School leaders...
Teachers...
Learners...
Improvement will ALWAYS feel uncomfortable.
Don't fear the discomfort. Embrace it.
The success you've been after will eventually follow the uncomfortable improvement.
That's how this "getting better" thing works.

If we do the same thing THIS year as we did LAST year, why would we expect different results?
We might get different results by accident & nothing to do with us.
So if we want something different this year, then WE have to BE different.
That's what adults in schools do.

Our first reaction to any data we get should be directed at us.
What about our design & delivery of the learning produced this outcome?
Not,
These kids can't or these kids won't...

Questions for summer #7:
Buy-in is just compliance; commitment is action.
Schools thrive when adults fully commit to learners.

Want to have better readers in middle & high schools?
Feed all the content knowledge you can into kids in K-5.
As soon as they can decode the written word, it's time to load them up with the background knowledge needed to aid understanding & comprehension.

ALT "Teachers don’t always need a new strategy, a new activity or a new resource. Sometimes, what they need is encouragement. They need to be reminded that they’re professionals, that they’re good at what they do and that what they’re doing every day really does matter." —Leader Danny Steele

Here's one to think about:
A grade ends a conversation about learning.
Feedback starts one.
That's all I have to say about that.

Students in Ms. Casanova, Mrs Horner, and Mrs Alexander’s tutoring groups enjoyed a virtual field trip to the Elephant Sanctuary. After reading about Flora, who is a retired circus elephant, we couldn’t wait to learn more! Thank you to @NiswongerFound @ElephantsTN!
