What difference can one teacher make?
The quality of teaching has the greatest impact on a child’s achievement – three times more than any other factor within a school’s control (RAND, 2019).
We help teachers develop their skills, so every child has a chance at a brighter future.

"I loved those essays"
"Those assignments were the best"
"The work in that class was exciting"
"The grades I earned were the greatest reward"
Nope.
"Mr/Ms _________ really cared about me & my learning."
That's what kids left thinking about this year
Or not
That's on us

Teacher credibility = 1.09 ES or 2 1/4 years' learning potential.
Credibility is not about your degree on the wall.
It's about the degree in which your learners trust that you have the best intentions for them & their learning.
It's about trust.

How to Be a Focused Leader When There’s a Lot of Noise. A new @edweek.bsky.social article @michaeldnelson.bsky.social and I wrote. #edusky #edulead #edleader www.edweek.org/leadership/o...
The biggest change in learning happens when the teacher in the room begins to change their thinking about the learning happening in the room.
#EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead
If I am pro DI, then do I HAVE to be anti-PBL?
If I am pro engagement, then do I HAVE to be anti-content rigorous?
If I am pro explicit instruction, do I HAVE to be anti-inquiry.
I don't think so.
All can serve a purpose for learning depending on our design.

Who does well in school?
Kids who "know lots."
They come this way from homes that "have lots."
So, what about those kids from homes with "less?"
Our job in school is to make learning happen with ALL learners. Those with lots & those with less.

Don't jump on a new initiative.
Don't add more interventions.
Don't hire more staff.
Don't buy a new curriculum.
Don't invest in the latest technology.
Don't bring new mandates.
Don't.
DO go look at Tier 1 learning & ask the hard questions.
That's where the answers are.

Leaders in schools,
Build trust
Instill belief
Solicit ideas
Celebrate risk
Accept missteps
Banish excuses
Cheer innovation
Support professionals
That's how we give power back to our teachers to design learning for all learners.
#EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead
What if...
We decided not to make any excuses that get in the way of our & our learners' success
AND
Not to be afraid to fail with any idea we try?
We'd change our classrooms, our school & our world.
The only thing stopping us?
Us.
#EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead

3 Mistakes New Leaders Should Avoid. A new article @michaeldnelson.bsky.social & I have in Education Week. #edusky #edleadership #edulead www.edweek.org/leadership/o...
Science says this:
We, as human beings, all learn in the same way.
The principles are the same.
HOW learning works.
However, knowing WHO is in the room is the first step in customizing the HOW for our learners to learn WHAT we need them to know.
WHO
HOW
WHAT
Design

From my latest post: Rigor Because of Relationships
"When learners encounter rigor in a relationship-rich environment, they don’t see it as insurmountable.
Instead, they see it as an opportunity to grow because they trust their teacher & know their teacher trusts them."
#EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead
Teachers,
Want more from your kids?
Leaders,
Want more from your staff?
Earn their trust.
Trust doesn't come with your position or title.
It comes from you investing in others, pouring value into them first.
Not just in words, in action.
Then, we can ask for a withdrawal.
#EduSky #EduCoach #EduLead
Hey Adults in Schools,
Kids will not care about "your work" until they know you care about their worth.
This shouldn't be a surprise or something to be offended by.
We're the adults, after all.
