We’ve conflated expertise in learning with expertise in teaching. As the experts you tell us what’s going right! Those who can’t play, coach. We don’t have time. Deep learning vs surface learning. Evidence-based must be surface learning only. Every field gets to define their level of evidence. What matters as evidence to us? We do not research teaching, we research learning. Craft is craft, it’s not theory, it’s training. How to be a transformative principal? For one week, say nothing. Sponsors InControl SEL for Middle School In Control created an effortless social and emotional, character development video curriculum for your students that’s ZERO-TEACHER-PREP AND it’s so cool looking- it feels like a Youtube or Netflix Series- and that’s purposeful, they meet students right where they’re at. The videos are 5–6 minutes, kids love them, teachers love them, and you will too. There’s no guesswork in the program because there’s a 21-video progression for each grade level. They’ve thought of everything– because it’s a group of award winning counselors, teachers, and principals that came up with this thing. It’ll help you save tons of time and headaches. Take it from me, it’s time to check that social-emotional learning box, the empty one that’s been keeping you up at night–and it’s time to do it in a meaningful, measurable, magnetic way.
