The most important leadership lessons are rarely about leadership.
They're about people.
How to build trust.
How to strengthen culture.
How to make people feel valued.
That's the heart of Coffee with the Custodian. https://t.co/cm0XXJIppQ
The first message teachers hear this fall matters.
It sets the tone for the year ahead.
Let's make sure it's one that reminds them of their strengths, celebrates their impact, and reinforces the value they bring to students every day.
I still have a few dates available this fall for back-to-school keynotes.

@dailystem@DrJamesLane I did too! That’s actually the precise thought I clipped and shared just now.
Thanks again for your engagement with the podcast, Chris. It means a lot!

"With UDL, teachers transition to the role of facilitator, removing barriers to learning by giving students options and choices to reach firm goals or rigorous state standards.
To universally design lessons, teachers must design instruction with the three UDL principles:
a) multiple means of engagement,
b) multiple means of representation, and
c) multiple means of action and expression."

In this episode, I’m joined by @S_Oberle and @organizedbinder, co-authors of Executive Functions for Every K–3 Classroom. Their work focuses on the cognitive processes that underlie successful learning.
Wow, episode 30 already!

Goodbye, Year 21. ✌️ A new school, classroom, and grade level made for a challenging school year, to say the least, but I’m ready for summer. Time to rest, relax, and recharge because next year I’ll be at a new school, classroom, and grade level…again. 😮💨🙃
Recognition doesn’t need to be complicated. It needs to be consistent.
Good cultures notice the work. Great cultures tell the person. The best cultures make sure everyone knows.
That's it. That's the whole thing. Go chase some great stories today.

ICYMI, here's a sketchnote that summarizes my recent conversation with @conniehamilton on the Teachers on Fire podcast.
Learn how to empower student thinking with better questioning!
“Up to a quarter of the school year is spent preparing for tests, taking practice tests, and taking ‘benchmark’ tests designed to predict performance at the end of the year.”
