💪Build trust to pave the way for authentic change!
In our latest episode, Craig Randall challenges the traditional observation model. Why? Because when we rate pedagogy, research shows it immediately diminishes trust and causes teachers to "play it safe."
Here's how you can lean in to Trust-Based Observations:
🧠The Power of Curiosity: Move from "fixing" to "wondering" by using a narrow lens of 10 or fewer indicators to focus your observations.
🧠Filling the Trust Jar: Craig recommends waiting until the fourth observation before offering suggestions—using those first visits to build a "jar" of specific, strengths-based praise.
🧠Ask Permission: A simple semantic shift—asking "Would you like a suggestion on...?"—gives teachers the agency to engage when they are ready.
🧠The Next-Day Debrief: Give teachers processing time by holding reflective conversations the day after an observation.

🍎Happy Teacher Appreciation Week!
In honor of teachers everywhere, we asked some of our coaches what they love about teachers! We all know teachers do so much, and one week of appreciation is not nearly enough, but let's make sure our teachers know how much they are loved! 🩵
What do you love about teachers? Comment below!

How many times have you walked into a classroom and immediately started a mental list of everything that needs to be "fixed"?
📋 We’ve all been there! But according to Craig Randall, author of Trust Based Observations, that's the fastest way to shut down teacher growth.
In our latest episode, Craig breaks down how to move from a "Gotcha" mindset to a Curiosity mindset. The secret sauce? Narrowing your lens. 🎯
When we lead with curiosity and specific praise, we put "marbles in the trust jar"—building the foundation needed for real change to happen later. 💎

🎤🐛 LIVE from the ECN, it's the May rountables!!! 👏🎬

🗓️ MAY 11th ⭐ All Access Event ⭐
Before the chaos of graduation and the final bell takes over, we’re hitting the pause button to honor the work you’ve done. This isn't just about checking a box; it’s about a collective "deep breath" with peers who understand the unique weight of the coaching role. We’re coming together to visually map out our impact and celebrate the big (and tiny) victories that defined this school year.

🗓️ MAY 18th ⭐ All Access Event ⭐
How often do you walk into your office in August and wish your "May Self" had left things a little more organized? In this hands-on session, we’re moving away from the frantic end-of-year scramble and moving toward intentional closure. We’ll spend our time together building a customized plan to wrap up your current coaching cycles, organize your most valuable resources, and set the stage for a seamless transition into next year.
