The Redress of Teaching What Teaching is Supposed to Do

To be the best teacher I can, I look for ways to restore balance in my classroom, teach in ways that protest the restrictions I face, and protect my studentsโ€™ humanity. #TeacherSky #EduSky #SubstackSky

From letmeknowhowitgoes on IG: โ€œPlayed around with a little something today.

Yesterday, I was talking to teachers about how we might help students to notice when they are distracted and name the distraction as a way to mindfully pivot. I played around with this student-facing chart today.โ€

Power of Pause in Coaching: Let Teachers Reflect and Grow Learn how teacher reflection boosts growth. Discover how M2 gives space for learning without extra time demands.

We canโ€™t always be in the room - But M2 can.

M2 quietly collects bite-sized feedback on key teaching practices - engagement, questioning, & pacing, without requiring a full, formal observation.

It's an extra set of eyes, observing so teachers can review on their own time. #EduSky

It is really really difficult right now to focus on the learning/classroom with all else going on in education that is absolutely disgusting in terms of the short-term and long-term consequences for children.

Thereโ€™s a coaching truth we rarely say out loud: time is tight.

How do we create space for teachers to think, process, and grow โ€” when we barely have space ourselves?

Thatโ€™s where tools like M2 change the game. ๐Ÿง‘โ€๐Ÿซ #EduSky
