@WWJ950 YES! Middle School students also need recess. It is necessary for the wellness of all kids through the formidable growth years both physically and socially through the 8th grade.

Do kids really need recess? A bipartisan bill would require at least 40 minutes a day for Michigan elementary school students. WWJ's Ryan Wrecker spoke with State Rep. Matt Koleszar of Plymouth.

A student this week asked me the question, “What’s public persona?” I answered, “How you treat others is your public persona.”

Chills, Goosebumps — this moment encapsulates the “Draft.” An individual who’s devoted to serving our country and its values earning an opportunity to play in the NFL in his hometown. Congratulations to Eli. Our school visits DC each year on our 8th grade trip, we start in Annapolis @NavalAcademy with our touring — if you haven’t visited one our nation’s military academies you must do so.

The single greatest attribute to K-12 learning, is, always has been, and forever will be a relationship building centered teacher leading instruction with paper, pencil using a plan promoting micro-lessons, allowing for collaboration, and constantly checking for understanding. Chromebooks, computers, and phones do not level up learning! @karenvaites

Random: 1) if you want to succeed like Dusty May, read like Dusty May. Among many other traits he’s a voracious reader & the less the broader public reads, the more there’s competitive advantage to those who do. 2) but know the cognitive science. Most things you understand you will forget unless you take steps to remember. That includes reading. Once I understood that I started keeping a reading journal (pictured). I force myself to transcribe key quotes and reflections from what I read so I can remember and review. Is it a pain in the neck sometimes? Yes. Like working out is a pain sometimes. But the result is strength. I remember and am closer to mastery of what I read whereas I used to simply lose most of it.

@Doug_Lemov Overjoyed to witness “Teach Like a Champion” gaining so much recent notoriety — it’s a game changer read for all — a gift I received from @Doug_Lemov many years ago — as did @umichbball #〽️GoBlue Teaching is Coaching, Coaching is Teaching.

FYI to new readers, esp those coming thru on the heels of some recent articles. If you read Teach Like a Champion, please be sure to read the 3.0 version even if you're a new to the books. Each new version is intended to replace the older versions, which might not be clear at first. That said if you're a coach you'll probably want to start with The Coach's Guide to Teaching. Cheers!

@Matt_Reynoldson Michigan’s Dusty May is ALWAYS coaching! Relentless Preparation, attention to detail, and teaching is what separates VICTORS from Cornhuskers. You learned something from @UMich Matt; be grateful not judgmental.

@FixingEducation Don’t disagree with holding students and parents partially accountable for educational outcomes; but the dental patient isn’t at the dentist’s office for 7 hours a day, 5 days a week. Could we blame the dentist more if this were true?

When you don’t brush, floss, or go to the dentist, you don’t get to blame the dentist for bad teeth. When a student is consistently absent and barely does any of the work, don’t blame the school or teacher(s) when that student fails.

NEW: a school in northern MI might just be a test case for the anti-screen movement. Educators banned Chromebooks in the middle of the school year. We spent a day: chalkbeat.org/2026/03/25/scr…

Top Notch Post. Terribly True. Administrators must remember their “Roots” and be able to place themselves back into the boots they wore to stride into the role of being a building or district leader. After 33 years in the role I can write with certainty that it’s easy said than done.

Great principals do a thousand things in a given week. They solve problems, support teachers, calm worried parents, guide students, analyze data, and keep a school moving forward. It’s complex work. But when you step back and look closely, the most effective principals tend to get a few foundational things consistently right. Here are ten of the habits that set great principals apart: 1. They recognize the value of every adult in the building. From teachers to custodians to office staff, great principals know that schools succeed because of people. They notice the work others do, and they make a point to say thank you often. 2. They support their teachers—especially when it matters most. Whether the challenge is a difficult student, a frustrated parent, or a tense situation with a colleague, great principals stand beside their teachers. They trust them. They believe in them. And their staff knows they have someone in their corner. 3. They lead from the halls, not just the office. Great principals understand that leadership happens where learning happens. You’ll find them in classrooms, hallways, the lunchroom, the bus line, and at carpool—engaging with students and connecting with staff. 4. They involve others in decisions. Great principals know they don’t have all the answers—and they don’t try to. They seek input, invite perspectives, and empower others to help shape the direction of the school. 5. They stay focused on learning. Student achievement is always on their radar. They spend time in classrooms, encourage strategic instruction, and ensure assessments are meaningful. Most importantly, they help teachers use data to better meet the needs of their students. 6. They cultivate collaboration. Great principals know that teaching can’t be a solo sport. They intentionally create structures and expectations that help teachers learn from one another and grow together. 7. They refuse to settle for the status quo. The best principals hold high expectations—for themselves and for everyone in the building. They articulate a compelling vision and challenge their school community to keep getting better. 8. They protect staff morale. Great principals know that culture matters. They work to create an environment where teachers feel respected, supported, and proud to work. 9. They bring positive energy every day. Schools are emotional places, and leadership energy is contagious. Great principals understand that positivity isn’t optional—it’s essential. 10. They always keep students at the center. Every decision, every conversation, every initiative ultimately comes back to one question: What’s best for kids? Great principals build relationships with students and make sure their well-being and success drive the work of the school. None of these practices require perfection. But when principals commit to these habits day after day, they create schools where teachers feel supported, students feel valued, and learning thrives. Cheers, Danny
