(1) Start by looking at what we’re asking kids to do and what they will be able to do as a result of their work, not what you’re doing.
(2) Set “unreasonably” high achievement goals
(3) Share achievement data from common assessments and let data inform your work. Be transparent.
(4) Design lessons with rigorous cognitive demand. No more “Google-able” curriculum.
(5) Apply professional development strategies with fidelity.
(6) Use formative assessment data not as a quiz or grade and not as punishment, but as a clue to you about how well you’re helping kids learn.
(7) Get into other teachers’ classrooms and they into yours to practice and debrief. Eliminate the culture of autonomy.
(8) Embrace 21st century learning pedagogy and 21st century skills.
(9) Take ownership for all the kids, not just your kids
(10) Eliminate nonsensical educational practices
• Many grading practices
• Assuming all kids learn at the same rate in the same way (so there’s no pyramid of interventions for kids)
• Blaming the parents
• Using time badly
