October’s Expert Call – Danny Koefke author of “How to Survive (& perhaps thrive) on a Teacher’s Salary
Monday, August 30th, 2010
The Whole Teacher Institute of Balance & Wellness is launching on September first and part of your membership includes 2 calls a month and their recordings posted in our membership forum.
I am so excited to announce the first "Expert", Danny Koefke.
Danny Kofke is currently a special education teacher in Georgia. He has also taught kindergarten and first grade before moving into special education. Danny's love of teaching others and finances led him to write the book "How To Survive (and perhaps thrive) On A Teacher's Salary."
Danny has been been featured in a number of publications including USA Weekend, PARADE, Yahoo Finance, Instructor Magazine, AOL.com, The Atlanta Journal Constitution, CBS MoneyWatch.com, FoxBusiness.com, The Wall Street Journal, ABCNews.com, Consumer's Digest, Bottom Line Personal, Your Family Today and The Huffington Post. He has also been interviewed on over 100 radio shows and on numerous televisionshows including The 700 Club, Fox & Friends, CNN, The Clark Howard Show, MSNBC, Good Day Atlanta andThe Daily Buzz.
Many people think that figuring out financial matters and investing are difficult and are intimidated by it. Danny wants to show others that if this school teacher can figure it out then they can too.

MTA Summer Conference 2010
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010Just finished my presentation to 20 amazing educators at the MTA Summer Conference 2010 here in WIlliamstown, MA. I wish I could put into words how energized and blessed I feel after working with such an amazing group of educators. I love what I do!
We were able to use our time together to really get into examining what are our top teacher stressors and what do we need to do to set ourselves on a path to wellness and balance. I was pleased by not only the quantity but also the quality of the actions steps that were created from this group in such a short time.
I love this venue because the group is always diverse, positive, and supportive of each other. It reminds me of why I am doing what I do. Thanks to each of the participants for sharing 3 hours of your busy schedule with me. I love being able to hear your experiences and see the sparks as you join me on the journey to balance before burnout!

Tomorrow morning I make the pilgrimage with many other Massachusetts teachers to WiIlliamstown, MA for my second year at The Massachusetts Teachers Association Summer conference 2010 being held at
I am excited to be presenting Balance Before Burnout: Make a plan to beat stress which is the course that explains the basics in regards to teacher stress and the Balance Reserves that are truly the backbone of The Whole Teacher.
After attending last year I am looking forward to meeting more fellow educators that amaze me with their professionalism and passion. I loved connecting with people from across
But most of all I am looking forward to a piece of quiet alone in my dorm room where I will have some free time to continue working on some exciting changes coming to The Whole Teacher. I have a big vision for The Whole Teacher and the pieces are definitely coming together. I promise that when I return I will be sharing some more details on what's to come and what it means for you.
I will be blogging from the conference so keep an eye out tomorrow and see what tips I have picked up throughout the day. Who knows? Maybe I'll even film the next video edition of The Whole Teacher TV from the
