A Principal's Reflections
JULY 24, 2016
Make no mistake about it; the job of any type of educator is tough these days. It is a rewarding profession in that we have the opportunity to make a positive difference each day, but for all our efforts, thanks and appreciation are tough to come by at times. The fact that many countries don’t value the honorable work that is done in classrooms and schools is a tough pill to swallow.

Tomorrow is too late for some kids. It never happened yesterday for them and maybe they gave up hope. Some kids need us today, right now, this second! Today is our chance to connect, to make an impact, to start building a relationship that may turn them around on a course of success or feeling like they belong. Some kids in our schools feel really alone, like nobody cares about them, believes in them, notices them or maybe even knows their name.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

Making a great bio on Twitter is easy and if you're on Twitter you should know how to do it. If you're not on Twitter you should be and the first thing you should be prepared to do is create a bio. When you do, remember these four elements: 1) Use a headshot that features "your" face. Not the face of you and your beau or your baby or your puppy. Not your face among many.

Innovation is more about mindset, than skill set. This is something that I truly believe and focus on in my book, “ The Innovator’s Mindset ” (Which I think would also be a good part of this list as well!). In schools though, “innovation” is not only about individuals, but something that is required at all levels. Working with so many different organizations around the world, you can see little things in how they operate which lend to how innovative they are.

Source: Tim McGarvey Both STEM and sports get a bad rap. In the corridors of learning, science is sometimes seen as esoteric or irrelevant, while sports are seen as base or quotidian. Kids are often repelled by the former and drawn by the latter, mostly due to a misunderstanding about the intersection between math and athletics, between technology and physicality.
