Her earnest question about inequality in our education system was met with a grotesque abuse of power.

This is a Brand New book in excellent condition. Format: PaperbackAuthor: Andy JacksISBN10: 1951600975ISBN13: 9781951600976 Your school is defined by how you support your most struggling students.Why did we become school leaders and teachers? To educate, uplift, and inspire all students. So when things go wrong, why do schools seem to use exclusion as a first reaction, especially for kids that need to be in class the most? What can schools do instead to improve student behavior and help everyone involved feel supported along the way? As a principal, Dr. Andy Jacks was driven to find the answers to these questions. Hed learned firsthand how quick fixes, shame, and blame end up being very harmful to students and ruining relationships within the school team and with parents. He also discovered that teachers need more than just platitudes and positive attitudes when difficult situations arise. Teachers want to help their students, and they deserve solutions.This led him on a journey of discovery: doing a doctoral dissertation on discipline, forming committees and focus groups, and reading every piece of research he could get his hands on. The result is Discipline Win, an insightful and timely book based firmly in twenty-first-century educational realities. It focuses on moving away from a failing zero-tolerance stance to one based on compassion for students and insight into their emotions and experiences. Dr. Jacks sheds light on effective discipline strategies that proactively teach students how to work with others, regulate their internal struggles, and align their actions with their goals in life.Winning in discipline is more than just dealing with misconduct. Its about creating a school culture of inclusion, knowing your students, celebrating what makes each one special, and designing supports based on the needs they have in and out of school. Discipline Win is full of ideas and practical suggestions that will actually make a difference. Educators deserve to feel empowered and know that they can and will make a positive impact in even the most challenging situations.

\"Almost everyone agrees that America's urban schools are a mess. But while this agreement has fostered widespread support for aggressive reform, Frederick Hess argues that much of what ails urban education is actually the result of continuous or fragmentary reform. Hess explains that political incentives drive school superintendents to promote reforms--to demonstrate that they are \"\"making a difference.\"\" Superintendents have to do this quickly, both because their tenure is usually three years or less and because urban communities are anxious to see educational improvement. However, the nature of urban school districts makes it very difficult to demonstrate concrete short-term improvement. The result is what he terms \"\"policy churn,\"\" which distracts teachers and principals from efforts to refine classroom teaching while seldom resulting in successful long-term changes. Hess argues that policymakers have misallocated resources by pursuing the \"\"right\"\" structure or the \"\"best\"\" pedagogy while paying insufficient attention to the more mundane--and more important--questions of how to implement, refine, and sustain a particular approach in their particular district. Hess explains that previous research on high-performing schools suggests that the best schools are characterized by focus and by an ability to develop expertise in specific approaches to teaching and learning. To help educators and policymakers adopt and nurture a focused agenda, he recommends institutional changes that increase the effectiveness of performance outcomes and reduce the incentives to emphasize symbolic reform. \"

Among the early pioneers of photography in the 1800s was a middle-aged English doctor called Hugh Welch Diamond, who believed photography could be used in the diagnosis and treatment of the mentally ill. Diamond first established his medical career with a private practice in Soho, London, before specializing in psychiatry and becoming Resident Superintendent of the Female Department at the Surrey County Lunatic Asylum in 1848—a position he held until 1858. Diamond was an early adopter of photography, taking his first portraits just three months after Henry Fox Talbot licensed his “salt print” process for producing “photogenic drawings.” As a follower of “physiognomics”—a popular science based on the theory that disease (and character) could be discerned from an individual’s features or physiognomy—Diamond believed photography could be used as a curative therapy. In documenting madness, Diamond was following on from his predecessor at Surrey County, Sir Alexander Morison who had produced a book of illustrations by various artists depicting patients at the asylum called The Physiognomy of Mental Diseases in 1838. Diamond believed the book was not scientific as the drawings were mainly illustrative interpretations of what the artist saw and could therefore veer towards caricature. He believed that...

Highlights #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Brené Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong, and brave the wilderness. About the Author: Dr. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston, where she holds the Huffington Foundation Endowed Chair at the Graduate College of Social Work. 400 Pages Business + Money Management, Leadership Description About the Book Leadership is not about titles, status, and wielding power. A leader is anyone who takes responsibility for recognizing the potential in people and ideas, and has the courage to develop that potential. When we dare to lead, we don't pretend to have the right answers. We stay curious and ask the right questions. We don't see power as finite and hoard it. We know that power becomes infinite when we share it with others. We don't avoid difficult conversations and situations. We lean into vulnerability when it's necessary to do good work. But daring leadership in a culture defined by scarcity, fear, and uncertainty requires skill-building around traits that are deeply and uniquely human. The irony is that we're choosing not to invest in developing the hearts and minds of leaders at the exact same time as we're scrambling to figure out what we have to offer that machines and artificial intelligence can't do better and faster. What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start. Brenâe Brown has spent the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies all ask the same question: How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? Book Synopsis #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Brené Brown has taught us what it means to dare greatly, rise strong, and brave the wilderness. Now, based on new research conducted with leaders, change makers, and culture shifters, she's showing us how to put those ideas into practice so we can step up and lead.

What can we do better? Empathy, connection, and courage, to start. Four-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Brené Brown has spent the past two decades studying the emotions and experiences that give meaning to our lives, and the past seven years working with transformative leaders and teams spanning the globe. She found that leaders in organizations ranging from small entrepreneurial startups and family-owned businesses to nonprofits, civic organizations, and Fortune 50 companies all ask the same question: How do you cultivate braver, more daring leaders, and how do you embed the value of courage in your culture? In Dare to Lead, Brown uses research, stories, and examples to answer these questions in the no-BS style that millions of readers have come to expect and love. Brown writes, "One of the most important findings of my career is that daring leadership is a collection of four skill sets that are 100 percent teachable, observable, and measurable. It's learning and unlearning that requires brave work, tough conversations, and showing up with your whole heart. Easy? No. Because choosing courage over comfort is not always our default. Worth it? Always. We want to be brave with our lives and our work. It's why we're here." Whether you've read Daring Greatly and Rising Strong or you're new to Brené Brown's work, this book is for anyone who wants to step up and into brave leadership. Review Quotes "With Dare to Lead, Brené brings decades of research to bear in a practical and insightful guide to courageous leadership. This book is a road map for anyone who wants to lead mindfully, live bravely, and dare to lead."--Sheryl Sandberg, COO, Facebook, founder, LeanIn.Org and OptionB.Org "Brené visited Pixar to talk with our filmmakers. Her message was important, as movies are best when they come from a place of vulnerability, when the people who make them encounter setbacks and are forced to overcome them, when they are willing to have their asses handed to them. It is easy to sit back and talk about the values of a safe and meaningful culture, but extraordinarily difficult to pull it off. You don't achieve good culture without constant attention, without an environment of safety, courage, and vulnerability. These are hard skills, but they are teachable skills. Start with this book."--Ed Catmull, president, Pixar and Walt Disney Animation Studios "Whether you're leading a movement or a start-up, if you're trying to change an organizational culture or the world, Dare to Lead will challenge everything you think you know about brave leadership and give you honest, straightforward, actionable tools for choosing courage over comfort."--Tarana Burke, senior director, Girls for Gender Equity, founder, the Me Too movement "We asked Brené to bring her work on courage and vulnerability to our Air Force base. This is a tough audience, many of them with significant combat experience. Within five minutes, you could have heard a pin drop. Brené cuts through the noise and speaks to what makes us human and makes the mission happen. Dare to Lead is about real leadership: tenacious, from the heart, and full of grit."--Brigadier General Brook J. Leonard, United States Air Force "Brené is Google Empathy Lab's Obi-Wan Kenobi. She has profoundly inspired our product leaders to design in and embrace vulnerability, rather than engineer it out. It's a critical and transformative act to bring your alive, messy, wholehearted human self to work every day. Dare to Lead is the skillful and empowering Jedi training we have all been waiting for."--Danielle Krettek, founder, Google Empathy Lab "Applying the principles from Dare to Lead to my work as a principal has transformed the way I show up with parents, students, and colleagues, and how I lead. Brené's words, stories, and examples connect with our hearts and minds, and her actionable approach gives us the tools to be braver with our lives and our work."--Kwabena Mensah, PhD, assistant superintendent, Fort Bend ISD, Principal of the Year, Katy ISD and Texas Alliance of Black School Educators "Brené truly gives it all away in Dare to Lead. Courage is a set of teachable skills, and she teaches us exactly how to build those muscles with research, stories, examples, and new language. The future belongs to brave leaders, and she's written the ultimate playbook for daring leadership."--Scott Harrison, founder and CEO, charity: water About the Author Dr. Brené Brown is a research professor at the University of Houston, where she holds the Huffington Foundation Endowed Chair at the Graduate College of Social Work. She also holds the position of visiting professor in management at the University of Texas at Austin McCombs School of Business. Brené has spent the past two decades studying courage, vulnerability, shame, and empathy.

With all that has been asked of educators this year (and every year), adding in poorly designed professional development feels a bit like putting hot fudge on your ballpark hotdog—maybe not be the most efficient use of resources…on so many levels. Adults are unique in how they learn. There is a specific finesse that is required from people wanting to instruct adults. When done right, professional development can be more than just “valuable;” it can spark real growth and change. What really drives adult learning? How can understanding the process behind how adults learn drive professional development? How can we get the hot fudge on the sundae and keep the hotdogs out of the conversation? Adults have a higher sense of self-direction and motivation Adults tend to learn because they want to or they see the direct benefit of learning, rather than because they are told to or are expected to. To use self-direction to your benefit when teaching adults, consider creating learning outcomes before diving too deep into content. Identify the value and benefits of the learning material. Curate learning paths that are tailored to your audience. If you have science teachers in the room, your examples should include science concepts, not Roman history. Make accessing knowledge simple and immediately applicable to help teachers get started. Adults use their life experience to facilitate learning Adult learners rely heavily on their experiences when they engage in learning, and they benefit from instruction that understands this. Use content that draws from real-world examples and relatable scenarios and that builds on direct experience. The challenge can be that some in the room might have experiences that are outdated, incorrect, biased, or incomplete. Be aware of this common point of contention. Start with a baseline of creating an understanding how to search for resources, expert opinions, proven data, and relevant publications. This is a skill that all learners will find valuable. Adults are focused on achieving goals Adults enter the learning process focused on solutions. They need to know how the information will help them achieve their goals, whether personal or professional. In giving a group of adult learners the space to create a recognizable, achievable goal in the form of a problem that they must solve, you will be able to encourage the development of knowledge, skills, and teamwork. Adults need to know how the information is relevant The immediate, short-term relevancy and the long-term benefits of engaging with the content should be underscored. It needs to demonstrate that there will be value in the time spent learning—that the information is practical. This goes back to understanding that the information, while it might be new or different, has purpose for the adult learners. Adults are practical Learning materials should be constructed with practical examples using real-world scenarios and problem-solving activities that require learners to access their experience and knowledge. Focus on delivering knowledge that can quickly be called upon in the learners’ day-to-day roles and applied immediately. Adults are looking for help and mentorship Create opportunities for watching the action unfold before the eyes. Provide a demonstration. Give learners the time to absorb processes and procedures. Use scenario-driven activities and case studies that are founded in research to demonstrate the content. Identify mentors who have exercised these new skills successfully, and let them share. Education is a unique passion, and every teacher has a different set of challenges. When learning new skills, hearing from someone who shares these experiences builds trust and credible insight. Adults are open for modern ways of learning Provide a flexible way to access the information. Adult learners understand that learning can be gained in a variety of ways, and they are willing to try new formats. By offering a variety of sources and options, a school can ensure that learners have access to the processes that engage them. Lear

Spread the loveThe future ready movement is focused on increasing digital learning opportunities for all students. Wise instructional coaches will want to harness the power of this movement so that they can better serve their colleagues and students. There’s one thing that a future ready instructional coach most definitely does not look like: an instructional coach from a decade ago. Today’s instructional coaches need to be aware of the latest edtech tools so that they can incorporate those tools into their materials.

Today kicks off Teacher Appreciation Week and Tuesday is Teacher Appreciation Day. We celebrate it to honor those who devote their lives to teaching children and serving others. It's nice to get a pat on the back, especially this time of year. We often go about our day lecturing, explaining directions over and over, wondering if anyone is listening, if anyone cares. Sometimes it's a thankless job. Sometimes it seems as if we've not made a bit of difference. Then, perhaps years later, we receive a note from a student or a call from a parent who just wanted to say thanks. Those moments lift us and remind us that our jobs may not have immediate rewards, but they DO make all the difference in the lives of others. As we near the close of another school year, stay positive and end it with a smile. And know that even though you may not see the fruit of your labor this year, or next year, or even in ten years, you have planted the seed and it will continue to grow because of your efforts. Thank you to teachers everywhere for your efforts with our children...with our future. Here are some of my favorite teaching-related Pinterest pins:
