneForTeachers.com. The majority of downloads, photos, and links will be updated and available on the new site, but if there’s something you really need to access from mspowell.com, you may want to download the document, print the page, or bookmark the link just in case.

The new name, web design, and content will be designed as a supplement to my book, “The Cornerstone:  Classroom Management That Makes Teaching More Effective, Efficient, and Enjoyable.”  The book is currently in production with Xulon Press and should be available in bookstores by mid-July.  You will be able to pre-order the book through my website beginning in mid-June.

The final table of contents and more information about “The Cornerstone” were added on May 29, 2008, and can be viewed at http://mspowell.com/thebook.html.  You can also download a FREE chapter from the book, entitled “How To Teach ANY Procedure”. 

I have created a Yahoo Group called ‘TheCornerstoneForTeachers’ to replace the old mailing lists, which were almost constantly full. The group combines the mailing list, chat boards, and message forums into one easy-to-use system.   You can join this group by clicking here, or using the homepage of mspowell.com.   Please check the group's message boards or sign up to be notified via email for updates and further information about web changes and book publication.

Thanks so much to those who have encouraged me through email and the guestbook, donated to the site, and purchased items from Amazon through mspowell.com.  The site has grown and expanded beyond anything I could have initially visualized, and that’s been due in large part to the overwhelming support I’ve received from teachers all around the world.  I believe you will be as thrilled as I am with the new website, and that “The Cornerstone” will be an incredible resource for you. 

Enjoy the end of the school year, and stay in touch over the summer!

Hi, i am recently returning to the classroom after 10 years in a quasi-administrative role (thanks to CA budget cuts). I really appreciate websites like yours to help me return to the classroom environment. Thanks
