Editor in chief of @ASCD’s @ELmagazine by day. President of awesome by night. (My thoughts are my own, etc.)

Arlington, VA
Had the opportunity to interview the one & only @PrincipalKafele on how school leaders can best support new teachers. Bottom line? Don’t leave new teachers “uncoached.”
For those of you out there who are not members of @ASCD, here's the interview they recently did with me in the September issue of @ELmagazine. Check it out. And if you are an educator and not a member of ASCD, it behooves you to become a member. You can do so at ASCD.org. ascd.org/el/articles/school-…

Effective leadership can help combat the challenges of improving the #mentalhealth of students/teachers! Poor #leadership can make it worse! Ineffective leaders fail to recognize importance of emotional well-being for those they lead!! Thanks @ELmagazine for an important issue!

Occasionally I have a parent conference where I just wanna ask how they raised such awesome kids. I legit want tips. How you bring up such a confident, smart, kind, hard working, fun kid? A scholar but not a grade grubber? A kid that CARES about stuff? Drop the details plz 🤣

I really appreciate the varied approach offered by the articles linked in this piece. Managing student behavior is quite complicated, and I like that this piece treats it as such. ascd.org/el/articles/seeing-… via @Editorbytrade @ELmagazine
