A student's education is a seamless, effortless journey. It is up to the teachers to drive the boat on the journey. The administrator's job is to break every barricade in the way. @BryanMcdonaldpd#ucmoedlead
Every perceptive of each one of these gems matters! They challenge my thinking, make me grow, and I miss them so! Virtual learning... you can go away now! I miss my people! @BryanMcdonaldpd#ucmoedlead
Teaching to the test is NOT bad. If the assessment is in alignment with the standards, you're not teaching to the test but to the standards. You're not playing the game wrong your looking at the end zone and picking up all the yardage along the way! @BryanMcdonaldpd#ucmolead
Use the data to drive instruction, collaboration, differentiation and educational growth. It is your friend not your enemy! @BryanMcdonaldpd#ucmoedlead
Perception is reality! Parents, teachers, and students matter... their perception is the reality of the school you lead! Understand the perception, hear the opinions, share the results, and make a change! @BryanMcdonaldpd#uncmoedlead
The student is a whole person... they are not just a number given by an assessment. Look at them, trust your teachers, and let learning grow. This should be common sense, but sadly it tends to not be common practice. @BryanMcdonaldpd#uncmoedlead
Assessment is not only the MAP test. Differentiate the assessment, look at the data, and make a well rounded, informed decision! @BryanMcdonaldpd#uncmoedlead
Demographic data should be shared early with EVERYONE! It drives instruction, planning, and overall beliefs. Share the knowledge! @BryanMcdonaldpd#ucmoedlead
