Importance of Principal’s Feedback

“Unfortunately, in Ireland, principals have not shown a high level of involvement in the professional growth of teachers. A survey of teachers in Ireland reported that 43% never received feedback from their principal (OCED 2010)…lack of engagement [due to lack of feedback from principals] may indirectly signal to teachers that continual reflection and growth in daily practice are not significant to principals. Building positive relationships with constructive feedback and praise can positively affect teachers’ self-efficacy, as indicated in the Teaching and Learning International Survey (OECD 2010). Principals should send the message to teachers that sustained learning is necessary, motivate teachers to engage with Continuous Professional Development (CPD), and value teachers’ professional growth. Ensuring teachers are empowered to learn and grow as professionals is key to successful curriculum reform.” ~Porcenaluk, O’Neachtain & Connolly, 2023

“The path to differentiation begins with intensely understanding your target audience.” ~Saythi V., as seen on LinkedIn

 

Differentiation 4 Components

Differentiation strategies have a positive effect when frequently used and combined with teacher structure and students’ motivation (Guay, et al., 2017).

Weekend Ed. Quote ~ August 11

“To listen to archival silences is to attend consciously and carefully to what is not there and to be receptive to whispers that come around and through a formal archive, whispers that fill the silences with stories.” ~ Kara W. Swanson, 2022

*Footnote by Swanson~ “The metaphor of archival “silences” is a common means of acknowledging those whose experiences are not found in archives or are only recorded indirectly by others, an ongoing methodological challenge, particularly for historians of marginalized peoples.”

https://archivefutures.com/2013/07/12/welcome/

https://archivefutures.com/2013/07/12/welcome/

“The absence of these voices and insights is what is described as an ‘archival silence’ –defined as ‘the unintentional or purposeful absence or distortion of documentation of enduring value, resulting in gaps and inabilities to represent the past accurately.’” ~ Kaitlin Smith, 2021

“There is a concept in the field of archiving under which the struggles of the Indigenous peoples (IPs) fall – ‘archival silences.’ It is defined as the omission or distortion, intentional or not, of the documentation of anything that has enduring value, leading to gaps in depicting the past.'” ~ Kim Balasabas, JJ MercadoCammylle Beltran, 2022

Weekend Ed. Quote ~ August 4

“While villages are needed for raising children, perhaps we can say they are needed for anyone’s education and development, regardless of age. The innovators highlighted in this series were part of broader networks or villages, which included family, friends, supportive communities, and teachers and mentors. Through the inspiration and support of their villages, these innovators constructed new innovations to empower others. But there is a duality to social constructionism: through their work, these innovators also enacted social change for their villages and those around them–whether this was by using technology to create more enjoyable and relatable learning experiences, to help the unknowingly needy, to empower individuals to become literate in math and then teach it to others, or to connect members of their village to one another. While the work and legacy of these individuals may have been forgotten in the field of educational technology, they live on in the villages that have been touched by them.”
~Shayan Doroudi, 2023, p. 14

“In our eagerness tohonor [Blackinnovators], too often we privilege their inventions over their humanity. Imagine how much more we might gain from knowing them as fully realized individuals, not just as the sum of their inventions.” ~ Ezelle Sanford, 2020.

Weekend Ed. Quote ~ July 21

Girl By Tree“Productive struggle is what I call the “sweet spot” in between scaffolding and support. Rather than immediately helping students at the first sign of trouble, we should allow them to work through struggles independently before we offer assistance. That may sound counterintuitive, since many of us assume that helping students learn means protecting them from negative feelings of frustration. But for students to become independent learners, they must learn to persist in the face of challenge.” ~Barbara Blackburn

 

Wondering… Considering the variety of options for differentiation…Is productive struggle a type of differentiation?

Weekend Ed. Quote ~ July 14

“These two or three weeks have been filled with positives. I didn’t win today. I’m disappointed about it. It’s unfortunate for me. But I think I showed a lot of positive signs that I can take moving forward, so I’m okay with that. It’s a game style that I’ve had since I really started playing tennis at a high level, starting as a teenager, I kind of went for my shots. I’m okay with living and dying by the mistakes.”
~American Pro Tennis Player Chris Eubanks. Eubanks played on the Georgia Tech tennis team and tried to qualify for the Wimbledon tennis tournament for four years. This year, he earned his spot on the 2023 tournament roster. 

Listen as Eubanks describes the value of consistent, small routines~
