Two amazing days with Supt @DrTGrover & the entire @CRSCHOOLS central office instructional leadership team. We worked on their Destination Vision for Instruction & walked classrooms with our research-proven metrics. All part of @IE_empower's Leading to Your Why Workshop series.
My book with David Sousa - The Power of Student Teams - was recently cited in an @edutopia article by high school teacher @MrsSaid17.
Sarah is seeing great results with her students!

In @edutopia's recent article, @MrsSaid17 references @MTothAuthor's “The Power of Student Teams,” to highlight the experience of creating a classroom environment that encourages students to collaborate in rigorous, standards-based tasks.

Student behavior is inseparably linked to the classroom learning environment.
The @hechingerreport and @USATODAY quoted our founder @MTothAuthor and recognized our partner district @sdu46 in a recent article.
Are your instructional systems designed for rigor and student agency?
Agile is essential to improving systems in school and integrated into @IE_empower's school advancement model. I'm spending the week at the Agile 2023 Conference and keeping my multiple agile certifications including ScrumMaster current. #Agile2023 #EdLeadership #EdReform
Leaders need to be learners. Happy to be a learner at the Agile 2023 Conference with my friend and colleague, Instructional Empowerment leadership coach Kim Harris. #agile2023 @IE_empower
So proud to have a small part in the training of such a wonderful group of educators who are on fire to change the world! 🔥
Welcome to Instructional Empowerment! @IE_empower
I'd like to honor our great partners at @sdu46, led by @sUz46johnson and her wonderful team. They were mentioned in the @hechingerreport today. I've personally visited our partner schools at U-46. Educators and students are doing incredible work!

All students are capable of building the skills to self-direct their learning and behavior. Students will invest discretionary effort when the classroom environment is designed for these outcomes.

Excited to welcome our new faculty and be part of their onboarding process! They are a dedicated group of education experts, and I look forward to the impact they will make in coaching our partner schools after they complete their deep training and certification. @IE_empower
I was honored to present the IE Excellence Award to Principal Lisa Fye and AP Shannon Cole from Crete Intermediate School! They are one of our many outstanding partner schools and received a national recognition as an ESEA Distinguished School.

#BE2023 Day 2: This cycle of repetitive practice does not allow our students to learn at higher taxonomy levels. How can we continue to improve the way we teach so students engage in productive struggle that stimulates their cerebral cortext? @IE_empower
Educators are architects for accelerated brain development. Thank you to everyone who attended my keynote this morning at the Building Expertise Educators' Conference and came to my book signing afterward. I was honored and grateful for your kind words! #BE2023 @IE_empower

The teacher must engineer the collaborative structures and environment for students to independently think critically and respectfully question each other’s thinking. -@MTothAuthor #BE2023
Love this mind map that an attendee created based on my keynote at the Building Expertise Educators' Conference. Super creative - thank you so much for sharing! #BE2023 @IE_empower

Inspiring quote from Leslie Frick’s #BE2023 session: “What we learn today doesn’t make yesterday wrong; it makes tomorrow better.” What learning are you doing today to make tomorrow better?
