Educators & Leaders: Who Are YOU… and Who Might You Become? This question isn’t just a title; it’s a CALL TO ACTION that could redefine your entire career!
In this explosive Week 301 of the AP & New Principals Academy (“Milken January” edition), @PrincipalKafele hosts powerhouses @WadeWhitehead and @nadertwal give raw, unfiltered dive into transformative educational leadership.
Mic-drop moments that hit HARD:
“The system that we have is designed to have the outcomes it has. That was on purpose. So if we want different outcomes, we got to go figure out what was under the ground that it keeps giving us the same fruit. You can prune the tree that’s going to produce more fruit, more of the same fruit. So if we don’t like the fruit, we got to interrogate the root.”
• “If I can change the attitude, the content will fall into place.” (Pro tip: Power Mondays = game-changer for student empowerment!)
• “The system is designed for the outcomes it has. Want different fruit? Interrogate the ROOT.” (No more well-oiled machines; we’re PEOPLE, not cogs!)
• “There’s no ‘JUST’ in education. You’re a world-changer, period.” (Aides, teachers, principals; YOU matter. No qualifiers.)

This week, we will revisit Independent, Deliberate Practice: the why and the how.
@matthewsyed has inspired us to remember that "the struggle" is necessary if we want to develop resilience and robustness because we want students to flourish.
#TransformativeTeaching#CPD
When we build in thinking time, prior to questioning, and cold call - with precision - we facilitate all students thinking hard, and foster a culture of thinking hard by expecting all students to contribute by answering questions.
#TransformativeTeaching
When instructions are clear and precise, and echoed before students begin, we facilitate students being productive and independent and learning is maximised.

Tonight's #CPD session revisited
our approach to asking questions, whilst considering how vital "clear and precise instructions" are.
Staff have continually embraced the message we started with in September: "Things done well can always be done better".

Here is snap shot from the feedback that teachers have received following lesson drop ins this week.
We first structure all feedback around our T&L Standard, which focuses on "great" pedagogy, meaning that teachers have clarity.
