Transformative Principal

Today, I am talking with Brad Gustafson @GustafsonBrad, principal of Greenwood Elementary School #GWGreats. I’ve been a follower of Brad’s blog for a long time. He is inspiring and helps me want to be a better principal. I hope you learn a ton from him, just like I have. In this episode we talk about: Mobile makerspaces Sphero balls - Draw and Drive Working on the Work (Buy the current book: Engaging Students: The Next Level of Working on the Work) Passport to Passion ClickToTweet: We are saying let’s celebrate creative genius! Three goals: high student achievement, cultural relationships, meaningful technology integration Constructive pushback Keeping it simple Part 2 Teachers are talented. Failure - Moodle forums research Monthly theme - optional vs. required. Transparency builds trust Teachers do great things no matter what, either openly and transparently or behind closed doors. *Invest in digital connections to deep your learning. Educational malpractice to limit learning based on what we refuse to learn.
