Jane Blomstrand has over 30 years of experience in education as a teacher of the year, literacy specialist, school principal, and director of a teacher credentialing program.
Her first book "Meet the Principal: My Journey Beyond the Curriculum"" started out as a response to her grandkids question "What DOES a Principal Do All Day?" It quickly developed into a book of vignettes about the intriguing challenges a school leader faces and the many relationships a principal forms with students, staff and parents.

Principals, teachers and parents would enjoy and relate to the variety of stories included about the crucial importance of getting to know our students
