Self-regulated learning is an essential skill that empowers our students to take control of their learning journey and thrive in a rapidly changing world. Teaching this in schools now will have an immeasurable impact on the future of our students & our world - here's why👇🏾

This week's sketch: The Inquiry Process as a guide to shape inquiry planning.
I love seeing inquiry walls that utilize this image to help evidence and document the learning journey.

I love this quote and think it can be translated into different contexts - If each teacher would teach their classes even just one strategy, then we would be closer to a generation of young people who could self-regulate their learning.

A simple indicator of how powerfully a teacher is engaging in inquiry: count how many times you confer with students in a given day.
Conferring is coaching & facilitating.
The more we talk with students, the more we learn from them.
The more we confer, the more agency thrives.

Great video from @ASCD with lots of great examples for interactive focus walls that empower students. Love the explicit teaching of Levels of Engagement w/ students so they can own where they are & know we all move through all the levels. ascd.org/videos/show-and-tel…

#1: Instructional leadership is not about improving teachers; it’s about creating the conditions where teachers can improve themselves. Instructional leadership is not about BEING an expert... it’s cultivating the expertise in your (school), creating a culture of collaboration...
