Lessons - and teachers - of teamwork and collaboration are everywhere. I entered my #WH1010 classroom to find two of our housekeeping staff taking a quick lunch break. They started to scurry out, and I jokingly invited them to stay if they wanted to learn about teamwork. "Oh we know about teamwork, very important lesson," said one of them. The other nodded in agreement. Time to be the student, not the teacher. "In your experience," I asked, "what's the most important element of teamwork?" Without hesitation, one answered: "Communication. You've gotta be on the same page." The other added, "You have to care for each other." [Mic drop. Class dismissed.] I tried once again to convince them to stay, this time to *teach* about teamwork. They declined: they already had a job to do, and others were counting on them. #leadership #teamwork #collaboration #WH1010 #teamdevelopment

As educators, one of our most important roles is to create an environment where students feel safe, valued, and respected. A safe environment isn’t just about physical safety; it’s about emotional and psychological well-being too. When students feel safe, they are more likely to take risks, ask questions, and engage in learning without fear of judgment. A safe environment builds trust, enabling students to share their ideas, challenges, and concerns openly. As educators, it’s our responsibility to create spaces where every student can thrive. #StudentWellbeing #SafeLearningEnvironment #Education #InclusiveEducation #Leadership

Often school leaders design PL initiatives with a focus on training all staff during a specific phase. While we know that one-and-done does not work, most plans for continuous learning receive less focused attention than they deserve. In our work with school teams at Lessoncast, we have found that initiatives to implement specific approaches like UDL require interactive booster sessions to support teachers in their implementation. We supercharge existing initiatives by carefully designing PL exercises that help teachers understand how their professional practice, context, or approach has developed over time. Click the link below for more information on an intensive, in-person learning opportunity we designed to support teachers implementing UDL Guidelines 3.0. https://lnkd.in/e5RQX47i #UDL #ProfessionalLearning #SuperChargeYourPL #CommunityCare #BraveSpaces #EquityInEducation #SchoolLeadership

How does equipping teachers with behavior management tools transform classrooms? By improving student behavior and achievement. Many educators face daily challenges with behavior management yet receive minimal training or support. It’s a major reason talented teachers leave the profession. When staff are empowered with the right tools, strategies, and support, they can make a real difference—not just for students, but for themselves too. Improving student behavior starts with equipping educators to thrive. Let’s give them the tools, coaching, and leadership opportunities they deserve. Together, we can create a positive ripple effect in every classroom. #EducationMatters #StaffSupport #PositiveBehaviorChange #PCMA #BehaviorManagement #CrisisManagement

Just finished the course “Workshop Facilitation” by Britt Andreatta, PhD! Check it out: https://lnkd.in/ev_T2DMN #conductingworkshops. Workshop facilitation is one of my favorite things to do! You can never get too many perspectives and takes on a skill like this... Every course stimulates new ideas and also reminders of what really helps people to learn, collaborate more effectively and create lasting change. I particularly enjoyed her insights on creating a safe space for participation! Even if you aren't a workshop facilitator, these skills are essential for any leader who wants their team to collaborate more harmoniously and successfully. What made a workshop or group discussion you participated in or led particularly effective? Share your thoughts! #conductingworkshops #linkedlearning #leadership #teambuilding #empowermentculture

Making mistakes is a powerful tool for growth and learning. Imagine trying to improve without ever stumbling—it's like learning to ride a bike without falling. Our education system often teaches kids to avoid mistakes, but in the real world, embracing errors is key. How can we create a culture where people aren't afraid to fail? #Leadership #GrowthMindset #Innovation #Education #LearningByDoing

3moScott Romeika I love this--both for the example of how opportunities for learning from other people are all around us if you are paying attention, and for the conversations it could lead to about the potential payoff if colleges and universities could give more attention to creating a sense of teamwork across (within) our institutions, recognizing the ways that whatever our specific responsibilities, we should all have some common goals. Effective communication is always the key!
