  1. Welcome back

  2. The Research • The Japanese eat little fat and suffer fewer… • Heart attacks than Americans, British and Australians

  3. The French eat a lot of fat but also suffer fewer… • Heart attacks than Americans, British and Australians

  4. The Japanese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer… • Heart attacks than Americans, British and Australians

  5. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and also suffer fewer… • Heart attacks than Americans, British and Australians

  6. The Conclusion • Eat and drink whatever you like… • It is speaking English that will kill you!

  7. The Research Formula • Best Practices • Danielson Teacher Framework • SIOP • RTI • PBIS • Data Teams • PLCs • ETC…ETC…ETC… • Someone is profiting off each one!

  8. If it is formulaic someone would have automated it and we wouldn’t need you! • There is no substitute for a great teacher!

  9. I am not a motivational Speaker • I am a dreamer • I am a worker • I am a coach • I am an alchemist • What are you?

  10. The problem • Public education started in 1918 as an economic trade-off • Trade short term profits (child labor) for long term productivity (compliance) • Tradable jobs – doing things that could be done elsewhere • Only 600,000 added in the past 20 years • The New York fast food workers

  11. What should a School Be? • Mechanism for opportunity • Tool for empowerment • Safe, healthy and happy place • All children deserve this • Place of learning, not a place of doing • A place that children want to be a part of

  12. The secret formula For a Golden SchoolDon’t tell anyone! • Create a culture the attracts and retains the most talented teachers • Foster a culture of ownership, freedom and accountability • Focus on growth: everyday for every student • Relentlessly transfer our passion to our students

  13. School Improvement • Build Culture • Win Engagement • Achievement will follow • Achievement leads to freedom

  14. It is time to liberate our schools!

  15. Culture • How would kids feel if they were welcomed by an adult and greeted by smiles from every person every day? • Maslow’s Hierarchy • Social/emotional empathy • Building norms and rules designed to promote learning and imagination • Expectations that are explicitly taught and modeled • Character development for students • Discipline structures based on learning and social justice • Equity not equality • Remember we are here for children and adults are compensated to be inconvenienced!

  16. Engagement • Are our kids ready to learn before we ask them to? • How do we respond when students ask to learn? • Do we teach children or curriculum? • What would happen if we switched from an expectation of doing to an expectation of learning? • Are our buildings set up for the learning of kids or the convenience of adults? • Is there a constant connection being built between what we are asking students to do and an obvious piece of their own present or future?

  17. Rethinking Teaching and Learning • Precise, focused instruction • Point of greatest impact • Cooperation instead of compliance • Mass customization • Homework as practice rather than assessment • Flipping the classroom • Mastery of skills rather than the collection of points • Real-world applications • Think about what you do and if it truly impacts learning

  18. Here is where we start • Primed for change • Surrounded by talented people • It is not about what you have done, but about what you will do
