Is Micromanaging Teachers a Recipe for School Success?
A new superintendent is trying to improve Houston’s public schools through strictly structured teaching. The district says it’s working. Many educators and parents hate it.

Is it unprofessional for admin not to reply to a teacher email?

Today we honor what would’ve been Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 96th birthday. 🖤 Dr. King was revolutionary who fought for justice, equality, and love when the world needed it most. His fight isn’t over—it's on us to keep pushing, keep resisting, and keep his dream alive.

I absolutely love coaching, but ends of seasons never get any easier.

Anyone have a contact with any college lacrosse coach(es) that could help me out with a coaching question?

Well, that explains it.

Last night our team celebrated the career of former #QCSD teacher Maureen Fazio. What an amazing person! Blessed to know her.

I’ve seen culture change for the worst in 1 school year. Heck, it took just a few months. Rebuilding a positive culture does take years and, generally, a complete change in leadership. #EduSky
It is 💯 something that can take YEARS to cultivate. If time and care is put into fostering a positive culture, there would be a shift in the way the school functions. These changes come from the top and are followed through by those who are in the front lines. Time and patience! #sunchat

Yesterday I published this "manifesto" on the challenges facing education in this liminal moment. If it resonates, please share with others in your networks and communities. #tia @jeffjarvis.bsky.social @edufuturist.bsky.social @ahargreaves.bsky.social

It's time to face this difficult moment in the world with open eyes and learn with others on the journey to redefine “education."

Long ago, I met a man who had worked with Gandhi. He told me, "Larry, the key to Gandhi's success was that he looked at every problem as an opportunity, not as a pain in the butt."

Played a fun game with fact & opinion today and each team had to have a realistic turkey to help keep score. These had us 😂 #edusky
