It’s completely normal to change your mind. You’re allowed to rethink what you once believed, no guilt required. 🎧 Spotify: https://t.co/bhxYlJ1ZQa 📺 YouTube: https://t.co/dtwX8RNwmp #PlayEd3Podcast #TeacherLife #MindsetShift #EducationReflection @Brian_Sepe_ @TishaPoncio

People spend 2 hours worrying and contemplating about a task that takes 20 minutes to complete. More doing. Less contemplation.

Want control? Set a goal. A goal that consumes you. One that you can’t stop thinking about. The kind of goal that is somehow connected to everything you consume in a day. That direction is where new discoveries and growth exist. Follow that path, see what’s out there.

When coaches go into a classroom data helps “makes the invisible visible”. In my upcoming book Data Rules, there are 10 guidelines on how to use data effectively. I'm excited to finally release it this September! Learn when pre-order is available: https://t.co/0YG369i1Bh

When co-presenting, you need a partner that pushes & challenges your thinking! That was evident throughout our design process. If you want to learn more about our process for presenting engaging workshops w/ intentionality, reach out w/ a DM for more information ⬇️

6. Challenging content delivered w/ intentionality. Engaging workshops be sticky and meaningful w/ a few key elements: - Design thinking - Empathy for audience - Lived experiences - Personally designed protocols - Guiding questions - Capturing the brilliance in the room

5. Personalized relevancy. Our entire design was built w/ our audience in mind. Here's what that guided our work: - demystify the work with AI at each level (K-12) - AI for teacher optimization first (builds understanding) - rethinking content & assessment in the classroom

4. Challenge personal beliefs. Topics that challenge beliefs & current systems can be tricky to navigate. Hearing multiple perspectives matters. We designed interactions that engaged all perspectives. - Conversation protocols - Partner work - Collaborative table work (10 max)

3. Stop trying to be an EXPERT, it's holding you back! Credibility comes from lived experiences. We shared our work w/ a practitioner lens. Share: 1. current work & explorations 2. failures & experimentations 3. changed views & iterations

2. Exploration over dictation. Big picture views of the 'why' are essential. Make it interactive in ways that create pathways for new discoveries through exploration. - Treat the 'why' as play - Surface new discoveries whole group - Interactive segments build empathy & hope

1. Designing from 500 ft. We decided to look at the 'big picture' first. We identified frameworks that could support thinking, reflection, and action. - Adaptive vs. Technical challenges - Learning cycles to support experimentation - Change cycles

I co-presented alongside my talented colleague and friend, @EdTechMcMillan earlier this week on AI for teachers. AI can be a challenging topic to lead through courses and workshops. Here's what I learned (a thread 👇)

It’s easy to find the negatives. Right now, there is a teacher: - unlocking a level of self-belief for a student. - redesigning their entire week for Ss. - sharing their positive beliefs about a student to challenge other’s views. You’ll find the positives, start looking!

Striving to ‘get it right’ the first time, will leave you stranded in ‘planning’ at the outset or ‘negativity’ on the backend. - expect imperfections - set a date to launch - obsess over the build - experiment - assess - iterate after Attack a similar project w/ new knowledge.

You’re overthinking the planning phase: - get the ideas out of your head - set a goal - list the actions - take one small step today - ignore what others will think - iterate tomorrow - expect improvements/growth Expect clarity through action & improvement through consistency

Hard to be a successful coach who says they want to help people flourish, but your actions indicate that you know everything you need to know. You try to ‘fix’ people. It doesn’t work. At that point, you realize you should’ve worked on yourself before working w/others.
