I’m obsessed with great leadership. But when I was young, I wasted years and opportunities not knowing what great leadership looked like. Learn from my mistakes. 17 clear signals you have a great leader:

“The main thing is to go far not fast, for students to learn deeply … a teacher is not alone, they are in a community” “if you want to go fast go alone, if you want to go far go to get her” Prof Frederick Leung @icme_15 Great words of advice! #icme15

NASA Webb Telescope
@NASAWebb25 Jun 2024
With the help of a natural “magnifying glass,” Webb has made the first discovery of star clusters in a galaxy that existed less than 500 million years after the big bang — when the universe was about 3% of its current age: esa.int/Science_Exploration/… Zoom into this image below ⬇️
A field of galaxies on the black background of space. In the middle is a collection of dozens of yellowish galaxies that form a foreground galaxy cluster. Among them are distorted linear features, which mostly appear to follow invisible concentric circles curving around the center of the image. The linear features are created when the light of a background galaxy is bent and magnified through an effect called gravitational lensing. A variety of brightly colored, red and blue galaxies of various shapes are scattered across the image, making it feel densely populated.

What to do about standardized tests … cultofpedagogy.com/standardi… interesting take. Harm reduction as a problem solving approach.

Standardized Tests Aren’t Going Anywhere. So What Do We Do? | Cult of Pedagogy

When working to solve the problems created by testing, it helps to move away from all-or-nothing thinking and towards the idea of reducing harm.

Roughly 5% of the energy dispersed when a metal is deformed is spent moving the atoms around, but the remaining 95% is dispersed as heat. This is why one can make fire with metal hit by a hammer [📹 tomkovlebduka: buff.ly/3QFHxI1] xitter.cf/blabla112345/status/16…

Quote attributed to educator Melody Hawkins: "My advice for new leaders: 1) Always do what’s best for kids. 2) Treat teachers like the professionals they are. 3) Families are your allies. 4) Remember that you don’t have to know everything about everything. Just make sure you know who to ask when you don’t know."

I worry about the proliferation of Rosenshine stuff. I think it's a great piece of work -genuinely - but it's a *summary*. It only gives the scantest details as to what to actually *do* in the classroom. People leading teaching must know more, and must communicate more.
