We’ll always have that Sam Kerr goal That victory over Olympic champions Canada That Cortnee Vine penalty Those Mackenzie Arnold saves The full stadiums The millions of Australians watching every Matildas match day The scenes at the live sites The MCG, SCG, Optus Stadium

Embrace the call to take positive risks

Acknowledge somebody’s efforts today…it might be the perfect tonic they need

Innovate and advocate

So many are happy to be told what and how….and sadly don’t care about why

See it before it happens

…and sadly quality teachers now walking away 😔

Great resource… youtube.com/watch?v=daTfpe…

Start small, sustain, stack…

1. advocacy and inquiry 2. don’t stress the solution 3. lead with courage

The ONLY instructional strategy with a NEGATIVE effect size: Lecturing. -0.26 or 1/2 a year's loss Why? It's passive. There's no room for engagement or interaction necessary for deep understanding & skill development. Just a lot of one person talking.

Effective teachers don't focus so much on rules, but more on relationships, routines, & expectations. If you focus mainly on rules, you will spend most of the year enforcing them. But if you focus on relationships, routines, & expectations, you rarely have to defer back to rules.

Instructional leadership is not about improving teachers; It is about creating the conditions where teachers can improve themselves. Danny Steele #essentialtruths Todd Whitaker
