Just let me teach.
Educators are swamped with the demands of testing, accountability, behavior management, grading, lesson planning and delivering data-driven, evidence-based instruction. The list goes on and on, and the demands have multiplied exponentially in the years since the Covid-19 pandemic.
Every time we turn around there’s a new initiative, a new program, or a new assessment that we are required to do. It’s hard to learn something new when we’ve barely had time to practice the “something old.”
We know our teaching lives are easier when we can weed through all the distractions and just teach our students.
That’s where we are meant to be.
We can get there by:
- Focusing our actions on a handful of powerful practices.
- Turning those powerful practices into habits.
The rest is just overwhelm.
Hi, I’m Brad! I am a teacher’s teacher helping educators overcome the overwhelm.
I sort through the distractions and break down the complexity of curriculum and instruction into clear action steps that are focused and repeatable.
I then share these action steps and help teachers turn these action steps into habits through professional development and coaching.
I’ve worked with hundreds of teachers at different levels, serving different populations and in different capacities for over twenty years.
I believe teachers should have agency to make decisions for what is right for them and their students.
I believe that at the end of the day, teachers want to teach students.
It starts by helping teachers find their focus and turning it into a habit.
Think about it. Where are you focused?
Where do you want to be focused?
If you are interested in finding your focus or turning powerful practices into habits, find out about my training, coaching, or consulting here.
In the past few years, I’ve been helping teachers become more capable and confident by understanding how to scientifically study words with students. If you’d like to find out more about that work, click here.
