ICYMI, here's a sketchnote that summarizes last week's conversation with Mitch Weathers and Sarah Oberle on the Teachers on Fire podcast. When we build executive functions in K-3, we're investing in a stronger tier one and more support for all learners.
How can we support the growth of our high-ability learners without burning ourselves out? Join me in conversation with Dr. Alicia Schroeder-Schock as we talk about how to meet the needs of our most advanced students. youtu.be/AP4h_IERPFo
ICYMI, here's a sketchnote that summarizes last week's conversation with Martin Stuible and Roy Hunt (from After the Bell) on the Teachers on Fire podcast.
These two have retired from the classroom, but their love of learning, teaching, and content creating is just getting started.
What ARE executive functions, and why do they matter in primary (K-3) classrooms?

With this blog post, I make the case that cognitive offloading, via GenAI, can have a place in our classrooms. And it doesn't have to be a threat to our students' Critical Thinking.

"Courage is contagious.
To scale daring leadership and build courage in teams and organizations, we have to cultivate a culture in which brave work, tough conversations, and whole hearts are the expectation, and armor is not necessary or rewarded."

If you need work email on your phone fine (I did for memory reasons) but you don’t need notifications on. You control when you look at it rather than let it be a shouty demanding toddler.
If you're still receiving notifications on your phone for every incoming email, you need to stop that insanity immediately.
