Today's episode is on a topic that's gaining popularity amongst everyone, which is the Enneagram test. This personality theory helps determine certain characteristics based on a variety of factors. And while it's good to be self-aware, this information can be beneficial in the classroom. My guest today, Kirsten Hammond, is sharing how the Enneagram test can be a powerful teaching tool.For those that are unaware, Kirsten first gives a brief overview of the Enneagram test and outlines the nine different primary personality types. From there, she explains how it can be used to differentiate and support different learning experiences in the classroom. This includes tailoring your lessons, how students process information, and ways students can showcase their learning to meet the needs of each student. Having students take the Enneagram test helps you determine how best to support your students academically and emotionally. Kirsten shared so many useful ways to bring the Enneagram test into your classroom, and just like me, you'll gain so many ideas on how to utilize it with your own students!Show Notes: https://theliteracydive.com/episode133Resources Mentioned:Join my Daily Writing DisguiseEnneagram Personality TestMultiple Intelligences TestConnect with me:Check out my TpT StoreSubscribe to my E-mail listInstagram PostsBlog PostsFacebook PostsIf you are enjoying The Literacy Dive Podcast, please follow, leave a rating, and a helpful review!

Discussions about education tend to focus on those who do the teaching. Let's not ignore, however, the abundant opportunities for improvement possible at the point of learning. Amy and Mike invited educator Patrice Bain to explain the importance of feedback-driven metacognition. What are five things you will learn in this episode? Why doesn't study time always equate to commensurate learning? How can we discriminate between what we know and what we still need to learn? How are retrieval, spacing, and metacognition connected? Who is ultimately responsible for learning outcomes? How can teachers and learners both harness feedback-driven metacognition? MEET OUR GUEST Patrice M. Bain, Ed.S., is a veteran K–12 educator, speaker and author. As a finalist for Illinois Teacher of the Year and a Fulbright Scholar in Russia, she has been featured in national and international podcasts, webinars, presentations and popular press, including NOVA and Scientific American. In addition to Powerful Teaching: Unleash the Science of Learning, she also co-authored an essential practice guide for educators, Organizing Instruction and Study to Improve Student Learning, in collaboration with the Institute of Education Sciences (IES).  Bain's latest book A Parent's Guide to Powerful Teaching reinforces the “Teaching Triangle'' of student, parent, and teacher collaboration. Patrice was one of two U.S. teachers on the working task group: Neuromyths vs. Neurotruths, sponsored by (IES) and the National Commission of Educational Research (NCER). In addition, she was a contributor to the United Nations UNESCO ISEE (International Science and Evidence-based Education) Assessment, outlining the vision for world education by 2030.  Find Patrice at www.patricebain.com.

When do we teach pupils how to learn? For most the answer is never, it is an assumption that they know how to get information into their memories in an effective way.  Patrice Bain is on a mission to change this and is an experienced teacher who has worked with cognitive scientists for over 15 years to develop effective methods to support pupils' learning.  Today she talks about the four powertools - Retrieval practice, spaced learning, feedback driven metacognition and interleaving and what these look like in the classroom.  Find out more: PatriceBain.com Powerfulteaching.org Retrievalpractice.org The Facebook Group - Powerful Teaching Book Club 

In this podcast, Dr Weston talks with Patrice Bain, educator, speaker and author, about her new book A Parent's Guide to Powerful Teaching.

You'll also learn more about why it's important to discuss learning processes with children, how to help with revision and retrieval and how to avoid cognitive overload.

In episode 119, I'm excited to welcome Dr. Chris Myers to the show! Chris wrote an article titled, Storytelling as a Tool for Vicarious Learning Among Air Medical Transport Crews.

The Fay School leverages a future-focused curriculum integrated into leadership development through emotional intelligence to transform your child's potential into a powerful toolkit and reliable compass that launches them into middle school and beyond. - Once you and your child step onto our outdoor-oriented campus, we believe you will experience what separates us from the other independent schools in Houston. Most importantly, you will learn how The Fay School has begun taking steps to intentionally transform the landscape of early childhood and elementary education through innovation. All of what we do and aspire to become places your child first. - I'll release episode 473 with Melissa Sherman, the principal there in a couple weeks, on March 20th. - This month, we are talking about Hiring, and, since Hiring is the most important job you will do, I'd like to read an excerpt from my book about Hiring. Reports of teacher shortages have been a constant backdrop in the United States for several years now. Transformative principals typically don't have a problem finding new staff for all the reasons we've spoken about in this book. If you have a Vital Vision, communicate effectively, build positive relationships, and support your teachers, you'll find that there is an endless list of people who want to be part of your school. It's a natural byproduct of the things we have been talking about. You can have that, too. Hiring the best people for your school is vital. Todd Whitaker says that hiring may be the most important thing a principal does: “You can get a teacher more on board in 5 minutes in your interview than 5 years in your building.” It behooves us as principals to ask the best questions we can to find out if someone will be a good fit for our school. As Bill Daggett says, “Culture trumps strategy. Every. Single. Time.” When interviewing, you must find the best person you can. It is even acceptable to wait as long as you need to until you find that person. Sometimes, a person serving as a long term sub is better than a poor teacher. If you have ever hired the wrong person for a job, you know that is true. Just preparing to hire teachers is a multi-step process. Hiring is a year-round job, one that takes on different aspects at different times in the year. Hiring can be risky. Or rather, I should say, hiring is RISCHI (pronounced risky). Recruit Introduce Hire Screen Cultural fit Hire Introduce ![[How2be Figure 4.excalidraw]]![[how2be figure 5.excalidraw]] I like to see this as a three-circle Venn diagram because there is overlap in the areas. We'll dive into each of these areas shortly. It is also effective to think of this as a never-ending circle! Where you are regularly doing each of these activities. With teacher shortages that have plagued our industry for years being exacerbated by the pandemic, more than ever we need to take a serious step in hiring people effectively. A recent study by the Learning Policy Institute called “A Coming Crisis in Teaching: Teaching Supply, Demand, and Shortages in the U.S.,” shows that in 2021 the demand for new teachers would be 300,000 and the amount of teachers available would be less than 200,000. That's a projected shortage of 100,000 teachers! And that was in 2016, before the pandemic was even a thing. In 2021, we've had governments requesting retired teachers come back to take the load off of other teachers. Districts are offering signing bonuses and trying to attract teachers. While those may be nice, that's nothing compared to you implementing what you read in this book! Being a transformative principal is how we solve our teacher shortage. And I'm going to show you how to do recruit and hire amazing teachers. I've worked hard to include actionable advice for you here to make sure you can attract the top talent to your school and that they will want to stay there forever! But remember, they will come for the job but they will stay for the Vital Vision. Before we go any further, imagine for a moment what hiring process could look like in five years. In five years, you have very low turnover. It happens, but people want to stay at your school because it is such a great place. When there is turnover, and opportunities for new staff to come on board, you first make sure all your current people are in the correct places. Then, you get to take your pick from the people who you already know will be great at your school and invite them to join you. You have the perfect placement for them, and they already have friends at your school so you know they will be a good fit. Just imagine how powerful that would be for everyone. It's possible, and that's how transformative principals hire new staff. Why Fay School? - Well, they attract the kind of people that want to work in that environment.

This month, we are talking about Culture. If you are not part of the How2be coaching, I would love to have you join us. We focus on one aspect of how to be a transformative principal each month through a newsletter, a podcast episode, a webinar, and a coaching session. For more information, check out jethrojones.com/how2be. Today, we're talking about Culture, and I'm going to use an example of a basketball coach who is building culture. Now, we know that we play sports to win. obviously, that is the purpose, but many people will tell you there are so many more reasons for playing sports. Health, fitness, exercise, team building, perseverance, grit, and so much more! That is all well and good. IF it was all about winning, then we would have a lot of guys in the NFL say, “You know, I'm done with this, since we didn't win the super bowl.” Nobody hangs it up because they don't win the super bowl in a given year. As a side note, Eric Weddle was called out of retirement to play safety for the Los Angeles Rams this year. He played 13 seasons in the NFL for three different franchises, and didn't ever make it to the Super Bowl. But, he will be playing next week in that game for the first time in his 13 seasons and one bonus post-season. So, sports is about a lot more than winning. We know that, but we still focus on winning. My daughter is manager of the freshman basketball team. Her coach is teaching about a lot more than winning basketball games. ![[culture model.excalidraw]] Culture is about what we believe, act, and say. Let's examine each of these. Believe What do we believe? In the sports example with my daughter's basketball coach, he believes that all kids have value and something to contribute. He said 45 freshmen boys tried out for the team, and he could only keep 15, and even that is too much sometimes! (Although with COVID, it's been good to have a deep bench!) But, he has my daughter as the manager. When I ask him how he thinks the game went, he always says some things are coming together. In a couple weeks, I'll be talking with Lorea Martinez on this podcast about SEL and other things. One of the things we will talk about is that you cannot have thoughts without feelings. That applies here because what you belief will influence both your thoughts and your feelings. She also argues that we need to teach these skills explicitly. While that's a great idea, kids will learn so much more from what we model for them than what we explicitly teach. Coach Mike is teaching the kids what he believes As is often the case in basketball, tempers can flare, especially with missed calls and bad calls by the referees. Act How we act matters, and it sets the tone for the culture that we have. Coach Mike does yell sometimes, but because he believes that everyone can learn, he is patient and usually calm. By having my daughter as a manager, he is signaling to the boys, their families, other teams, and the school that someone with a disability can contribute. It's 2022! You'd think we wouldn't have to constantly emphasize that, but we do. A couple weeks ago a boy went home and told his mom (who later told us) “I think Katya (my daughter) is the most popular kid. She knows everyone and everyone says hi to her!” My daughter is naturally outgoing and social, and loves everyone, and this strength of hers is compounded because she has found community. One particularly tough game, our team was getting slaughtered. A parent said from the stands, “Try a different defense! This isn't working!” Coach Mike showed great humility in how he acted next. He nodded his head, and changed the defense the next time the other team had the ball. Mike modeled in that moment how to be coached himself. Inside, maybe he was fuming, maybe he was grateful. Regardless, he humbly acted how he should when someone pointed out what was obvious. I've seen coaches harangue their players when they do something wrong and then act incredibly defensive when someone criticizes them. In episode 470, coming out at the end of this month, Miriam Campbell touches on one of my favorite topics, which is teaching kids how to be adults. We are too shortsighted when we are preparing kids for the next grade level. That's a waste of time. We need to teach them how to be the kind of adults we want them to be. Do you remember the Anti-drug PSA from the 80s? I learned it from watching you dad! How we act improves or impedes our culture. How we act teaches more than whatever we may teach explicitly. The “Do as I say, not as I do” and “Rules for thee, but not for me” idioms really do matter. People see how we act, and judge our culture based on that. Say What comes out of our mouths betrays what we believe and further emphasizes how we act. You can't have awful things coming out of your mouth and think you'll have a good culture. We also need to be honest, though. A vital part of coaching is identifying what someone is doing wrong. When we correct someone, we do need to do it in a way that is clear and that they can understand. And it's not just about what we say, but also how we say it. Tracey Ezard, who's podcast episode is coming out next week calls this Ferocious Warmth. We need to go back and forth and dance between the two approaches, ferocious and warm. That doesn't mean we go to the extremes, but we need to balance ferocity with warmth. It can sometimes be challenging, but it is the job of a successful school leader. Bringing it all together So what does this look like all together? Let me close out the sports analogy with my daughter's basketball team. Towards the end of the season, Coach Mike told me that he had something special planned for my daughter and the other manager on the team. They were going to get a chance to play a visiting team. Not only did Mike make this happen, he also scheduled it so it would be before their other game, and let parents know they could come early to watch it! He gave the managers a jersey, and they warmed up with the boys. They set the clock for 10 minutes, and the kids played a game. This was a culmination because we saw how what Mike had believed, said, and how he acted played out. The kids played a game, patiently giving the managers opportunities to shoot, and when they made baskets, as they both did, the cheers rang through the gym. The power is that the kids. I saw how the culture of the team was playing out. Our team would go on to lose the game, but the kids won something more. Kindness, compassion, perseverance, patience, support, encouragement, and so much more. Your culture matters. It is made up of so much, but it starts with what you believe, what you say, and how you act. https://youtu.be/YnSAz8yCn70 Sponsors Transformative Principal Mastermind Lead a school everyone can be proud of.

To start out, a little review of highlights for the last year. We released 86 episodes on the podcast. Because I left being a principal, I had more time to produce content. And so I did 3 to four interviews per week! It's been great. We also broke 1,000,000 downloads total with more than 200,000 thousand just this year. I'd like to share some highlights from the top 5 episodes this year. Also, I'm doing things a bit differently this year. The mastermind is amazing, but many need an asynchronous option, so that's why I'm introducing something new today. It's called How To Be a Transformative Principal and it is all about providing support to principals to help them become transformative principals. This year, I'll be releasing a new book, in about a quarter, and it's called How to be a transformative principal. It's been a labor of love doing this podcast for the last several years, and I'm honored to have John Catt Publish this book, as well. They are a sponsor of this podcast, and I'm very grateful for them. I'll share the highlights from this year at the end of the podcast. First, I'd like to share some of my thinking around support, which is our theme for how2be this month. how2be is a new offering that I've created to help principals. Over the last five years, I've had a lot of people interested in the mastermind, but just couldn't make work because of the time commitment of the meetings, or because they weren't principals yet. The Mastermind is amazing for principals who have been in the position at least 3 years. I haven't had a way to support people who are assistant principals, aspiring principals, or principals in their first three years. This program is just for you. It teaches you how to be a transformative principal, based on the many things I've learned from doing 461 episodes of this podcast. Many have said they needed something asynchronous. So, that's what I'm offering. here's what you get as part of the How2Be a Transformative Principal program. The first week is a teaching newsletter that explains the theme, based on a monthly theme from my upcoming book. The second week is a coaching call with me about the same topic. The third week, you'll get a summary of the coaching call in your email, and if you join the tier that has an extra coaching call, you'll have another coaching call. Finally, during the fourth week, we'll have a webinar with an expert on the topic for that month. You get all of this for less than a hundred bucks a month. All of these events are exclusive to you as members. And there are some other bonuses I'm working as well. For example, a free copy of my book when it comes out later this year. Now, if you're listening to this podcast, but you haven't joined the mastermind, this is for you! You can learn more at jethrojones.com/how2be. ![[IMG_A9ED9DA6EDA8–1.jpeg]] Support The theme this month is support. Today, I'm going to talk about you getting support, and in the coaching calls this month, I'll take questions about you supporting teachers. Looking forward to having you join us! Today I want to talk about the three kinds of support that you can seek out. There are three sources of support, crowd-sourced, expert-sourced, professional-sourced. Picture these as a 3-circle Venn Diagram. Crowd-sourced support is what a PLN is and what this podcast is. It's something that you don't pay for but just search out. Expert-sourced is where you get support from an expert, and it probably costs you something, either in money or some exchange of value. Professional-sourced means that you are going to someone who is really going to focus specifically on you and help you be get the support you really need. Bathroom fan example Let's look at an example here to help it make sense: let's say you need to repair something in your house, like I did, a fan in the bathroom. First, I crowd-sourced it by looking up how to do it on youtube. Second, I asked my buddy Casey to help me, and he did, so I bought him dinner. What I should have done is hired someone to do it professionally, because it would have been done more effectively. My wife's example If I can make this a little more personal, I'd like to share my wife's story. A little over 10 years ago, my wife's mom tragically passed away. She got some help from me and her friends to help, but as you know grief hits in different ways. That was crowd-sourced support. So, after about 5 years, we realized she needed more help. So we got her an appointment with a counselor. (professional-sourced support). Then, after a few sessions, it was working. And she was doing much better. She didn't think she needed counseling like that anymore, but still thought she needed support. So, she turned to an expert-sourced support: a life coach. The life coach still costs money, but the value my wife is getting in dealing with past emotions is way more than the financial investment she is paying. Caveat I'm not here to say that a life coach is better than a therapist, but I am here to emphatically say that you need to choose what works best for you and how to get that. In some instances, crowd-sourced is the way to go. This podcast is an amazing resource. I tell people all the time you can get a PhD in ed leadership by listening to all 460+ episodes of this podcast. In other instances, you need more support and it's worth it to invest something in it. Sometimes you need a little more support, so you find an expert. That's what the How2be program is for: It's an expert source to help you learn how to be a transformative principal. Finally, maybe you need the mastermind or 1 on 1 coaching for you. investment Whatever kind of support you end up going with, you have to invest in that support. Support is not you finding someone to solve your problem for you. It is getting help to solve your own problem. Sometimes that investment is low, as it is in PLNs, blogs, podcasts, youtube videos, and books. Sometimes it is higher, as in life coaches, conferences, and courses. Finally, sometimes you need to invest more like in 1 to 1 coaching, masterminds, or or more. I intentionally offer something for everyone. How long have you been listening to this podcast? Has it been a good level of support for you? If you're listening today, I'm going to say that answer is yes. Could you benefit from more support?

Liz Wiseman is a researcher and executive advisor who teaches leadership to executives around the world.  She is the author of New York Times bestseller Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, The Multiplier Effect: Tapping the Genius Inside Our Schools, and Wall Street Journal bestseller Rookie Smarts: Why Learning Beats Knowing in the New Game of Work. and most recently, [[Impact Players]]: How to Take the Lead, Play Bigger, and Multiply Your Impact She is the CEO of the Wiseman Group, a leadership research and development firm headquartered in Silicon Valley, California.  Some of her recent clients include: Apple, AT&T, Disney, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Nike, Salesforce, Tesla, and Twitter.  Liz has been listed on the Thinkers50 ranking and in 2019 was recognized as the top leadership thinker in the world. In every organization there are Impact Players – those indispensable colleagues who can be counted on in critical situations and who consistently receive high-profile assignments and new opportunities.  Whether they are on center stage or behind the scenes, managers know who these top players are, understand their worth, and want more of them on their team.  While their impact is obvious, it's not always clear what actually makes these professionals different from their peers. In Impact Players, New York Times bestselling author and researcher Liz Wiseman reveals the secrets of these stellar professionals who play the game at a higher level.  Drawing on insights from leaders at top companies, Wiseman explains what the most influential players are doing differently, how small and seemingly insignificant differences in how we think and act can make an enormous impact, and why–with a little coaching–this mindset is available to everyone who wants to contribute at their highest level and do more meaningful work. Based on a study of 170 top contributors, Wiseman identifies the mindsets that prevent otherwise smart, capable people from contributing to their full potential and the five practices that differentiate Impact Players: • While others do their job, Impact Players figure out the real job to be done. • While others wait for direction, Impact Players step up and lead. • While others escalate problems, Impact Players move things across the finish line. • While others attempt to minimize change, Impact Players are learning and adapting to change. • While others add to the load, Impact Players make heavy demands feel lighter. Wiseman makes clear that these practices—and the right mindset—can help any employee contribute at their fullest and shows leaders how they can raise the level of play for everyone on the team.  Impact Players is your playbook for the new workplace. Impact Players - a term borrowed from the sports world. How do you measure value of impact players. High impact, contributing, but playing below their potential. Impact player brings 3.5 greater than someone doing their job well. Work was so much better, people were doing the right kind of work! Mindset that people move in and out of. Some people who inhabit this mindset and some that never do. It rises above environment, leadership and culture. A lot of parts of being an impact player you can't coach.
