Your Mondays could use a little MESS.

You spend your days thinking about what gifted learners need. Let me spend a little time thinking about what YOU need.

A fresh idea. A question that makes you pause. Something that has you thinking, “Oh, I could try that!”

That’s why I created The Monday MESS. MESS stands for Meaningful Experiences for Student Scholars, and each week, I’ll send a little inspiration your way to help you bring those experiences to life for your gifted learners.

Each Monday, I’ll show up in your inbox with a spark to help you make gifted learning more meaningful. We’ll explore Gifted Onboarding, Designing for Depth, and Genius Hour, with practical ideas and encouragement for the messy middle of putting them into practice.

You don’t have to figure it all out before you try something new. Sometimes, one small shift is where the good stuff begins.

I’d love to help you find yours.

WANT THE MONDAY MESS IN YOUR INBOX THIS WEEK?

Let's find meaning in the mess together.

Some days, an idea clicks and you can’t wait to try it. Other days, you’re staring at a lesson thinking, “There has to be a more meaningful way to do this.”

I’ve been in both places. And I know how helpful it is to have someone say, “Hey, have you thought about this?”

That’s how I hope these emails feel.

I’ll share what I’m noticing, what I’m questioning, and what’s making me excited about gifted learning. My hope is that you’ll find something that makes your work feel a little more manageable and reminds you why you love doing it.

And when something sparks a question or you try an idea? Hit reply. Tell me what happened. Bring me the “that worked!” and the “well, that got messy.”

I’d love to hear what the MESS looks like in your classroom.

Meet The Meaningful M.E.S.S. Method

Gifted educators put tremendous care into their services, often piecing together what to do and what comes next.
Andi created the Meaningful M.E.S.S. Method—Meaningful Experiences for Student Scholars to make that work more manageable and the learning more connected.
Three frameworks guide a meaningful journey:
  • Gifted Onboarding: Who am I as a gifted learner?
  • Designing for Depth: How can I think deeply and embrace challenge?
  • Genius Hour: What can I do with what I know?
