School culture usually doesn't have a single author. What are you doing to make your school's culture better for students and staff?

Teachers ARE the key to student learning and the quality of a school, so let's not limit how and when we show this! ascd.org/blogs/is-teacher-ap…

How did the teacher feel about the lesson? What pleased her, what would he do differently? "What did you learn?" is the best question to ask in a post-observation conference.

Effective principals are good listeners. The key to a productive post-observation conference is the questions that are asked, not the strategies that are shared.

Principals can create a school culture in which everyone grows and cares for one another. Make time for collegiality and fun, and don't have a designated parking space for the principal. ascd.org/blogs/developing-yo…

Discomfort is an integral part of growth. We know that, yet it's hard to embrace leaving our comfort zones. We educators encourage our students to do this, and we should model it for them. We need to let them know when we are uneasy, when we try and fail, and how we learn.
