Editor's Notes
- The first part is the science of teaching.The second part is the art of teaching
- Control: more autonomy, more controlPedagogy: teach less, learn moreChange: structured insurgencyInnovative behaviors do not result from micromanaged control.Structured insurgency is about balance of autonomy and control.So when you plan well and seed the idea of innovation in every department, you are going to get structured insurgency.Deliberate strategies of planting change and then cross-pollinating it through networks and interaction.
- Culture is about habits and beliefsCulture goes beneath the surface, takes considerable time to understand and is much more difficult to transposeCulture is about how to beStructure is about roles and responsibilitiesStructure is about paper and plansStructure is about what to do
- Principals/LeadershipIt is about trusting and also watching – new teacher evaluation system.It is about careful oversight as well as personal support.
- Control is achieved by knowing, watching, and being with your people as they make and follow their own choices, but not in isolationBuild the capacity to innovate and keep learning without abandoning the traditions that have been our foundationControl less – lead more
- Supportive Family CulturePartner with parentsNot tell them what we needLead them to what we need re: reading with children, checking homework, messaging consistent and educationalSupportive PartnershipsFamily resource centers make sure kids receive protected services and need to be the safety net.High Quality teachershiring for dispositions, training focused on dispositions.Professionals as IntellectualsIt takes every one in the schools.Need intellectuals who constantly inquire into their practice and push the boundaries.They understand and reflect on it.Disciplined Innovation and Continuous ImprovementCombine with disciplined innovation with continuous improvement without sacrificing one to the other.We will develop our next practice while excelling at today’s best practice.You must make teacher inquiry and learning permanent conditions that support improvement, not passing phases of professional practice.We must know where the goal of education is for the future and not be afraid to shoot for it.
- Inspiring DreamWhat moves you and shapes your vision?EducationNo gaps – no excuses – for ELL, Title 1Shared AuthoritySBDM needs to be fully functional – not you dictating to it.Public engagementProfessional responsibility for curriculum development and school to school assistanceInnovationMust develop our next practice as we excel at today’s best practice.We must be our own disruptive innovation.Continuous Improvement/TransitionsGetting to 24 – steps for your cluster – what our you doing to hit your benchmarks
- Professional CapitalHiring for and training for the right dispositionsStrong Professional AssociationsPrincipals and teachers advocating for positive changes that benefit our students rather than opposing reforms.Thank Tom and JoeCollective ResponsibilityWe must collectively work together for improvement of teachingTeach less to learn moreSupport learning in depth rather than superficial coverage – project based learning – service learningMindful Uses of technologyImproving teaching and learning
- Intelligent BenchmarkingGetting to 24 – successful organizations never rest on their laurelsAssessmentsGuide our practice to narrow the achievement gap and increase learning for allMajor changes this yearIncrease parent/community communicationCreate a community cultureLike Beechwood, Ft Thomas, Montgomery Co, NJWorking with paradoxRather than striving for sameness and standardization
- Teachers shape the minds of the futureExamples of educational excellence without accountability or common standards or digital technologyBut there are no instances of educational excellence without high-quality teachers and teaching.In Finland, Singapore & Canada teachers do not merely implement change – they generate it.
- It may allure us but the pursuit is worth the chase.The chase will exercise and stretch our children’s minds.
- Our community depends on youOur board depends on youI depend on youMost of all our children depend on you
