We’re now in a new era. I call it the era of overwhelm🤯.
Working to strengthen teaching and learning across your school, network or district in this new era? There’s one action to consider.
To understand it – I need to chat about my first book, Unleash Learning – a book that focused on highly effective teaching strategies.
Leaders bought it for their schools. New and experienced educators told me they loved the book. It sold over 4,000 copies.
Today the book is an important part of the Unleash Learning library.
While I’m proud of this book, I wouldn’t write it as a stand-alone book today. In fact, we don’t sell it that way anymore.
Why?
Because in the era of overwhelm 🤯 focusing just on teaching strategies, even if they’re effective, can add to people’s mental load 😰.
Want to strengthen teaching and learning across your school?
In the era of overwhelm, rather than focus on teaching strategies – embed the right teaching & learning structure around your school. Once in place it can:
- Get to the crux of everyone’s thinking
- Help the school optimise everything it does
- Create a common language with shared definitions
- Support long-term student learning that lasts.
The result?
You’ll advance teaching and learning and lower your team’s stress and mental load in the process.
Cheering you on!
