The New Normal For Classroom Instruction

Today’s teacher is expected to cover more content, at higher rigor, with significantly more student success (in terms of both height and scale) than ever before in the history of our profession.  This is a new model of teacher craft.  A model that none of us in school administration implemented consistently (if at all).

So if you are an instructional leader, QUIT talking about how YOU taught. It is no longer relevant to the discussion. Recognize this and work to coach your staff in the building of the new skills required to meet the new required instructional normal. Or you could always go back to the classroom to model how you believe it should be done.

Think. Work. Achieve.
