If you are a current or aspiring head coach, you should be working to improve. Here is an Evaluation tool. This can be done by AD or self-eval. Maybe it can help someone out today.

@SuaKCravens Musical gang bangers is comical 😂😂

I will never forget how many people can be influenced to follow or do and say things they themselves don’t even believe in… I’m old enough to remember yal acting like musical gang bangers and swearing yal didn’t know Drake songs word for word just a year or two ago !! Now yal back on the wagon huh? 🫣😂

@DontonioKeshon If we have football players playing those sports.

@DontonioKeshon Athletes are better when they cal play multiple sports. Want to really learn how to jump and land? Play basketball. Want to really learn how to sprint? Do track! But besides the benefits athletes get from doing multiple sports, it's easier to recruit athletes of other sports

Why does football fantasize the multi sport participation for their entire childhood? I don’t know any other sport that encourage they go play other sports to get better at their sport. Again I am PRO multi sport. I just find this topic interesting.

@CoachHunsinger As on offensive coach, I love it, because it makes it that much harder for us on QBs in the spring. But once we get to fall everything gets much easier.

Another Prime example of why 7s is dog-water. Tell me whose LBs are lining up like this in an actual game? TELL ME WHO Instead, coaches, like the ones who coach the team pictured, don’t care whatsoever about developing players, but rather on just winning a rep when all it does is develop bad habits, full stop. Pre-season 7s is meant to find where you excel, find where you need to improve and correct those errors. It’s practically a PRACTICE. Development off-season translates to winning in-Season.

@sharemath That is a very good point

Those are excellent examples, of course. The problem is that most textbooks have far too few of them, usually two or three per lesson followed by dozens of practice problems, often straying away from the content in the examples. Students who get stuck on the unrelated practice problems tend to stay stuck. (And the practice problems seldom come with fully-worked feedback for detailed analysis.)

New school year. First day of school. I hand each of my new 7th graders a math activity featuring 6 pre-worked examples and 6 related practice problems, with 6 fully-worked solutions on the back. And start going over the examples at the board. Students (about three examples later, and practically in unison): "Can we just do these ourselves?" Me (taken by surprise but figuring we could give it a shot): “If you can…” They could. And they did. I discovered the untapped potential of worked examples that day—and every schoolday afterward. And I never went back to explaining at the board again. Sound far-fetched? Are you a math teacher? Try this: Create 6 fully-worked examples—none too hard, none too easy—and place them at the top of a page, with all steps shown. Create 6 related practice problems and place them at the bottom of the page, surrounded by plenty of workspace, and strategically scrambled to prevent mere mimicry. Create a fully-worked solution for each of the 6 practice problems, and place them on the back of the page, for instant feedback. Distribute a copy to each student, and then enjoy answering genuinely interesting math questions and working with individual students in your new role as the “sage at the side.” Or, if that all seems like too much, check out YouTeachYou, the first k-8 math method with an example for everything. With 10 books, over 560 activities, and over 10,000 fully-worked examples, it’s got you, your curriculum, and your students completely covered. See YouTeachYou.org for examples.

@sharemath Just opened the math textbook on my desk. Is this not an example?

@coachbrivers Textbooks don't have 1:1 visual examples for every concept.

@Eliana_Goldin @sharemath Go into any math classroom where kids are using AI. They are cheating on their assignments and not learning. They are just using AI to do the work for them

@sharemath This is basically what our AI does, and it responds to kids in real time who do have questions. The future of teaching is AI

@chriscfore Make your pitch. What would you do/change if you were in charge?

@FixingEducation What about when a teacher does have racial bias, and just says the students claims are false? Now more black and brown children will get in trouble, because some people refuse to believe that racism exist. You can't punish false claims.

During a great class discussion, a student who wasn’t participating and kept interrupting, accused the teacher of being racist after being asked to stop. The accusation had no basis. Should there be consequences for false claims like this?

@SuaKCravens The biggest payday of his life will be his second NFL contract. Staying in school puts that at risk.

Schools offering Top10 pick annual salaries for a single CFB season??? Why would you ever leave college then? Honestly, if I’m a talent like Jeremiah and I have schools willing to pay me a total of 30-45 million over 4 years of work, why tf would I declare early?! I can wait until senior year, have 20 million liquid in the bank before I have to live up to expectations or risk injury at the pro level. That’s the only thing that makes me doubt Jeremiah got a one year offer over 10 million. That’s a very steep price for six months of college ball that may not end in a guaranteed return of a chip. Idk bro

As @JayBilas correctly points out, there’s a lot of hypocrisy in college athletics right now. It’s only when athletes begin to get paid that it’s necessary to have a federal law to “save college sports.”

People will see this and act like Racism still isn't a problem in America, now more than ever.

@CoachTParr As a coach, if you aren't helping multi-sport athletes get better by providing them opportunities to get into open gyms, then you are preventing potential athletes from getting better, and trying to create a culture where kids only play basketball.

@CoachTParr When I coached at Combs highschool, a majority of our kids played multiple sports. Schedule looked like this during the summer: 8:30-11:00 am football 11:15-1:30 basketball 5:30-7:30 pm (1 a week) 7 on 7s. I'm sure some kids had baseball and other activities as well.
