Coaching isn't just for the athletic field. Coaching in our schools nurtures independence, self-efficacy, and growth for educators. But, it takes deliberate effort to create a culture of coaching. #FearlessCoaching #LeadingTheWholeTeacher

In teaching, sublime results--brilliant classroom discussion; thoughtful essays; enduring knowledge--often come about thanks to relatively mundane teacher skills. Like giving effective directions and narrating the follow-through.

"How do you want me to respond when...?"

Borrowing, building on this "better" from my wife.

Response Cards

Asking our kids how they want us to respond to behaviors, so we don't react.

Response situations are inevitable.

Reaction situations are avoidable.

A high school teacher found he could build a stronger classroom community in less than one minute each day—with a simple activity called Daily Dedications!

Dear Educators! As you go back to school, I'm giving away a City Spies boxed set. You can give them to kids! Put them in your school or classroom library! Or keep them for yourselves. Totally your call. Retweet to enter for a chance to win. (And make sure you follow me.)

Almost every best practice in education takes more time than traditional practices.

More time to plan, more time to differentiate, and more time to grade.

If we want educators to be able to do these practices effectively, we need to give educators more time to do them.

@_JBSpeaks It would be better if they needed to go back into the classroom each year.

Truth

[Dwayne Reed @TeachMrReed]

My mind is literally mush. Class in the morning and I have absolutely no idea what to teach. I mean, I know what I’m supposed to be teaching, but I don’t know what to teach. Make sense? Anyone else in this spot right now?

Teachers are working harder than ever. 💯

Give yourself permission to relax and do nothing on the weekend. You deserve it and it will improve your mental health.
