Concrete Strategies, Real Results: No fluff, just proven strategies you can implement today. Before were words that we had to infer, now we have pictures showing how to make an impact of implementing a strategy. https://t.co/9MT2JWKT5d. @mmcdowell13 @MimiToddPress #lead4rigor

Instructional leadership is not about improving teachers; It is about creating the conditions where teachers can improve themselves. @SteeleThoughts #essentialtruths @ToddWhitaker

Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.

[Jason Kennedy | Stop Teaching & Design Learning! @letsquitteachin]

The ONLY instructional strategy with a NEGATIVE effect size: Lecturing. -0.26 or 1/2 a year's loss

Why? It's passive.

There's no room for engagement or interaction necessary for deep understanding & skill development.

Just a lot of one person talking.

@lakens A few years ago, I wrote a guide for teachers on "Researching your own practice." The key idea was searching for plausible rival interpretations of your data by asking, "Ah, but what if...?"
