Becoming a better teacher isn't about knowing more content.

Becoming a better teacher is about designing ways for kids to become better learners.

Assessment does not mean test.

Assess means "to sit beside."

Assessment is about our job in knowing where kids are, in communicating where they need to go, & in providing actionable steps to get there.

It's the classroom more about teaching or more about learning?

It's our choice.

Reflecting this past week, I find myself thankful for all the fellow educators here seeking to share with & grow from each other.

No stronger community around & no greater mission.
We are better together.
Always.

My hour commute daily gives me the time to think about 2 things:

1. How will I intentionally impact kids' learning today?

2. How will I intentionally support the staff?

Nothing else on the agenda is more important.

Adults in schools,

The more we genuinely & consistently celebrate & praise ALL kids, the easier & more effective our corrective feedback will be when the time comes.

Leaders, this also works for staff.

Connect & praise before correcting & prescribing.

The biggest change in learning happens when the teacher in the room begins to change their thinking about the learning happening in the room.

Let's stop using the word, "mistake" whenever kids get things wrong.

Call them what they really are: Discoveries!

Imagine what could happen if we sought out & celebrated these "discoveries" during learning instead of harping on mistakes.

There's magic in mistakes!

A classroom of students. All working individually at their desks. A bright light is showing from the center student's desk above his work. An analogy for how mistakes are discoveries in learning.

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."
