How can administrators help teachers avoid burnout? In their new book, Jill Handley and Lara Donnelly explore the importance of a master schedule in providing teachers with time to plan. 🕰️

Designing a Master Schedule to Support All Teachers
Careful scheduling that takes into account the needs of teachers across grade levels can maximize the amount of time they have to plan.

A4: I get to coach facilitation of strength focused instructional rounds in a school I am working with this year. It’s my FAVORITE work! #leadlap #leadWithRounds
Forgot my #leadlap hashtag
Q4: Last question! What are you looking forward to this week?

A1: I had the opportunity to spend a day coaching collaborative teams about productive data use with instructional coaches doing a fishbowl observation. The energy and enthusiasm from the coaches was incredible. One of those days you feel like you made a difference #LeadLap

I had the GREAT PRIVILEGE to coach the facilitation of strength-focused rounds in two Grosse Ile schools today. Each educator possesses strong practices we identify and connect to best practice and impact on learning. This is truly the right work! #LeadWithRounds @burgessdave.bsky.social

Here are a few pics of the team I worked with today.

I pushed them into discomfort using role plays of data meetings and team conflict. We grow more when we reject artificial harmony and press into healthy conflict. This school is ready to apply to be a Model PLC School! #PLCatWork

A4: I had a daily (quick) check in with my school social worker and my instructional coach. Also, I had a daily alarm set for 9:30 am. If I was sitting at my desk when it went off, I would get up and take a walk through the school. #LeadLAP

A3: We deleted having students meet criteria to attend school-wide celebrations for behavior. We shifted to celebrations being about our community and everyone was included. #LeadLAP

A2: A guiding coalition was my most important asset in leading. But when I had a short term project, goal, or need - I would ask people to join a “task force” for that project. For example, I had a task force take on lunch coach training when we got a new group of lunch coaches. #LeadLAP

A1: 1)Distributed Leadership - have a guiding coalition that meets regularly and leads with you. The job is not meant to do alone. 2) Instructional Rounds - derivative and grow practice together from the strengths of your people. #LeadLap #LeadWithRounds
Here we go! Q1 has dropped! #leadlap
