Everyone wants transformation until it asks them to change. Growth requires uncomfortable conversations, new habits, and the courage to leave what's familiar behind. Comfort maintains the status quo. Transformation demands something more.

‼️Every coach and leader should listen to this.
📢The success Indiana has achieved has not been an accident.
💪This is a 45 second synopsis of how you become elite.

If you want different results for kids, start by changing the words you use to describe them. Change the label… and you’ll change your thinking.

“Most people live, whether physically, intellectually or morally, in a very restricted circle of their potential being. They make use of a very small portion of their possible consciousness, and of their soul’s resources in general, much like a man who, out of his whole bodily organism, should get into a habit of using and moving only his little finger. Great emergencies and crises show us how much greater our vital resources are than we had supposed.”
— William James

When Tier 1 is the engine driving everything:
Achievement increases
Misbehaviors decline
Learning happen
Stop throwing money, programs, interventions & the kitchen sink at Tiers 2 & 3.
Tier 1 is where our work is & the problems get solved.
It requires intentional design

Under 20 years of Republican control, this is Indiana. The continuing story of underfunding traditional public schs…
With the current proposed GOP state budget, 25K
voucher students (families in top 3% of household income earners) will receive $330M add’l $. Comparatively, 960K students in traditional public schs will receive only $190M.

🔢 A calculator can crunch numbers, but it can’t measure learning. The most meaningful grades come from professional judgment—not arithmetic. #LeadInclusion #GradingForGrowth #EduSky #UDL #EdChat
ALT A white calculator, green notebook, gold pen, and small potted plant sit on a white surface. Large beige text reads, "Calculators don't make grades more objective." The "lead inclusion." logo is in the top right corner.

“If you can’t fly, run; if you can’t run, walk; if you can’t walk, crawl; but by all means keep moving.” – Martin Luther King Jr.
Inspired by his words, we push the boundaries of exploration, moving forward for the benefit of humanity.

The Stone of Hope, a granite statue of King, is seen from the side; King's head and upper body, as seen in profile, appear to emerge from the rock. The sky behind the statue is completely clear; a barren tree and the Washington Monument, both out of focus, stand out in the background. Credit: NASA/Bill Ingalls

To unlock high-level learning, we must first see the potential for it.

Who shows up to our classroom is in our control.
We can plan to teach, or
We can design for learning.
Those choices before the kids ever get here will lead to who walks in the door.
If we want learners, we have to design & prepare for learners.
Tim Pirowski retweeted
What's worse for learning?
Being absent from school? OR Being bored at school?
Both have an effect size of -0.46 or a over a year's worth of lost learning potential.
This means we need to place just as much urgency on getting learners engaged as we do getting them to school.

New Stanford research shows that hybrid is the new sweet spot of work.
Employees working at home 2 days a week were:
- Just as productive as in-the-office-all-week peers,
- Just as likely to get promoted,
- Far less likely to quit.

If you want to improve your classroom or school’s culture, ask yourself this question. #Recalibrate
