Ready? Or not?
Screenshot of an essay titled 'The Ruckus Maker AI Readiness Audit'. The text outlines five key considerations for schools to thrive in an AI-driven world. 1. Learning Personalization: Questions whether AI is used to differentiate learning or if a one-size-fits-all approach is still being applied. 2. Teacher Empowerment: Discusses the importance of teachers collaborating with AI in lesson planning rather than resisting it. 3. Human-Centered Learning: Highlights the need to focus on human relationships and creativity over rote learning. 4. Culture of Innovation: Emphasizes the significance of encouraging experimentation in schools. 5. Ethical Leadership: Stresses the role of schools in teaching responsible AI use and ethical considerations. The conclusion calls for schools to view AI as a tool for enhancing human impact.

Are you leading above or below the line?
A screenshot essay titled 'Most people don’t realize they’re leading from below the line.' The body of the essay discusses insights gained from the book 'The Great CEO Within,' highlighting the importance of recognizing whether one is leading 'below the line' (closed, reactive, defensive) or 'above the line' (open, curious, committed to learning). It provides a checklist for 'conscious leadership' which includes principles such as taking radical responsibility, learning through curiosity, and demonstrating integrity. The author encourages self-reflection by asking readers to identify which principle resonates most with them.

I'm looking for these kind of leaders 👇
A screenshot essay titled 'Do you know any leaders like this?' discusses the characteristics of exceptional leaders. The body highlights traits including self-reflective, growth-oriented, givers not takers, dedicated to time investment, active participation, and being big dreamers. Each trait is elaborated upon, noting that these leaders identify issues, embrace creativity, share resources, commit weekly to development, engage actively, and aim to enhance the educational experience for students and families. The essay culminates with an invitation to join 'The Ruckus Maker Mastermind,' encouraging potential members to apply to transform education practices.

Don't Overcomplicate It

Most people overcomplicate creating change in schools.

Especially when trying to transform resistant teachers into innovative educators.
