From "I'm not sure what this stuff means, but I got an A" to "I know what this means AND what the A means" #itecia

For teacher leadership to be successful it must be 1. clearly defined, 2. supported, and 3. linked to key priorities #iatlc

Why do we assume that some people are adversaries or obstacles instead of potential allies? #IATLC

Handout from Instructional Coaching Essentials by Heather Clifton http://t.co/s1c94l5Oek #IATLC

[Allison Gates @AllisonLGates]

Instructional coaches take a person from where s/he is to where s/he wants to go. We don't just hand out advice. #IATLC

[Kathy Perret @KathyPerret]

Love the working agreements. #IATLC

When did we become so cynical to think that the only behaviors we can't change are the bad ones? #iatlc

[Allison Gates @AllisonLGates]

When you try to motivate people who don't have the ability, you just create depression. #iatlc

[Allison Gates @AllisonLGates]

When these four conditions come together, people get better fast. #iatlc

[Allison Gates @AllisonLGates]

Influencers address ability problems first and motivation problems second. Don't assume people don't want to do the right thing. #iatlc

[Allison Gates @AllisonLGates]

Don't begin addressing misbehavior with consequences, you have a small window to first frame the experience and morally awaken them #iatlc

[Allison Gates @AllisonLGates]

Help the person you want to influence feel morally awake and connected to the human experience #iatlc
