One of my favorite strategies for students is to revisit the Driving Question Board to see which of their questions they can now answer. It’s awesome to see how much THEY’VE figured out with THEIR investigation ideas! @nextgenstoryli1 #NGSS

Last year our goal was to have a summative assessment for every PE. It was a crazy big goal, but we had an accreditation deadline (eek!). Using @paulandersen protocol was helpful in getting our assessments closer to meeting the PEs.

RULES of positive leadership:
1. Complaining wastes
energy.
2. Listening fixes most
problems.
3. No one is in charge of your
ATTITUDE but you.
4. Time, patience, & process
drive results. Trust the
process.

Kent School District in WA just mandated 200 minutes of science each week throughout elementary school—and you can't pull kids out during that subject. #awesome #progress #itispossible #NGSSchat

When an organization begins to allow mediocrity, excellent people start to walk away.

I think the most powerful instructional leadership can be seen in the collaboration of teachers who are motivating each other to raise the bar. Positive peer pressure from colleagues is more meaningful than supervisory pressure from administrators.
