The #ClearTheList debate is vital. It confronts the true cost of education. Moving forward, how do we shift this powerful social media energy from individual wishlist-clearing to collective, structural advocacy for lasting, equitable school funding? ❓

Relying on charity from #ClearTheList creates inequity. Resource allocation becomes a social media lottery, not a right. Not every list gets seen. Education should be a stable, public investment, not an unstable, unpredictable handout. We need #SystemChange. 📉

The reality is teachers are spending hundreds out of pocket. #ClearTheList is a necessary bridge, ensuring students have what they need today. It fosters genuine appreciation and makes the classroom a vibrant learning space. Go clear a list! 📚 #TeacherAppreciation

#ClearTheList is a systemic failure disguised as charity. Crowdfunding classroom basics normalizes the idea that districts & governments don't need to properly fund education. We are treating a symptom, not curing the disease. We need a movement for #FundOurSchools.

It's back-to-school! The compassion of #ClearTheList provides immediate, tangible relief. Teachers shouldn't have to choose between their wallets and their students. Every book, marker, and pencil purchased puts resources where they belong. Thank you for supporting educators!

What is your school planning to do to manage cell phones in 2025-26? What is your policy/plan? What is the enforcement plan? Share specifics here. #classroomsincrisis

Not a brand new computer, but an updated old one. Nothing like having multiple systems fail at the same time!

"That sigh" from experienced teachers hits hard. Because I have been there and done that. And because I am now the admin who sometimes is doing the same thing.

Time to fly. This time at midnight and a good chunk of the way around the world. All to visit a new place and learn some new skills. #educatorslife #classroomsoncrisis

Heading to the Shanghai Fashion Week show today. No idea what I am getting in to. But I am helping to chaperone 15 students. #youonlyliveonce

Given the choice to talk to an aboriginal singer/songwriter/speaker and see an influencer. I will choose the singer songwriter every time.

Leadership can be the loneliest job in the world. Making decisions in isolation, carrying burdens silently, maintaining that confident exterior when you're uncertain inside. Sound familiar? There's a better way. Read more: shaneleaning.beehiiv.com/p/school-lea...

Wrestling with questions about group development. High functioning groups require work. How do we train out middle leaders to bring out the best in their groups? How do we model for them? Questions posed today by Kendall Zoller.

Every day I think of how blessed I am to work with amazing people. Educators all of them who care about students. This week, we sent many of them to the #EARCOS teachers conference to present. I am blessed to work with such great educators.

Yelling at the ref is never the answer. But sometimes it does make you feel better.

I am proctoring a make-up exam for an Economics teacher. A student started asking me to clarify what a question was. I know less about economics class than he thinks.

I missed most of the presentation to the students. But, when I walked in and her the presenter talking about her experience as a 2nd language learner, telling students she learned all the profantiy with the help of her friends, I knew she was doing just fine.

Today, as I read social media blowing up about the new president, I have one thought. I have a basketball tournament to help run and school to keep going. There are more important things in life than politics.

Everett H @everettis.bsky.social · 20/01/2025

Some days are just busy at school. Today was one of those days. #APAC basketball tournament, author visit, second semester started, new students on campus, just to name a few things. It was a good day though. Long, but good. Tomorrow, we do it again with less happening.

I am working on my writing this year. Why? Because I need to and I have set it as a goal. Here is my first posting about The Advice Trap by Micahel Bungay Stanler. If you enjoy it, share it. Give me feedback and help me become a better writer. everettis.medium.com/the-advice-t...

The Advice Trap. We all get caught in it.

In a recent Cognitive Coaching course I took, the leader took the opportunity to offer recommendations for books that we might be…

Time to fly home. What will this coming year bring? I don’t have any idea. But I can’t wait to see what is next. I didn’t make resolutions for this year. But I did put a list together of my goals. Now it is time to work on myself. Shanghai. See you soon.

Change Starts Here' launches this Spring, but it's more than just a book. It's a testament to every school that's had the courage to define their own path. Can't wait to share what Efraim and I have learned.

Book cover for 'Change Starts Here' by Shane Leaning and Efraim Lerner. The cover features a gradient background in coral and orange tones, with large white text for 'CHANGE STARTS' and black text for 'HERE'. Below is a white subtitle in a downward-pointing triangle that reads 'WHAT IF EVERYTHING YOUR SCHOOL NEEDED WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU?'

I am not sure if this is spectacular or a spectacle. Maybe it is both. The pink running lights don’t show up in the picture. In 2025, if you choose to be anything, be yourself and stand out.

What they don't tell you about being an educational administrator. The amount of time 1 incident will take and how much real estate it wil take in your week to resolve.

Some days I am just tired from all that I am doing. I am blessed and the work is good. But I am tired. Then I remember. I am also blessed with an amazing team of people who support each other.

Home. House is now quiet. 4 days of learning about coaching. My brain is full of new thoughts. But also, open to possibilities in the future. Opportunities abound. Now, time for sleep because tomorrow comes early.

Day 2 of Cognitive Coaching. More great work. More knowledge. More pages. Better conversation about potentials for my future.

Everett H @everettis.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

15 pages of notes and assorted information from 8 hours of training today. Doesn’t seem like a lot but is so much good information. Great start to 4 days of training. #cognitivecoaching
