In all my years of leading professional development and training, this resonates strongly with me. My experience has been that, like students, adults want to have practical applications in their learning. Let's not just "talk at them" but engage them in a way that meets their needs. #adulteducation #adultlearning #professionaldevelopment #learning #leadership https://lnkd.in/eQiynYj8

School Leaders, would you like to give your educators training on an instructional strategy that will boost the communication and differentiation happening in their classrooms, one that will be applicable to ANY GRADE LEVEL or SUBJECT and will engage students in meaningful discussions? The name of this powerful tool is Hexagonal Thinking. It can be done with or without technology, and once your educators learn about it they can use it in their classrooms the very next day. My 3 hour PD, "Harnessing Hexagons," is the most popular session I offer. Why? Because it is engaging and useful for any educator who attends. Whether they are classroom teachers, electives/specials teachers, or librarians, I guarantee they will leave this PD with at least one idea to take their teaching to the next level. A San Antonio educator with 29 years of experience in the classroom, and a TEA approved CPE provider, I am devoted to nurturing creativity and critical thinking in EVERY learner. I have plenty of other workshops if "Harnessing Hexagons" doesn't seem like the right fit. We all know there are limited opportunities to offer quality PD time and booking me for this summer or the '24-'25 school year is more likely if you can get on my calendar now. You can see a list of some of my past PD's here: https://lnkd.in/g796wpJs Or contact me directly to customize your own at terrieichholz@engagetheirminds.com #SchoolLeaders #SchoolLeadership #Education #ProfessionalDevelopment

People often ask, “how did you find success in your classroom?” and after much thought, I realize that it’s a superpower- one that every teacher can obtain. It’s the power of metacognition! I started to see drastic success in my classroom when I became aware of my own thinking process when planning instruction for my students. It is how all of my students experienced some type of academic growth and how my classes would amass an average pass rate of 92% on the state standardized assessment, even during a pandemic. And these weren't "honors" kids y'all! When we start thinking about our thinking, we deliver clear instruction to our clients: our students. Are you a school or district leader ready to transform instruction in your schools? I can help!

Want to maximize teachers’ professional growth? Quality pedagogy and training structures are not enough to guarantee the development you are looking for. In fact, sometimes the efforts of educational leaders to support teacher professional growth actually results in frustration, disgruntlement, stress, and low morale among staff. So why aren’t best practices in professional development working? When teachers’ mindsets are not open or receptive to learning, then the content and delivery of the training is meaningless. Read the blog to learn my five key principles to inspire a mindset that leads to teacher professional growth: https://lnkd.in/d3Hx9bdV #ProfessionalGrowth #GrowingTeacher #TeacherBlog

Teacher-Driven CPD? Here’s an idea … Ever wondered about a whole-school CPD that involves deep discussion and sharing by teachers but that also creates long-term tangible change in teaching practice? CPD that is engaging and empowering for teachers? Here’s an idea …  How about collaborating on a bespoke CPD around a pedagogical theme of your choice - differentiation, student voice, relevance, curiosity, diversity, student collaboration, (whatever you choose) - a CPD that draws on the ideal practices of your best leaders and teachers, one that places your leaders in the driver’s seat, one that requires all teachers to implement strategies on a regular and ongoing basis? Sound interesting? Let us know in the comments so we can explore the possibilities … #TeacherLedCPD #StudentEmpowerment #CollaborativeLearning

This is the beginning of the 6th year of my deep-dive learning journey about the SoR, outside of the public school system. What I’ve learned is that my desire to know more about the HOW of reading has been critical to my own personal journey. What I can emphatically say is that educators need MORE from their leaders and district heads. Throwing trainings and resources at educators without giving them the additional support to understand HOW to best use those resources and training is NOT helpful. What supports remain AFTER those trainings? What understandings and support remain once those resources are in hand? What knowledge REMAINS to support changing PRACTICES? What’s currently happening is NOT enough. What leaders know about this shift to the SoR is CRITICAL. That will determine the commitment that educators receive. That commitment from leadership IS necessary before true change will happen. That means that students will NOT benefit from this shift until LEADERS fully commit to understanding the SoR and what it means for teachers AND students. Teachers NEED to understand deeper. That knowledge will give them the skills that will help students BEYOND the training and resources they are given. That’s just my two cents, as a former classroom teacher turned private tutor and facilitator. #designed2teach #theydeservebetter #educatorsneedmoresupport

🌟✨ Attention, educational leaders! When it comes to choosing a consultant for your school, experience matters – and here's why: 1️⃣ Insider Insight: Experienced educators bring invaluable firsthand knowledge of the classroom environment, school culture, and educational systems. They understand the challenges and opportunities facing educators today, allowing them to provide practical, relevant solutions tailored to your school's unique needs. 2️⃣ Pedagogical Expertise: Education is more than just theory – it's about understanding how students learn and thrive.

They understand the demands placed on educators and can offer compassionate support and guidance that resonates with teachers and school staff. 4️⃣ Credibility and Trust: When you choose an experienced educator as a consultant, you're investing in credibility and trust. Educators trust their peers who have walked the same path and understand the realities of the classroom. This trust forms the foundation of a strong partnership built on mutual respect and understanding. 5️⃣ Practical Solutions: Experienced educators don't just offer theoretical solutions – they provide practical, actionable strategies that work in real classrooms. Their insights are grounded in practical experience, ensuring that recommendations are realistic, feasible, and effective in driving positive change. 🚀 Ready to elevate your school's success with the guidance of an experienced educator?
