Engagement is not entertainment. That's the confusion for most. Engagement is the urge participate in thinking and learning. Learners in class can't achieve in what they never engage with.

A new meta-analysis on the impact of goal setting on performance found: 1. Process goals had a large effect on performance 2. Performance goals had a moderate effect 3. Outcome goals had a negligible effect

Tier 1 is IT. When it is where it needs to be, Achievement increases Misbehaviors decline Learning happens Stop throwing money, programs, interventions & the kitchen sink at Tiers 2 & 3. Tier 1 is where our work is & the problems get solved, And it requires intentional design.

No man has ever been wronger for longer than Paul Krugman

Rigor WITH Relationships We can raise the rigor w/ learners because they feel: Safe Known Belonging Trust When they are in the classroom. Couple that with our belief in them & their abilities to learn at high levels & there's no stopping them.

Our teachers kicked off the 2024-2025 school year with a bang – and some snowballs! As we dive into the new school year, we're fully committed to our mission, vision, and collective commitments at FHS. @KeithGDerrick @CindaFrancis7 @Docmoreland89 @mr_randylgarcia

The umpires made the decision. It doesn't matter what I think.

Cool game against a fun group. Lots of opportunities for the Loggers today.

Trying to Improve learning primarily thru Tiers 2 & 3 is like taking a family road trip by pushing the car down the road instead of using the engine. It's gonna be a lot of work & sweat & won't get you where you need to go. Crank that Tier 1 engine up & get things moving.

Interesting opinion piece ... Stop Making Teachers Submit Lesson Plans! This archaic practice wastes time, erodes trust, and detracts from what really matters. ascd.org/el/articles/stop-ma… via @ASCD
