A Principal's Reflections
SEPTEMBER 17, 2017
Leaders often find and leverage tools, frameworks, and systems to support their own change, as well as that of their school or district. There are many great options out there. As a principal, I in particular, found success using the Rigor Relevance Framework as a means to integrate technology with purpose in order to improve student-learning outcomes.

My new book with Dean Shareski, Different Schools for a Different World , is getting some positive early comments. A sampling is below. Thank you, everyone! 1. Jeff Nelson. Different Schools for a Different World by Scott McLeod and Dean Shareski just hammered my thinking. Their work is not a long read. It’s about 60 pages. Don’t let that fool you.

The Cornerstone for Teachers
SEPTEMBER 17, 2017
The majority of my podcast episodes are on topics that will help improve your teaching practices with ALL of your students, but in some cases, I like to talk about specific student populations. It’s okay to focus for ONE episode on meeting the needs of English Language Learners or students with special needs. And it’s okay to focus for an episode on students of color.

The Innovative Educator
SEPTEMBER 17, 2017
As the school year launches for students across the nation, questions from passionate and innovative educators come into my networks on how to effectively support student learning. One common thread comes from innovative educators who have several classes of students and are trying to figure out how to manage all the demands placed upon them. They know that learning is not effective if you don't get to know your students.

You may remember my excitement about the Call Me Ismael Project that we began last year at my school – to help our school community share and discover great books. Beyond talking about books we love, our goal is to have students and teachers add a personal touch in their featured recordings (why the book was meaningful to them, a character they related to, how the story influenced a decision they have made, etc).

I have been using the above to really help my focus in workshops with not only parents but educators, to get them on the same page. You often here many educators say that parents want the same experience for their children that they had in school, but I disagree. I really believe that parents want kids to have the best experience in schools, and they see their experience as the best, because they don’t know any other experience.

Chances are you or your students come across words you don't understand when reading on the web.

Sometimes you just need Art in your life, on your wall, and now on your phone. The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has a great service for you. "The Museum has just unveiled a novel twist on the picture of the day: Smartphone users merely text “send me” plus a word or two of what they want to 572-51 and the Museum’s servers spit out a related image from the institution’s 35,000 pieces of art." - NY Daily News Text 572-51 with the words “send me” followed by a keyword, a color, or even an emoj
Barrow Media Center: Expect the Miraculous
SEPTEMBER 17, 2017
We had a very short week due to Hurricane Irma, but we still had time for some miraculous things happening in the library. September 15 was International Dot Day, but at Barrow, we also celebrated Grandparent’s Day for the very first time. These two events fit perfectly together because it gave grandparents and grandchildren a space of time to share conversations, stories, creativity, and think about how we are all making our mark in the world.

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.

When he came to the United States 12 years ago, Edgar Velazquez hardly spoke a word of English. Most days of his first year, the 14-year-old Mexican immigrant went to the library after school to read the dictionary, determined to learn 250 words — the minimum for basic conversation. At home, Velazquez often did his homework in the bathroom. It was the quietest spot in his family’s 500 square-foot studio in the Tenderloin, a San Francisco neighborhood with “needles on the ground and a
