If we could get the idea that the kids don't come to school to do work for us, but instead they come to school to experience learning designed by us, we might see some real changes.
Our job is to design for learning to happen.
Not to come up with work for kids to do.

We spend 50% more hours in school than Finland. They get 15 mins of recess every hour. They have NO standardized tests until the PISA in HS & they outperform us every time. When we canβt give students more recess, play, or Arts, but make them sit longer hours, we have it wrong!

#PrimeMinister @jacindaardern resigned today. I am not surprised nor do I blame her. Her treatment, the pile on, in the last few months has been disgraceful and embarrassing. All the bullies, the misogynists, the aggrieved. She deserved so much better. A great leader. Thanks PM!

Students work harder for teachers they like and respect. Relationships before rigor.

Leaders, putting your teachers first is actually putting your students first. Remember the student learning environment is the teacher's working environment.

Also let me be clear...not all schools are good at accommodating neurodiverse educators either. That needs to change. Because if you can't accommodate ND teachers, what are you doing for students?
Creating More Opportunities for Learner Agency katielmartin.com/2022/01/09/β¦ via @KatieMartinEdu Totally agree, unfortunately Iβve seen βstudent agencyβ as a means for lazy teaching and free-for-all-kids-do-what- they-like. π That is not agency!

Itβs impossible to grow as a teacher, a principal, as an educator, or as a person, unless you are willing to change.
Growth requires change. It requires different ways of thinking, acting, and leading.
You cannot stay the same and succeed in a world that is not the same.

We should not assume that a lack of motivation is an intrinsic problem. As leaders, we should first evaluate whether or not we've created an environment that inspires our employees. In order to spark motivation, people must feel seen and valued.
The nurturing of students supersedes the covering of curriculum. wp.me/s6VW47-agency via @RossCoops31

Wonderful post from Russ Walsh: When Best Practice Meets Questionable Methods in Literacy Instruction. I LOVE how he compares what research says with questionable practices. @ruswalsh
