How to stop oppositional kids in their tracks!

Overprotected kids become unprepared adults. Dawn Staley nailed it.🔥 You can’t shelter your child from every hard moment and then expect them to handle adversity when it counts. Hard is the lesson. Watch. Share. Bookmark.

Somewhere along the way, student accountability disappeared.

We talk a lot about student outcomes. Test scores. Data. Growth. But we ignore the one thing driving all of it. The teacher’s experience. If teachers feel supported, trusted, and valued, they are 6 times more engaged. Thats makes for a dynamic learning environment

When a district tells me their PLC is “going great,” I ask one question: as evidenced by what? Too often the answer is agendas, meetings, SMART goals, and conversations. That’s a participation trophy. Show me the data.

EduFables™ are changing educational PD. Why? Because people don’t remember slide decks or checklists. We remember stories. Stories are how the brain learns, how culture is built, and how real change sticks. This is PD that doesn’t talk at you… It speaks to you. You see yourself in the stories. A story can shift a mindset. A mindset can change a school. That’s the power of an EduFable™ lnkd.in/e2e26PHJ lnkd.in/eXwC3w9D

You don’t build culture with plays. You build it with people. • It takes trust. • It takes respect. • It takes caring about others. That’s what makes a real team👇 (📷@pickandpopnet)

Education has always seemed to be focused on fixing teachers. Teachers don’t need to be fixed but they do need to be supported, encouraged, & appreciated. Thank you to all the leaders who do!

Nice little resource to help students understand command words in exam questions.

This momma wasn’t playing! She definitely saved her sons butt my being present in his life and not enabling him! 🔥🔥🔥

I don't know if it's the most damaging and common of myths, but @rpondiscio has this right: Memorization still matters - a lot. We can't innovate, make connections, and think critically with what we don't have. Not having at least some things stored in the mind limits engagement and new learning.

GCSE Science teachers. These revision resources look nice. Please repost if useful 🙂 stockgrn.bham.sch.uk/revision-power…
