Rosenshine’s Principles of Instruction remain one of the most reliable, evidence-informed frameworks for improving classroom practice, because they align so closely with how learning happens. In this edition of DistillED, I bring the full series together into one clear, practical guide.

A Stanford neuroscientist warns high cortisol wrecks memory, enlarges your fear center, and make your brain feel broken.

If I wanted to fix it naturally, I'd do these 8 things every day:

1. Walk barefoot on grass for 5–7 minutes.

At @KayTwelve, we helped a rural district refresh one classroom. No big budget, just a bold principal & flexible spaces. Engagement rose, teachers collaborated, families felt the energy. It became the model for change. Sometimes, transformation starts with one room.

I can't stop thinking about this poem...

The final two lines bear repeating:

And make the ordinary come alive for them. The extraordinary will take care of itself.

How often have you been convinced that your joy, contentment, and fulfillment were on the other side of some extraordinary achievement?

• I'll be content when I get that promotion.
• I'll be fulfilled when I make director.
• I'll be joyful when I find a partner.

This "when, then" psychology traps our happiness in a conditional statement:

You get to be happy when you achieve that thing.

In a culture that obsesses over the extraordinary, there's much to be gained through simply shifting your focus to celebrate the ordinary.

How can you make the ordinary come alive today?

Every single thing you do today is something your 90-year-old self will wish they could go back and do.

That simple walk. That feeling of satisfaction when you figure out a tricky problem. That smile from a friend. That laugh from your child. That workout you wanted to skip. That conversation with your parents.

That ordinary moment you're tempted to ignore.

All of it.

So, the next time you find yourself wanting to skip through to the other side—to the end, the goal, the finish line:

Stop. Pause. And breathe it in.

This is it. This is real. This is life.

Make the ordinary come alive and the extraordinary will take care of itself.

Underrated life lesson: You have to sacrifice short-term freedom in order to earn long-term freedom. Instant gratification will kill your dreams. Sacrifice is the cost of entry. Delayed gratification is the key to the life you want.

If a pupil is dysregulated, they don't need a bigger reaction,they need a steady presence. Their brain isn't ready for logic,redirection, or lessons. Our priority is helping them return to a state where they feel safe enough to process what they are experiencing. 🧠🌱

This is among the best instructional playbooks I’ve seen in a school.

And they’re going places.

The irony of ADHD: rejection sensitivity makes criticism unbearable, but shame makes praise almost harder to accept. Both hit the nervous system like ⚡️. XO, Dr. Jen

Two of the most important needs in educational settings for pupils are safety & connection.
SAFETY means a secure & well regulated nervous system. CONNECTION. Children have a profound need for connection.
When they feel safe & connected,their body shifts into well-being mode.🌱🧠

This is BRILLIANT 🤩 devoured it in a day 📖

Well done @DrJimHeal @P_A_Kirschner @C_Hendrick 👏🏼 and thank you for sharing you work 🙏🏼

These are my main takeaways - informed by my context (of course).

If you think you have Trauma, science says it didn't start with you.

Unhealed trauma doesn't just disappear—it gets passed down through DNA as self-sabotage, cycles of failure, and toxic relationships.

Here's what science says about generational trauma (and how to break the cycle):

Let’s stop glorifying burnt-out, and dysregulated nervous systems, and instead start promoting balance and rest without calling people lazy. XO, Dr. Jen

[Dr. Jen Wolkin | ADHD + Trauma Therapist @drjenwolkin]

We do NOT all have ADHD. If we did, ALL of us would hyper-focus for 8 hours and forget to eat or pee + then binge eat or just eat 3 olives + then stay up until 3am, bec we want our own time + then sleep too late, + then dread the shower, AND it would be called “just human.” XO, Dr. Jen

[Dr. Jen Wolkin | ADHD + Trauma Therapist @drjenwolkin]

The way women married to men end up as their ADHD husband’s prefrontal cortex, while also parenting ADHD kids, while realizing they’ve had ADHD all along, and that peri/menopause just made masking impossible, so now they’re hanging by a thread. I see it every day in my practice. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. XO, Dr. Jen

I used to think leadership meant having all the answers.
But the real win? Watching the team handle a tough delivery - calm, clear, and student-centered.
No panic. No shortcuts. Just ownership.
That’s what happens when you build culture, not control.
