How do you find the "it factor" in education? Rob Thornell explains. Leaders shouldn't have to rely on trial and error. The Sixth Essential gives you the plays to apply what works, organize your building for improvement, and get it wrong less. #PortableExcellence #SixthEssential

Trust isn’t built in the meeting. It’s built in what happens after it.
Research tells us trust matters. Execution is how we build it.

Anticipation. Revelation. Realization. 📦 I finally have The Sixth Essential in my hands! Incredible journey building this with Dr. Robert Thornell & Dr. Anthony Bryk (Foreword). Grab a copy and let us know what you think! 👇 a.co/d/0hVVZ8SG #sixthessential #schoolrubric – at Moline, IL
A special day! The Sixth Essential is officially live on Amazon.
As I begin my 28th year in education, I’m grateful to Rob Thornell, the educators who inspired this work, and Anthony S. Bryk for writing the foreword.
We hope it helps educators everywhere.

Just honored and blessed to be able to attend the Model Schools Conference! I am so proud of the hard work that our teachers and administrators do. This year we had two Model Schools: Franklin Elementary and Wilson Middle School. It was just a really awesome conference. – at Goldenrod, FL
Proud to share my latest article with @learningcounsel and @ClassDojo for Districts on how family communication is really about the experience families have.

Super proud of Brecklyn for taking on the challenge at the Future Ikhons 7-8th grade showcase camp this weekend. Only 22 girls participated— most older — and she stepped up as a 6th grader against some serious talent. – at Moline, IL
Had a great time at the Future Ikhons Camp this weekend with Prep Girls Hoop Iowa Head Scout Jeremy Brooks 🏀
As a 6th grader, I got the chance to compete with 7th & 8th graders — loved the challenge! 💪
