Keep it Coming: Why Constructive Criticism Matters
Recently we have seen discussions about our work emerge online and via social media. What began as singular accounting of our work from one former teacher has evolved into a broader discussion about how best to support teachers. Or, at least, I hope it evolves to that level.

Others Mock What They Don’t Understand
I started to reflect on my journey over the past three years with CT3, Real Time Teacher Coaching® and the implementation of the No-Nonsense Nurturer® techniques.

Culture, Coaching and Heart
A 2014 Memo… Culture is everything. It is the fabric that either holds your organization together in order to achieve the mission, or simply put – destroys it.
