                While we focus extensively on academic transitions and procedural orientations, we often miss the profound emotional work that September demands of young adolescents. Instead of viewing these early we...
            
        
    
    
            "Instead of viewing these early weeks as simply 'settling in,' what if we approached them as a 'Transition Surge' โ a deliberate period of connection-building for students of all grades that transforms anxiety into belonging?"

                                            โWe believe that evenโperhaps especiallyโin a digital age, books create a critical experience that can be created through no other means. Ensuring that students read booksโexcellent books, whole books, together in groups, often aloud to maximize the sense of connection they createโwill maximize the chances that they become better readers, more knowledgeable students, and that they come to love and value reading.โ โDoug Lemov, Colleen Driggs, & Erica Woolway, of Teach Like a Champion

                Helping School Leaders Embrace a Peer Coaching Plan
                Administrators get a lot of benefit from taking time to reflect together, exchange strategies, and support one another.
            
        
    
    
            โPeer coaching encourages a more empathetic and responsive leadership style, and serves as a powerful antidote to the perception that the further leaders move away from the classroom, the more disconnected they become,โ Rachel Menta writes in her first article for Edutopia.

            "Fictional comic supervillain Lex Luther once became President and was given a $200 million dollar luxury jet as a bribe. In the story, he was arrested by Metropolis police and imprisoned for 25 years. American justice is the real fiction."
