Everyone wants transformation until it asks them to change. Growth requires uncomfortable conversations, new habits, and the courage to leave what's familiar behind. Comfort maintains the status quo. Transformation demands something more.

I feel like teacher engagement really took a hit after COVID. We need to be open and honest when having this discussion!
We talk about student engagement a lot—& rightly so. But did you know that teacher engagement is just as important? In fact, when teacher engagement dips, it has a negative effect on student engagement. When teacher engagement is high, it positively impacts both student engagement and achievement. Get an overview of the 4️⃣ dimensions of teacher engagement now: bit.ly/4dUBZHm

If you want different results for kids, start by changing the words you use to describe them. Change the label… and you’ll change your thinking.

“Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul’s resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.” — ​William James

When Tier 1 is the engine driving everything: Achievement increases Misbehaviors decline Learning happen Stop throwing money, programs, interventions & the kitchen sink at Tiers 2 & 3. Tier 1 is where our work is & the problems get solved. It requires intentional design

🔢 A calculator can crunch numbers, but it can’t measure learning. The most meaningful grades come from professional judgment—not arithmetic. #LeadInclusion #GradingForGrowth #EduSky #UDL #EdChat

Well said!
One of my definitions of a healthy school culture goes like this: Administrators give teachers the benefit of the doubt… and teachers give administrators the benefit of the doubt.
