Effective and impactful leadership involves so much more than management. True leadership tends to focus on people (and supporting their growth) while management addresses things. #leadershipMatters #leadership #leaders

It's striking how many people fail to understand that quantified evaluations, such as standardized tests and rubrics, are no more objective than narratives & other qualitative appraisals. They just use numbers to conceal the subjective judgments that underpin them.

Helping students to "complete their assignments" is NOT the job of the special ed teacher or the intended use of her/him... Using special ed teachers this way is like throwing a water bottle to a fire. It will do nothing to put the fire off. The grades will look good, and it…

COST ASSOCIATED WITH LEADERSHIP "Have to make hard decisions that'll negatively affect people you care about... Be disliked despite your best attempt to do the best for the most... Be misunderstood and not always have the opportunity to defend yourself." ~ Kirby Smart

1/3 Years ago I argued that the bogeyman of "grade inflation" rests on dubious evidence, faulty logic, and reactionary values: is.gd/lxL5hk. Here's new testimony from an #ungrading teacher that the problem isn't grade inflation; it's GRADES: tinyurl.com/ynacf9e5

Substitute teachers are a critical part of any school system, and we want to be sure to take a few moments to thank all of the subs that work to fill critical roles in our division each day. Thank you, and happy Substitute Educators Day! youtube.com/watch?v=KAXg_k…

Any coaches have an instructional playbook they've developed that they're willing to share? Looking specifically for examples of a list of high-impact teaching strategies. If instructional and technology coaches have collaborated on one, I'd love to see it! #edtech #edutwitter
