#ThrowbackThursday ! As we gear up for our 2025 December Study Summit, we’re looking back at last year’s gathering.
We can’t wait to welcome this year’s cohort next week at the IBM Center in Armonk!

We all want success in our classrooms - but progress often starts small. Collaborative teams that celebrate effective strategies will build momentum, confidence, and collective efficacy that lead to big impact in the classroom! #CollectiveEfficacy #PLCcenter #Collaboration

Collective teacher efficacy isn't just a buzzword—it’s one of the most powerful influences on student learning.
When school leaders intentionally build up these four sources of efficacy, they create lasting impact that exceeds demographics.
💡 Empowered educators. Stronger teams. Better outcomes.

Mind reading isn’t a leadership skill.
The best leaders don’t assume—they ask.
Be the leader they need, not the one you imagine.

2026 is going to be a special class for @GMUWrestling!! We just added another amazing young man who has decided to #BeUncommon
This is going to be an amazing event!
I’m excited to be part of an all-star lineup of high-energy presenters, coaches, and culture-builders! We’ll be diving into strategies and practices that put humans first, titles second, embrace vulnerable leadership, identify superpowers, and strengthen support systems—because no one should walk this journey alone.
This is THE conference to bring your admin teams, building leadership teams, and district leadership teams—growth is always stronger when we do it together! Don’t miss out—register with your team today!

This week Gabe Hackett and the CLT teams in Prince William County, VA shared instructional strategies and designed a vision for collaboration to develop collective efficacy across the district.

Empowering Leadership in PWCS:
I had the privilege of hosting mini-workshops for the leadership teams of the four schools I support in PWCS. The day was filled with laughter, positive energy, and celebrations as we focused on what truly matters: “Seeing people as humans before titles.”
When we lead with connection and authenticity, we create cultures where everyone thrives.

If you are a school leader and don’t have a mentor/coach/thought partner, you are missing out! So thankful for @JimWichman and his mentoring and friendship! @casas_jimmy
