“Don’t get caught look backwards. It will affect the next play.

Don’t get caught thinking about the future. That creates anxiety.

Be right there in the moment and do exactly what you need to do right now.”

―Nick Saban #TheLeadersMind 🏆

And there’s absolutely no shame in it. But, if you’re not getting the result you want, it’s time to change the system.

I believe that if we make an effort to develop peace of mind within ourselves and cultivate a proper appreciation of the oneness of humanity, we can create a happier, more peaceful world. What we need is common sense—the positive use of intelligence—and warm-heartedness.

If children only sharpen their brains at school, there’s no guarantee they won’t go on to make trouble. To balance their keen brains, they need a warm heart. The more compassionate they learn to be, the more useful members of society they’re likely to become.

Schools/Districts:
Trying to move learning through Tier 2 & 3 services is an overwhelming task.
Kind of like this.

Focus on Tier 1 instead, putting the life boat back in the ship where it belongs.

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

The OPENING MINUTES of a class are when learners are:
-Most excited
-Most curious
-Most ready to engage
-Most eager to make connections

Ask this: Does my opening take advantage of how learners are arriving to learn?
Or
Does my opening let all that potential just subside?

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

Got disengaged learners?
Got tired teachers?
Got gaps in achievement?
Got low growth?
Got discipline issues?
Got too many interventions?
Got frustrated staff?
Got any problems at your schools?

Then you GOT to change Tier 1 in the classroom.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.

Close your eyes & imagine that student who is defiant, has a bad attitude, refuses to work, is angry & disrespectful.

Can you see that student?

Now imagine if that student was your own kid.

Wouldn’t you want their teacher to build a relationship with them? @SteeleThoughts

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

Make Tier 1 the priority.
Make Tier 1 the priority.
Make Tier 1 the priority.

Tiers 2 & 3 are a direct reflection of how effective your Tier 1 is working.

Design Tier 1 so that it is all is should be for learners & teachers.

It's the only way things change.

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

Great principals are committed to these three things…
