I learned so many things during Phase 2 of the coach. Consistency enables me to measure my impact and refine my practice. Eduro Learning Kim Cofino (she/her) @dianabeabout

Tier 1 instruction is for ALL learners. When finding more & more learners in need of services in Tiers 2 & 3, the FIRST thing to do is go back & look at Tier 1. Don't buy a program, add an intervention, or spend money. Do go & make sure Tier 1 is what it should be. That's it

I can't wait to share my full 'Building Thinking Classrooms' video with PASD stakeholders. Feeling thankful for my work with PASD teachers, administrators and Eduro Learning Kim Cofino (she/her) @dianabeabout Peter Liljedahl #coachbetter #Phase3

Inspired today by Kelly Esposito and PASD leadership, teachers and students for their teamwork implementing @thinkingclssrms - honored to see such high quality teaching and learning!! #WeGetToCCIU

Encouraging students to use mathematical practices is like giving them a set of tools for life. Let’s equip our students for success and a future of endless possibilities. PASD #studentwork #theywerentevendoneyet

Best way for admin to support 2 Ts on the same pedagocial journey? Ask them how they want their prep timetabled: 🧠 Same prep for planning purposes? 🧠 Offset preps so they can be IN each others' classrooms? No wrong answer. Costs nothing. - Peter Liljedahl #ThinkingClassroom

And all means all.

To move the student achievement and academic growth needles, planning for learning must be intentional.

How to change from TEACHING to LEARNING #42: Instead of handing back a paper with a grade at the top TRY Marking questions for learners to revisit, conduct an error analysis & revise their thinking. Give learners more than a number on a paper to reflect on for learning.

If I could go back & tell my 1999-self anything before I stepped into my first classroom, it would be this: "You're not here to teach. You're here to make learning happen. There's a big difference."

Want to get off this ride? I'd love to work with your schools in designing the best Tier 1 possible. Reach out! x.com/letsquitteachi…

Before we: Buy another program, Begin another intervention, Spend another dime, Add another resource, Include another implementation... STOP & MAKE TIER 1 THE PRIORITY If it's not what it should be, all the other stuff is ineffective for learning & overwhelming for staff.

Who shows up to our classroom is in our control. We can plan to teach, or We can design for learning. Those choices before the kids ever get here will lead to who walks in the door. If we want learners, we have to design & prepare for learners.
