As we navigate the shifting currents of the educational landscape, it's clear that transformative change is not just necessary—it's inevitable. To foster an environment where every student thrives, we must reimagine our approach to education from the ground up. This calls for a system that is not just a patchwork of quick fixes but a comprehensive blueprint for enduring change.

I’ve been an instructional coach for nearly four years now; while I certainly don’t think I’ve got it cracked yet and would not consider myself an expert, I think I’ve learned a huge amount since starting and want to share some of those reflection here. I’ve written previously about this here and here where I’ve talked about some of the mechanics of coaching.

At this point in the school year, you have had time to establish classroom routines, nurture your relationships with students, and design and facilitate entire units of study. It’s the perfect time to ask your students for feedback. Employing a simple feedback strategy like “keep, start, stop” helps you quickly take the temperature of the class and make any necessary adjustments to ensure the rest of the year is as productive and positive as possible.

In the ever-evolving landscape of education, the role of leadership is pivotal. The notion of educational leadership extends beyond administrative responsibilities; it embodies the vision, direction, and ethos of a learner-centric environment. Building capacity is not just an individual pursuit but a collective journey towards excellence. It is vital because it directly impacts the quality and effectiveness of teaching and learning environments.

A challenge that sometimes presents itself when giving feedback to students is that their work is already of a pretty high standard, and it feels like we’re really nitpicking with our improvement points. The reality is that what they’ve produced is probably already near the top of the mark bands, and one or two small tweaks might not necessarily make much difference.

When teachers think their students aren’t paying attention in class, they’re probably right. And that’s true even when instructors force students to put away their smartphones. That’s what Georgetown University professor Jeanine Turner found in her research about how tech has shaped social relationships. Her argument is that our internet-connected devices have changed the way people relate to others, even when devices are temporarily removed.

Educators have long debated the best way to teach, especially the subjects of science and math. One side favors direct instruction, where teachers tell students what they need to know or students read it from textbooks. Some call it explicit or traditional instruction. The other side favors inquiry, where students conduct experiments and figure out the answers themselves like a scientist would.

Sociology is such a fun class to teach in high school. Since students love to be social, they love learning the reason behind interactions. No matter the topic, they are often eager to share and talk about their experiences. So, it is essential to have exciting lessons and activities to support this eagerness to learn. Similarly, it is important to have a strong Sociology review to ensure all students understand the content.

One morning, my students were getting ready for a math test and working through a set of review problems. For many of them, the biggest challenges weren’t the questions on the paper in front of them, but their ability to attend to it. As I checked in with one student who appeared to be working quietly, it turned out he had carefully solved the first problem, only to write guesses down for the rest.

The pandemic not only disrupted education temporarily; it also triggered permanent changes. One that is quietly taking place at colleges and universities is a major, expedited shift to online learning. Even after campuses reopened and the health threat diminished, colleges and universities continued to offer more online courses and added more online degrees and programs.

It is crucial to have a positive parent-teacher relationship with our students and staff when becoming a teacher. They are not the only ones we have these relationships with. When I stepped foot into the classroom for the first time, I quickly realized how important it was to keep a positive teacher parent relationship with the parents and guardians of the students.

While World War II may have ended long ago, it left a resounding impact on the world. The war from 1939 to 1945 involved most countries, civilian and military resources, and world capabilities. Sadly, this also resulted in millions of fatalities. Due to how impactful this time was, students must learn about it. Thankfully, there are amazing World War II lessons to ensure students understand key aspects of the war, including the causes and turning points.
