With a frightening teacher shortage looming, we need teachers to stay and we need to really improve teaching and learning we have to transform the way we observe and evaluate teachers. Trust-Based Observations provides that transformative change. You see, we understand that first and foremost we're in a people business. And as such, we have to create conditions most conducive to learning. We do that by using the observation process to: Build meaningful differentiated trusting relationships with each teacher; Develop safe spaces where empowered teachers embrace taking risks to grow practice because they know they're supported; Create schoolwide cultures of trust where, as Hattie describes Trust-Based Observations, "Demonstrating collective teacher efficacy in action" is the norm. The result: improved teaching and learning and workplaces where teachers want to stay! Head to www.trustbased.com eLearning Partners Need help starting your eLearning courses or training?

We’re not done growing and learning. When working with leaders see them for greater than they currently are is really important. The job does you, instead of you doing the job. The answer is already within the person I’m serving. There’s only the next version of yourself. The Chinese symbol for listen. The pressure is on all of us. The very first day I ever taught, and I had this moment of where I realized I was in charge of all of this. Insubordinate or incompetent. Ignorant or insubordinate. What got you here won’t get you there. Empathy, equity, adapt, develop, communicate, unfinished. Not a comprehensive, you must do all these things to be successful. The Unfinished Leader Available NOW How to be a transformative Principal? Make sure voices are heard. Don’t take yourself too seriously, we’re all in these jobs temporarily. Take time to look inward. Sponsors InControl SEL for Middle School In Control created an effortless social and emotional, character development video curriculum for your students that’s ZERO-TEACHER-PREP AND it’s so cool looking- it feels like a Youtube or Netflix Series- and that’s purposeful, they meet students right where they’re at. The videos are 5-6 minutes, kids love them, teachers love them, and you will too. There’s no guesswork in the program because there’s a 21-video progression for each grade level. They’ve thought of everything-- because it’s a group of award winning counselors, teachers, and principals that came up with this thing. It’ll help you save tons of time and headaches. Take it from me, it’s time to check that social-emotional learning box, the empty one that’s been keeping you up at night--and it’s time to do it in a meaningful, measurable, magnetic way.

Aaron chats with Superintendent PJ Caposey on the challenges of finishing the school year strong amid Covid-19. Hear PJ's thoughts on how our district and community can constantly improve and set a culture for change.

PJ Caposey is a dynamic speaker and a transformational leader and educator. PJ began his career as an award-winning teacher in the inner-city of Chicago and has subsequently led significant change in every administrative post he has held. PJ became a principal at 28 and within three years was able to lead a small-town/rural school historically achieving near the bottom of its county to multiple national recognitions. After four years, PJ moved to his current district, Meridian CUSD 223, where he is in his eighth year as superintendent and has led a similar turnaround leading to multiple national recognitions for multiple different efforts. PJ has written 8 books for various publishers and his work has been published online for sites such as ASCD, Edutopia, NPR, the Washington Post, and the Huffington Post. He works in the Education Department of two universities and in a myriad of capacities with the Illinois Principal’s Association including Principal Coach and author of the first complete stack of MicroCredentials offered in Illinois. Why did you go into Education Diagnosed with cancer at 17. Teachers weren’t vital to me being successful until they were! Why (almost) everyone does teacher evaluation wrong and why it is one of the worst ROI processes in schools! I l love teacher evaluation when I am performing it. Resource intensive - seldom leads to Teachers growth and success wasn’t dependent on the evaluation process Second thing it does is sort teachers.
* Total waste of time because almost everyone is proficient. The process is too long to get rid of someone (Hire slow, fire fast is how the business world recommends. Education is hire fast (usually 1 interview) and fire slow. Evaluation process can take easily a full calendar year to fire someone).  Veteran Teachers are more often insubordinate than ineffective. unwilling to change at the macro, then we can do something to change at the micro If we are waiting holistically to have the conversation during the evaluation process, we’ve lost the opportunity. Evaluation audit and assessment. Suggestions for improvement are too often copy and pasted. That indicates a depth of knowledge on an evaluator’s part. Pre-conference is the most effective way to focus on growth. Pre-conference should be focused on the why questions. If we don’t get to the why level, then our feedback will never lead to growth. Ken Scott driver’s ed teacher What is the objective how will they show mastery why should they know it. It’s really hard to bring teachers to observe each other. Instructional coaching. Any feedback that is trusted and is about growth is more valuable than feedback that is about raking and sorting. If we don’t create How to be a transformative principal? Shawn Achor - moving the goalposts - what does success look like? Encourage teachers to give themselves grace. You’re playing a game that doesn’t end in 2021! 
* Since everyone is already proficient, we might as well let teachers make their own goals and be in charge of their evaluation (much like we want kids to be in charge of their learning). 
* Principals observing teachers is fine, but the emphasis should be on teachers observing each other. Knowledge of instruction gets much better when you can see what other teachers are doing.

Episode 40: Show NotesThe pandemic has shown that change is possible and that educators can serve high levels of instruction to students across a number of different modalities. As Dr. PJ Caposey explains in today’s episode, “your zip code shouldn’t determine the quality of your education.” An acclaimed keynote speaker and superintendent, today we speak with PJ about leadership, work-life balance, and how we can change our systems to offer a better education for all. After introducing PJ, we dive into how his district has handled the pandemic, along with the difficulties of leading a diverse team facing enormous strain. We then unpack the differences between cheerleading and leading, and why education is in crisis as it hasn’t evolved at the same rate as our society. PJ shares his insights into why it’s challenging to enact change before we explore the role of student voices when making decisions. We also discuss what keeps PJ up at night and how you can achieve a work-life balance — or as PJ calls it, a work-life fit. Near the end of the episode, PJ reflects on what the pandemic has taught him and how he remains hopeful. The pandemic has given us an incredible opportunity to innovate education.

Have you ever said, "I'm running on empty?" Did you ever stop and think that maybe this was literal when you were using it in a figurative way? Science has shown that we have a finite amount of cognitive capacity each day. In other words, we essentially have a battery that keeps us going.  Thankfully, it's rechargeable. But it is up to us to make sure that we are starting each day with a fully charged battery. And as educators, our role goes beyond making sure our battery is charged. We must make sure that our students and parents are working with a fully charged battery as well. That's the foundation to the best-selling book #FullyCharged. In the book, co-authors Julie Adams, PJ Caposey, and Rosa Isiah offer over 140 Battery Charging Maslow & Bloom Strategies for Students, Parents, and Staff. The book is divided into two sections: Maslow and Bloom, so it only makes sense to offer this episode in two parts. Today Julie Adams joins Anchored in Education to talk more about how we can better meet the Maslow needs of students, parents, and staff. After listening, head over to www.escottengland.com to find the show resources and read more about Julie and find a link to her website as well as a link to #FullyCharged.

I don't think I would be alone in saying that at some point managing time has been a struggle. Too often though we just say that time management is our issue. But have we ever thought about what exactly time management issues truly are? What if time management didn't really exist; and instead it was just the symptom of a larger issue? That is exactly what Dr. PJ Caposey proposed in his amazing book Manage Your Time or Time Will Manage You. PJ gives us eight potential root causes that could result in what we often refer to as just time management.  The perfect way to say goodbye to 2019 and hello to a brand new year is to have PJ join Anchored in Education to help us better understand how we can fully utilize our time.

Classroom observations can be dog-and-pony shows and used as weapons... or they could be meaningful and provide an opportunity for dialogue and growth.  An Illinois Superintendent decided to take home every formal observation and read them.  Insane?  Genius?  Both?  He wrote a book about it...and a damn good one at that.  Here about it in this episode. Dr. PJ Caposey can be followed on Twitter: @MCUSDSupe 

Giving and getting classroom observations can be a daunting task...or it could be a great way to grow. Instead of a dog-n-pony show, the observation tool could be one of reflection and praise. Dr. PJ Caposey can be followed on twitter: @MCUSDSupe

Students are the heart of education. Of course that seems to be stating the obvious. Yet, for decades now we have made changes and improvements to education based upon what we as adults felt was needed. Sure, along the way we have said we are going to do what is in the best interest of students. But has anyone ever asked students what their interests even are? That is what authors Mike Lubelfeld, Nick Polyak, and PJ Caposey set out to do in their book Student Voice: From Invisible to Invaluable. The authors explored including student voice in everything from major construction and renovation projects, to curriculum and policy changes, and even seating student representatives on the Board of Education in an advisory, non-voting role. This week on Anchored in Education, Mike and PJ join us to talk more about their experiences with including student voice in their districts. We examine key thoughts from the book as we work towards seeing just how simple, yet crucial, adding student voice is to the education process. After listening, head over to www.escottengland.com to find the to read more about Mike Lubelfeld and PJ Caposey as well as find a link to their book.

In this episode, I am sharing a speech that I presented at the K-12 Global Education Research Association's 5th annual conference in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China. I wrote about this experience on my blog: http://mikelubelfeld.edublogs.org/ Joining educational leaders from across the United States, China, Denmark, the United Kingdom, Italy, Russia, Costa Rica, Finland, Singapore, & Canada, I represented North Shore School District 112 at the Fifth Annual Conference of Global K-12 Education Research Association in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China. Through my leadership roles within the education community, including training aspiring superintendents, teaching at the graduate education level, presenting at conferences, and authoring books & journal articles, I am informed about conferences & symposia on global education issues. I learned about this particular educational conference from the (AASA) American Association of School Administrators (AASA). Together with superintendents and educational leaders from the nations mentioned above, and leaders from the following states in the USA: IL, MA, IA, CT, VA, AZ, OH, MD, VA, & WI, I was invited to present a speech to an audience of local (Chinese) educators, administrators, & local civic officials. Many of us presented speeches and shared presentations with one another and our Chinese hosts and local educators. This year’s conference topic was Cultivating Student Leadership Skills. This topic is near and dear to me as I recently co-wrote the book Student Voice: From Invisible to Invaluable (2018 Rowman & Littlefield) with fellow Illinois superintendents Nick Polyak and PJ Caposey.
