When you read, inner speech is activated in your brain as if you are talking, even adjusting tone to match the text. More importantly, inner speech reflects emotions that change your brain chemistry, aiding comprehension. The Neuroscience of Reading on June 11, EDUCON 2026.

Inspiring keynote today by @casas_jimmy at @CKYEC’s Central KY EDUCON! Truly one of the best I’ve heard. Practical, down to earth, real talk about how we (the adults) shape the culture of the school to get the absolute best out of ourselves and our students! #CKYEDUCON2026

Great insight here. Staying power for high-performing schools is rare, but it is possible. Established expectations for “the way we do things around here”, a focus on implementing those expectations, & avoiding new fads are crucial. Excellent work by @rpondiscio.

If you had to predict whether a high-performing school would still be going strong ten years from now, what would you look for? I would *not* be persuaded by a charismatic principal or superstar teachers.

Always proud of my son, @Masoyoung25 & I love to hear him call games! He & @jack_little7 are doing the BCHS state semifinal game tonight. It’s been a long time since they’ve gotten to call a game together.  I hope you take a few minutes to tune in!

We all get angry. It isn’t a sin, but it can lead you to sin. Our response makes all the difference. I hope you’ll take a min to listen to Connor’s episode of “Riggin’ Up” on what the Bible says about dealing with anger.

Just finished reading David Young’s excellent book “Unlocking Academic Achievement.” I thought chapter 4, “Congruence” was especially compelling. Thanks David, and congratulations! More info @ davidyoungeducation.com.
