Simply put: When I plan to teach, I'm focused on what I will be saying, instructing, assigning, & assessing. But when I design for learning, I'm focused on what learners will be discussing, engaging with, creating evidence for, self-assessing. Learning isn't about me.

Classroom management is not about having the right rules… it’s about having the right relationships.

Make Tier 1 the priority Make Tier 1 the priority Make Tier 1 the priority Tiers 2 & 3 are a direct reflection of how effective your Tier 1 is. Design Tier 1 so that it's all it should be for learners & teachers. It's the only way things change to benefit everyone.

Becoming a better teacher isn't about knowing more content. Becoming a better teacher is about designing ways for kids to become better learners.

30 things no one tells you when you reach the age of 40: 1. No one prepares you for the fact you will go to more funerals & this will increase as you get older. The people you love will eventually pass, so we must cherish them now while we have them.

@nwh_JoePrepZone My guys!
