When students give the teacher math challenges. I genuinely appreciate the personal note, rules, and disclaimer. 😉

Ss Teaching Ss. 🙌🏼 When the real-world story problems become REAL to students. I stepped away and they stepped up.

If we want to talk about "student success", students have to lead the conversation and have the ability to define what success means to them. This is not only beneficial for our work today but for how students create their own opportunities in the future. #InnovatorsMindset

This book was given to me as a gift after I shared a few insecurities about moving forward in my career. I feel like I just finished the best cup of coffee after the most fulfilling conversation with @GilbertLiz ♥️

Love this. Other thoughts that align: - the smartest person in the room is the room - leadership is about impact. How do you positively impact others around you? - it’s about belief. Investing in people and getting them to believe they will be far better than they ever imagined
My idea of leadership isn’t power, prestige, or position. It’s putting the needs of others first, pursuing a higher purpose, and working together to be great. Leadership is not easy, but it’s worthwhile because it makes us collectively stronger.

“Other PD programs such as generalized workshops... do not have similar effects on students. Teacher coaching is a rare model of PD shown to improve T practice to the degree required to impact student-achievement outcomes.” Coaching is THE intervention. educationnext.org/taking-tea…

What Do You Do With A Chance? During read aloud, our superintendent shared a chance he took in our district. It was vulnerable, real, and heartwarming. Then he giggled and modeled a “golf clap” —to which my students used it all day long! #ThankYou #Leadership

Reading #PatternsofPower & I’m realizing their philosophy applies to more than grammar & conventions. Our daily learning & intuition is based on noticing patterns, so what patterns am I modeling for my people?💭

On my mind tonight...What if we valued vulnerability in our schools as much as we seem to value proficiency & being the expert?? How might you have grown as an instructional leader today? How might you have helped others grow? #LeadLearner #MichME #MichEd

“Sometimes, taking the stance of lead learner is less involved, though no less powerful.” These pieces, for me, are speaking to the need for vulnerability. Don’t believe it is the expectation to have all of the answers, it might be more valuable to show colleagues you don’t!

This is so unbelievably powerful! Never underestimate the significance of modeling, teaching, & learning with colleagues. It drives and cultivates genuine energy! x.com/smithand1015/status/98…

“What gets studied gets energy & gets paid attention to.” - @AdaptiveSchools What might we be studying in our schools? Where might we be paying most attention? How might that align with our values, beliefs and identity? #MichME #MichMLT
