Wishing you a great and productive start to the school year! What sort of classroom and school communities are you hoping to build?
Building relationships with families early in the school year helps teachers create a strong classroom community.
What tools do the standout teachers and leaders in your districts and schools share?
Great leaders draw out the best from the individuals on their team and allow them to reach their fullest potential, much like teachers.
The students of today are the leaders or tomorrow; living with integrity becomes a way of life!
Educators can help students reflect on right and wrong and act in line with their values.
Wishing you all a happy and healthy new year!
Continuous feedback is so important in helping schools improve!
The way to do it, says researcher Robert Balfanz, is to dig beneath the averages to find real solutions to schools' thorny problems.
As schools prepare for another school year full of opportunities, challenges, and uncertainties, listening remains paramount!
Clearly define and articulate your values and find ways to bring people together are two ways principals and assistant principals can help.

There is great value in "learning-sized" mistakes!

Here are a few ways educators can create a connection from afar!
There is light at the end of our long tunnel of social isolation, but teachers still need to focus on students’ sense of connection to their peers and school community.
Happy Valentine’s Day!
Promoting relationships and a positive mindset toward learning has a bigger impact on students’ long-term success than raising test scores, new research shows.

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving; we are thankful for all of our families, friends and colleagues!

Administrators in Comsewogue Public Schools (Long Island, NY) not only talk the talk, but walk the walk when it comes to supporting their teachers. Here they are working through a Problem-Based Learning activity led by EES so that they can get comfortable with the methodology in the trainings EES provides to this district's teachers.
Dr. Steve Edwards shares his thoughts with Education World on education in the competitive global labor market: "To prepare the future workforce, one that can compete on the world’s stage, the scale of necessary change cannot be underestimated. The quality and kind of school education offered will make all the difference."
The real challenge for today’s schools is to prepare students to thrive in a competitive global labor market after completing their education; to achieve community harmony on a global scale; and to promote cultural diversity and the value of universal citizenship in a global community.
