The Sweet Spot

Weeks after this school year ends, teachers will slowly lose track of time. In school, the calendar and clock rules their schedules so unwinding from living in overdrive is arduous. Teachers have to be able to purge the mental and emotional demands of the previous school year in order to readily engage in future school years. When the pressures fade, we know that the sweet spot of the summer has arrived.

During the sweet spot of summer, teachers can regain their own purpose without expectations from others. Teachers are able to discover what they need rather than responding to the requirements of others. Teachers can rediscover the fulfillment of learning what they would like to explore and strengthen. Teachers love to create and curate with other teachers. This is when teachers are able to see themselves as experts of their craft.

A tool that will spark possibilities and provide teachers autonomy for their own learning is 2gno.me. It is a cloud-based platform that will maximize the potential for receiving relevant and exemplar resources. The Framework in Action is a free portal for individuals to interact with on demand. It will connect teachers with resources that are organized for their strengths and opportunities for growth. 2gno.me will build expertise through a constructivist approach in accelerating teacher efficacy and that is the sweet spot for advancing student learning.

How to Navigate August

  When teachers flip the calendar from July to August, a feeling of trepidation overcomes them. There is a considerable difference between July and August in a teacher's life. July is fairly easy-going and August is extremely demanding. The amount of tasks teachers must complete in August is expansive and daunting. A teacher's list includes responsibilities that might range from learning the important concepts and principles of a new curriculum to considering how various discipline methods can be applied to student behavior, and organizing their classrooms to memorizing dozen(s) of students' names, interests and aptitudes.  No amount of time can lighten the morass of responsibilities teachers face in August. So, how might teachers take command of this list and approach it with a sense of control? As Charlotte Danielson wrote in 1996, "given the complexity of teaching a map of the territory is invaluable." The Framework for Teaching is a roadmap that teachers can u

The Aftermath

The perfect storm hit the teaching field in March 2020. For awhile, it appeared the field was going to survive and thrive through the turmoil. Teachers were being hailed as heroes as they persevered through the changing environments determined to keep students connected to learning. When the 2020-21 school year started, school districts faced a paradigm shift. As the months passed, it was evident teacher knowledge was not going to be systematically included in the structures being built. The collective wisdom of teachers were ignored and teacher voices were disregarded. This was a colossal mistake and a missed opportunity. Although I was sitting on the sidelines newly retired (1983-2019), I had high hopes that teacher expertise was finally going to be able to seize the field. Teachers are the primary sources of knowing how to engage students in this current reality. I anticipated the value of teachers to soar and for teachers to be relied upon to design solutions for learning. Instead,

Lien On Me: Through the Eyes of Teachers

Did you know teachers do not believe teaching matters? This has bothered me ever since I read the Learning Forward article, “ Flip the Script on Change” by Thomas Guskey   in April 2020. Guskey cited research by Evans, Teasdale, Gannon-Slater, La Londe, Crenshaw, Greene, & Schwandt, 2019 that investigated teachers’ perceptions of student achievement data. This study found teachers associated students’ performance to instruction merely 15% of the time. More often, teachers believed that student achievement was a result of student characteristics, like behavior and backgrounds, although decades of compelling studies have indicated teachers have two to three times the impact of any other school factor. What worries me is that if teachers have little confidence in instruction, then we have not been focusing on what makes a difference for student learning. Curriculums and assessments are meaningless without instruction and ineffective without teachers believing instruction influences st
