We have to start from street data, not satellite data. Thank you Dr. Jamila Dugan for reminding me what I stand for. #CISC2023

Great mentors are learners as well as teachers. Data: when mentors value insights from below, they're more engaged and effective—and their mentees are more successful. Mentoring is not a transfer of wisdom from one to another. It's a relationship where two people grow together.

Wisdom doesn’t come from experience. It comes from reflecting on experience. Between ages 25 and 75, the correlation between age and wisdom is zero. Gaining insight and perspective is not about the number of years you've lived. It's about the number of lessons you've learned.

I’m seeing a growing number of students complain: “My grade doesn’t reflect the effort I put into the course.” Public service announcement: You don’t get an A for effort. You earn it for excellence. Success is measured by the level of mastery you show, not how hard you work.

But then I realized that most hyper-successful people still have no idea what they want to do. They just have a bias for action that has allowed them to capitalize on opportunities and compound effectively over time. If you have a bias for action, you'll always be fine.

In summary: (1) Family time is limited—cherish it. (2) Friend time is limited—prioritize real ones. (3) Partner time is significant—never settle. (4) Children time is precious—be present. (5) Coworker time is significant—find energy. (6) Alone time is highest—love yourself.

Doing some research about instructional coaching models in school districts or schools. Something structured and non-evaluative. Anyone teaching or admining in an environment like that? #jimknight #impactcycle #instructionalcoaching #coaching #tlap #caedchat #edchat

What's one low effort, high impact tweak you can make to your assessment practices to reflect the Universal Design for Learning? Self-reported grades and self assessment can have huge impact on students learning. #assessment #UDL

If your syllabus includes, "Cheating or plagiarism will not be tolerated and will result in in an automatic failure of the assignment," please don't send home a teachers pay teachers assignment as the first thing you ask my child to complete. #parenting #teaching #education
