"I loved those essays" "Those assignments were the best" "The work in that class was exciting" "The grades I earned were the greatest reward" Nope. "Mr/Ms _________ really cared about me & my learning." That's what kids left thinking about this year Or not That's on us #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

Teacher credibility = 1.09 ES or 2 1/4 years' learning potential. Credibility is not about your degree on the wall. It's about the degree in which your learners trust that you have the best intentions for them & their learning. It's about trust. #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

If I am pro DI, then do I HAVE to be anti-PBL? If I am pro engagement, then do I HAVE to be anti-content rigorous? If I am pro explicit instruction, do I HAVE to be anti-inquiry. I don't think so. All can serve a purpose for learning depending on our design. #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

Who does well in school? Kids who "know lots." They come this way from homes that "have lots." So, what about those kids from homes with "less?" Our job in school is to make learning happen with ALL learners. Those with lots & those with less. #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

Don't jump on a new initiative. Don't add more interventions. Don't hire more staff. Don't buy a new curriculum. Don't invest in the latest technology. Don't bring new mandates. Don't. DO go look at Tier 1 learning & ask the hard questions. That's where the answers are. #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

Science says this: We, as human beings, all learn in the same way. The principles are the same. HOW learning works. However, knowing WHO is in the room is the first step in customizing the HOW for our learners to learn WHAT we need them to know. WHO HOW WHAT Design #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

Learning doesn't always happen because of teaching. Sometimes no learning happens at all. But our teaching should be a direct result of knowing how to make learning happen. Design for learning has an effect size of 0.70, nearly 2 years' growth. #EduSky #EduCoach

From my latest post: Rigor Because of Relationships "When learners encounter rigor in a relationship-rich environment, they don’t see it as insurmountable. Instead, they see it as an opportunity to grow because they trust their teacher & know their teacher trusts them." #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

Teachers, Want more from your kids? Leaders, Want more from your staff? Earn their trust. Trust doesn't come with your position or title. It comes from you investing in others, pouring value into them first. Not just in words, in action. Then, we can ask for a withdrawal. #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

All the stuff that makes schools great... They start with us, the adults in schools. All the stuff that holds schools back... They end with us, the adults in school. We claim the power. We take that power. We use that power. And that's how things change. When we do. #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

Scaffolds are meant to be TEMPORARY. Otherwise, we'd still be looking at the Statue of Liberty like this... It's no different for learning. Scaffolds were meant to be used & then eventually taken down. #EduSky #EduCoach

We want things to change in our classrooms & schools. We seek it out, target it, work hard at it. But often, we don't see the change in those things. Why? Because WE didn't change in the first place. We change to cause change. #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

What do you notice about SCAFFOLDS? -Designed for access to make things "reachable" -Specific to the task at hand -Support & safety focused -Can be modified or moved -Meant to be temporary No different than the scaffolds we put in place for the learners in our rooms. #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

Sometimes our teaching gets in the way of their learning. Why? Because we started our plans for teaching with "What do I want to teach today?" instead of... Beginning our design for learning with "How will my kids show they have learned _____ today?" #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

Teaching vs Learning One produces cooks who heat up the dishes given to them. The other trains up chefs who become masters at inventing culinary creations. One is status quo. The other gets us the improvement we've been chasing. Time to change the recipe. #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

Whew, it sure is cold outside! A chillier environment for some of our kids can be a classroom with: Little trust Little care Little belonging No amount of scarves or overcoats changes that. The adults in the school can & should. #EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

Improvement in schools doesn't happen because of things on the outside. It happens when the adults on the inside commit to doing what it takes for learning to happen regardless of the outside influences Internal change leads to school wide solutions Don't look outside, look in. #EduSky #EduLead
