Welcome to the April 2026 Communiqué. In his letter to Timothy, Paul offers a powerful challenge that resonates with every educator today. He writes, “Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God” (2 Timothy 1:6). While we have all been gifted in unique ways, the stewardship of those gifts rests with us. Therefore, Paul tells Timothy to “stir up” the gift—or as other versions say, “fan into flame.”
Tending the Spiritual Fire in this April 2026 Communiqué
Think of a cooking fire. When not in use, it smolders to conserve fuel. However, when it’s time to work, those embers must be fanned with fresh gusts of air to spring back to life. Because the Greek tense used here implies continuous action, we must keep fanning that flame!
Consequently, my question for you today is: Are you tending the fire, or are your embers just smoldering? As educators, we simply cannot give what we do not have. If your fire isn’t hot, you cannot pass that passion on to your students. Let’s commit to tending our fires so we can light the way for the next generation.

Mastery Learning in the April 2026 Communiqué
Why does the PACE system work so well? Recent research from AERO confirms that Mastery Learning is one of the most effective ways to move knowledge into long-term memory.
By sequencing tasks, we prevent “cognitive overload.” This approach allows students to build on existing “chunks” of knowledge. As a result, learning becomes more permanent and less stressful. Whether in science, math, or language, mastery learning remains the gold standard for student achievement.
Keep fanning the flame of excellence in your classrooms!
Blessings,
Kathy
