Deficit language focuses on what's missing rather than what's possible. In school improvement work, this kind of language can erode collaboration and trust. Here's how to shift it: hubs.li/Q03sdHhm0 @MeganKortlandt @Keesling_Math

This summer @Keesling_Math and I wrote about a protocol we’ve developed to facilitate conversations that are asset-oriented and supportive.

Last day of #jepl is packed w goodness: Reading letters we wrote to ourselves at the beginning of the year, wrapping up our study of the new @LearningForward standards, networking across districts to share the PL we’re designing, and book tasting for next year’s clubs!

Part of every #JEPL network is time for book clubs. Members select professional books and discuss in year-long groups. If choice & discussion is important for students, it’s also important for teachers and for instructional leaders.

Today at #jepl district leaders are getting together to share ideas for how to facilitate PL that gives teachers an opportunity to watch each other teach. There are so many constraints & logistics but it is so powerful & worth it! @Keesling_Math

I don’t often promote our book because it makes me deeply uncomfortable, but I just visited it on Amazon for the 1st time in a long while and saw 1) people have reviewed it! 2) the “customers who bought this also bought…” list seems like great company! amazon.com/Principal-Labs-St…

Wrapping up a series where we focus on job-embedded professional learning for leaders. It’s been a doozy of a year, so we’re grateful for the opportunity to learn together about supporting instruction and continuous improvement. #lifeatos @Keesling_Math
