🏆🏀Congratulations to the Oakland Wildcats - 2023 CIF State Division III Boys Basketball Champions!

Anybody going to the CAAASA Conference? I'm looking to link up and chat.

Sitting at the 2023 CAAASA Conference listening to Dr. George McKenna, LAUSD Board Member. He is on a panel, "The Elimination of Racial Discrimination in Schools." He said, "We have met the enemy and the enemy is us."

So far we have registered folks from Seattle, Berkeley, Salt Lake and maybe London. 🤓

High expectations for students is not special nor visionary. It is a non negotiable baseline. It is a basic honoring of the potential in every child we seek to educate.

Stop calling it classroom management system. Plan for engagement, inspiration, scaffolds, challenge, joy, learning, and empowerment. Then there won’t be much to manage. They’re children. Not workers. They’re kids. They’re already brilliant. 💡

The manager Anthony Essien is one of Harbor City's finest. Let's Go Sock Puppets!!! #TenniesBoy #HarborCityG #Gauchos4Life

They attacked him because of expectations in HS; then they attacked him because he didn't struggle; then they attacked him for his dominance; then they attacked him because people saw that he was THEE KING; then they attacked him for his success off court; then they attacked...

DAMN!!!

High expectations held with care build learning power in students. In #education, warm demand is love in action. #Teachers, download my Warm Demander Self-Assessment Tool to gauge your warm demand in the classroom: bit.ly/3Om3rTr

Looking forward to dialogue w/ educators at the Oregon Collective Summit on March 14. We'll explore an understanding of systems, the concept of “leading from the inside-out,” & discuss possibilities in undesirable conditions. Join the dialogue. Let’s get into some Good Trouble!
