Understanding and correcting one's mistakes offers critical learning, but getting there can be tricky, particularly in a context that traditionally views mistakes as failure. The classroom environment must foster conditions in which students can view them as learning opportunities... more

Learning from Women Who Lead

By Kim Cofino

We often view our leaders as having carefully crafted their careers from the outset. But there are as many paths to leadership as there are leaders. Each journey is unique, and as polished and successful as we perceive women in leadership roles to be, they didn't all start out that way.... more

By David Willows

When Amanda Gorman stood at the podium on the Capitol steps a couple of weeks ago and recited her poem for the new president, the world was once again offered a lesson on why words do matter after all... more

By Matt Piercy

I am beginning to think it best to begin each lesson or unit plan with an overt intention to lead and not manage. Similar to coaching. To allow students to genuinely take a front seat to their learning. If not in the driver's seat, at least to sit shotgun. Far too much chauffeuring of backseat passive non-learners has grown to be the default modus operandi... more
By Mike Simpson

The International School of Yangon is the first school I have worked in that has a performance culture in which everyone is focused on getting better than they are now. Given that I have only ever worked in good schools, that statement might rub a few ex-colleagues the wrong way. But the reality is that for everyone to be focused on getting better than they are now, everyone needs to accept that they have a performance gap.... more
WORTH A GLANCE
By Daniel Kerr

So if you know me really well, or even if you know me just a little bit, you know that I'm a hugger, and the most difficult thing about this pandemic for me is that I can't hug anyone!
