AUTHOR S P O T L I G H T
S P O T L I G H T
Featuring Tim Brown and William M. Ferriter
Q: Why was this book important to write? In 2017, educational researcher Deborah Feldman made a surprising discovery while studying patterns in students who leave school without a diploma: Dropouts can oftentimes track their decision to give up on school back to a single moment that “undermined their faith in themselves as learners” (as cited in Long, 2017).
That is a heartbreaking reality. Our job as educators isn’t just to teach students curriculum. Our job as educators is to ensure that every student believes in their ability to learn. If after reading this book, a team of teachers reinvests in their commitment to building the academic confidence of students who feel helpless in school, they will have changed lives for the better.
Q: What insights can educators expect? Educators in Professional Learning Communities at Work® know that an essential first step for any collaborative team is to identify the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that we want students to master during the time that they are in our care. Fundamentally, this is a book focused on dispositions.
Readers will gain insight into how student-centered versions of the four critical questions of learning in the PLC at Work process can be used to develop confidence, ownership, and high self-efficacy in every learner.
Q: How can school leaders help improve student engagement? The most important step that school leaders can take to improve student engagement in their building is to have a firm understanding of the research on the topic. This book not only cites and reinforces research done by recognized
experts like Albert Bandura, Dylan Wiliam, John Hattie, Rick Stiggins, Jan Chappuis, Carol Dweck and Yvette Jackson, but also translates that research into practices that collaborative teams can begin using in their classrooms immediately.
Q: What’s one key takeaway from this book? A key takeaway from this book is that while the four pillars of the PLC at Work process—mission, vision, values, and goals— and the four critical questions of learning are powerful tools for building a culture of learning in the faculty of any school, they become even more powerful when we look at them through the lens of our students. Our position is that schools
can have a profound impact on their communities when collaborative teacher teams turn the professional efficacybuilding practices that they have already embraced into instructional strategies that can move students forward as capable, competent learners.

Success Story
Lake County Schools
MODEL DISTRICT
LAKE COUNTY, FLORIDA
DEMOGRAPHICS
› 36,829 students › 42 campuses › 100% Economically disadvantaged › 4% English learners › 18% Special education › 15.5% African American › 26.9% Hispanic › 0.5% American Indian or Alaska Native
› 2.7% Asian › 4.1% Multiracial › 48.8% White › 1.5% Other Lake County Schools is the 19th largest public school district in the state of Florida. The 2018 population of Lake County, Florida, was estimated to be more than 342,000, with a growth rate of 3.16% in the past year according to the most recent United States census data. Lake County has ranked among the top 10 fastest-growing counties in Florida.
CHALLENGE As a struggling school district that ranked 47th out of 67 school districts in student achievement statewide, the message to Lake County Schools staff was clear. The goal of the new leadership was to end the educational lottery among schools and create a school system that guaranteed learning at high levels for all students.
IMPLEMENTATION Collaboration in the school system begins with the superintendent and has a continuous through-line to the student level. The assistant superintendent oversees all departments regarding teaching, learning, and leadership and has an expectation that collaboration occurs weekly within each department and monthly among various departments. Time for collaboration at the school level has been in place for several years. Over the last few years, the district has provided support through the use of district program specialists and school based literacy coaches to ensure this collaborative time is spent focused on the four questions to ensure teacher and student success. Understanding that learning occurs at different rates, the focus on intervention and acceleration during the school day became crucial. Time was built into the school day and became an expectation for all schools. Master schedules were changed and every school provided time for intervention and acceleration in addition to just-in-time support during core instruction.

After four years, the PLC at Work® process is the way of work in Lake County Schools. Systems and structures are in place supporting weekly collaboration across the district. Teacher collaborative teams rely on these systems to provide the highly effective instruction all students deserve. The results of this hard work and commitment are visible and a testament to educators on every campus that this is the right work. In just three years of implementation, the Lake County Schools state ranking in graduation rate rose from 50th to 22nd. The district is proud to have raised their graduation rate from 78% to 90%, and they have confidence in the processes they have in place to bring them to 100% of students graduating.
The PLC process has also made a difference in learning loss experienced due to school shutdown during the pandemic. “We were able to quickly identify essential standards for virtual learning lessons across the district, reducing our learning loss as compared to the state,” says Emily Feltner, Lake County assistant superintendent for teaching, learning, and leadership.

“As we continually strive to improve, we know these practices have become beliefs,” Feltner continues. “This common vision for learning, the focus on results, and the work of collaborative teams have aligned expectations and provided a guaranteed and viable curriculum that ensures equitable experiences and high levels of learning for all students across schools.”

Though the speakers and breakout sessions challenged us to shed bad practices and gave us the tools to embrace new ones, it was never done in a way that shamed us along our journey. Instead, it empowered us with the tools necessary to go back and begin to shift our focus from teaching to learning.” —Nicholas Martin, teacher, Mirage Elementary School, Arizona

AUTHOR S P O T L I G H T

Featuring Anthony Muhammad and Luis F. Cruz
Q: What is the focus of your book, Time for Change? We really wanted to offer practical insight and solutions to the most common obstacles that leaders face in creating a healthy school culture. Readers are introduced to two forms of staff resistance: rational and irrational. Rational resistance is the natural by-product of exposure to poorly derived leadership decisions. Irrational resistance occurs when an educator simply does not want to change based
on personal preference. We reveal strategies to overcome both types of dilemmas. After reading the book, administrators and teachers alike will be better equipped to engage with other professionals to collectively embrace change in policies, practices, and procedures designed to increase learning for all students.
Q: What inspired you to write this book? We have had the honor of serving educators all over the world. After introducing audiences to effective practices, like establishing a strong professional learning community (PLC) or redesigning their school to respond to struggling learners (Response to Intervention/Multitiered System of
Supports), the most frequent question asked by educators has been “How do we get our staff to buy into these practices?” This burning question led us to collaborate on researching and sharing tools that would allow leaders to tactfully and effectively confront adult resistance.
Q: How does it contribute to the core mission and vision of Transforming School Culture? Our book is a continuation of the mission introduced in Transforming School Culture. Children deserve a school where the behaviors of the adult professionals are aligned with their needs. While Transforming School Culture focused on the reasons why resistance occurs and the importance of
Q: What specific challenges will Time for Change help educators overcome? The most essential benefit for the reader will be the demystifying of the change process. We understand that educational professionals are sincere, but sincerity alone is not enough to be truly effective. We will provide the evidence that proves that four important leadership behaviors can totally transform a school culture when used properly.
building a healthy school culture, this book will focus on the leadership behaviors that help to transition a school culture from toxic to healthy. This book is essentially an extension of chapter seven of Transforming School Culture, which introduced the reader to the influence of leadership.

There are few things more frustrating than working hard and using the wrong tools.

IMPLEMENTATION General and special education leaders embarked on a search for proven, research-based practices. A team of four district-level leaders attended the Response to Intervention (RTI) at Work™ Institute in Dallas where the Professional Learning Communities (PLC) at Work® and RTI at Work processes were united. A new vision of effectively operating as a learning organization began to emerge. “We had a lot of learning to do,” says Dr. Kim Nichols, assistant superintendent of Catoosa County Public Schools. Changes began immediately. Administrator and academic coach meetings were redesigned to focus on building capacity among school and district leaders. Learning about the PLC at Work process of improving student achievement became a priority. Due to the problem of over-identifying students for special education services, school and district leaders were also required to quickly learn more about effective RTI practices. Catoosa County Public Schools decided to move away from the traditional RTI model in favor of the RTI at Work process. District and school leaders spent the next year studying and discussing effective PLC and RTI practices through collaborative book studies. A districtwide focus on the four guiding PLC questions became the driving force behind making changes. Emphasis on learning instead of teaching became the new filter.
RESULTS Catoosa County Public Schools was named a Model PLC at Work District in 2020 and 12 of its 16 schools have been named Model PLC at Work Schools. The district has also received numerous awards, and its schools have been recognized for their significant gains in student achievement.

According to Dr. Nichols, the district’s shift from a focus on teaching to a focus on learning—for students and staff—has been critical to its success. “From a district perspective, you have to be that lead learner,” advises Dr. Nichols. “You have to start with yourself. If you want to have an impact and see things in your district operate differently, then you have to be the lead learner. You have to put the time in to learn, and you cannot let up. You never get to stop learning.”

S P O T L I G H T Featuring John Hannigan, Jessica Djabrayan Hannigan, Austin Buffum, and Mike Mattos
Q: What challenges were you seeing in schools that motivated you to write this book? A school’s mindset to support students who struggle to learn is different from when students struggle to behave. For instance, when a student struggles with reading, educators generally respond with compassion and are ready to do whatever it takes to support that student and close the gap. But when a student struggles with behavior, the response is usually one of frustration.
We’ve also seen an increase in mental health needs and social-emotional needs in schools over time. With this book, our goal is to give educators the know-how to fully support students in the same way behaviorally as they do academically.
Q: How does this book specifically help educators address these challenges? Very few actions are ever taken to actually teach the children the behaviors that we want them to demonstrate. Historically, we’ve just tried to scare students into better performance. But we know that exclusionary practices, such as detention or withholding recess, do not work. This book delivers a plethora of specific practices, processes, tools, and templates—all aligned to the RTI at Work™ and PLC at Work® processes—that teachers,
Q: What is one key mindset, strategy, or practice you’d like educators to take away from this book? We must treat behavior the same as academics. Behavior skills are not genetic—they are taught. As educators, we shouldn’t assume that teaching these skills is a job that needs to be done in the home. If we’re not pleased with the way students are acting, we need to take the time to teach the behaviors that we want learners to demonstrate.
teams, and entire school communities can use to support students in positive, productive ways. Behavior Solutions also builds upon two foundational PLC and RTI resources: Learning by Doing and Taking Action. By using these three resources together, educators will have everything they need to fully implement an effective multitiered system of supports (MTSS).

FAQ: The Best Way to Create a Multitiered System of Supports (MTSS) A highly effective multitiered system of supports (MTSS) requires educators to work collaboratively and take collective responsibility for every student’s success. RTI at Work™ builds upon the power of the Professional Learning Communities (PLC) at Work® process to create the learning-focused culture and collaborative structures needed to ensure all students receive the time and support they need to learn at high levels. RTI’s underlying premise is that schools should not delay providing help for struggling students until they fall far enough behind to qualify for special education, but instead should provide timely, targeted, systematic interventions to all students who demonstrate the need. (Buffum, Mattos, & Weber, 2012, p. xiii) [Behavior Solutions, p. 9–10]
What is the difference between RTI at Work and MTSS? RTI at Work is the highly effective way to implement a MTSS and is research-affirmed, results-oriented, and proven to accelerate learning and close achievement gaps. The key difference is that the “RTI at Work” approach is purposely built upon the PLC at Work process. The essential characteristics of the PLC at Work process are perfectly aligned with the fundamental elements of RTI. PLCs and RTI are complementary processes, built on a proven research base of best practices and designed to produce the same outcome—high levels of student learning. PLCs create the foundation required to build a highly effective system of interventions. [Taking Action, p. 11]
Does RTI at Work address the behavior element that is critical to implementing MTSS well? RTI research—specifically focused on behavior interventions—has been ongoing since the 1960s. The phrase “Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports” was first coined in the reauthorization of the IDEA; however, the practices, principles, and systems that characterize PBIS have been described, studied, and implemented since the early 1960s and 1970s (Carr, 2007; Carr et al., 2002; Sugai & Horner, 2002). RTI at Work, specifically, with its split-pyramid design, was developed to ensure that academics and behavior are addressed and featured in a systemwide support process for students. RTI at Work professional development ensures educators are provided the guidance necessary for ensuring time and other resources are efficiently and effectively allocated for academic and behavioral support.
How does RTI at Work address academic and social behaviors? In the PLC at Work process, four critical questions drive the school’s collaborative efforts to ensure student learning: 1.
2. 3. 4.
What knowledge, skills, and dispositions should every student acquire as a result of this unit, this course, or this grade level? How will we know when each student has acquired the essential knowledge and skills? How will we respond when some students do not learn? How will we extend the learning for students who are already proficient? (DuFour, DuFour, Eaker, Many, & Mattos, 2016, p. 36)
In our RTI at Work approach, we use these four questions to guide the teaching and intervening of essential academic and social behaviors. Educators should view misbehavior as the absence of an academic or social behavior skill; misbehavior or organizational struggles are an educator’s cue to fill that gap by teaching the expected skills. [Behavior Solutions, p. 3] To this end, the staff should work collaboratively to: • • •
At Tier 1, identify the essential behaviors all students must learn and demonstrate for future success. At Tier 2, provide time and support to students who need additional help mastering essential behaviors. At Tier 3, target intensive support for students who demonstrate severe behavior needs.
Finally, the RTI at Work process delineates how to allocate staff best to guide academic and behavior interventions. This is critical, considering most schools and districts have extremely limited resources, and staff is already overwhelmed.
Our school is focused on accelerating learning, not remediation for students who have fallen behind. Does Tier 3 of RTI at Work focus on accelerating learning? Far too many students needing “remediation” have failed to close their achievement gaps because they miss grade-level essential curriculum to receive Tier 3 support. Our RTI at Work approach was purposefully designed to address this problem, beginning with defining Tier 1 as “all students having access to the grade-level essential curriculum.” Additionally, we advocate that students are not “moved from tier to tier”; instead, additional tiers of support are “value-added.” This means that any student who needs intensive remediation (Tier 3) on essential skills from previous years must receive this support: • •
In addition to access to the current grade-level essential curriculum (Tier 1) AND In addition to additional time and support to master grade-level essential curriculum (Tier 2)
The RTI at Work process is perfectly aligned with the current efforts by many states to discontinue the use of traditional “remediation” and instead advocate for “acceleration.” (In fact, the RTI at Work approach has been advocating for this approach since Simplifying Response to Intervention was published in 2011.)

Success Story
Mildred M. Hawk Elementary School CORINTH, TEXAS
DEMOGRAPHICS
› 730 Students › 9% Free and reduced lunch › 2% English learners › 8% Special education › 5% African American › 12% Hispanic › 4% Asian/Pacific Islander › 1% Native American/Alaska Native › 5% Multiracial
Hawk Elementary School is located in Corinth, Texas, a suburban area north of the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex. It is currently the largest elementary school in the Denton Independent School District. The elementary schools in the district are designed to serve up to 650 students, but in recent years, Hawk’s enrollment has reached as high as 830 students.
CHALLENGE As Hawk Elementary staff worked to become a professional learning community (PLC), they tackled tough conversations about assessment practices. In 2010, they began working with assessment expert Cassandra Erkens. Focusing on the question, “How do we know when students have learned it?” teachers began digging deeply into how to identify mastery. What they found was a lack of alignment between assessing and recording mastery of essential standards. This misalignment impacted student learning. Third-grade students were demonstrating a lack of readiness for state assessments. They also routinely underperformed in comparison with fourth- and fifth-grade students, especially in math. To address this, vertical teacher teams were created to collectively assess student problem solving and thinking. Other areas of focus included how to better prepare rigorous common assessments and how to report on them to all stakeholders, including students, parents, and colleagues. As staff began to read and study more about effective use of assessment, they realized they needed tools to help guide instruction.
IMPLEMENTATION Hawk Elementary staff received customized on-site coaching. Specific guidance given during PLC team meetings focused on effective practices for engaging students with learning targets, writing rubrics to measure proficiency, and engaging students in collaboration to make student-friendly rubrics. One of the most powerful strategies teams learned was to score student work collaboratively. In addition, teachers have worked together to unpack the state standards; evaluate each standard for its relevance in the areas of endurance, leverage, and readiness; and identify the most essential standards to measure for mastery. Once the essentials were
68
identified, the teachers designed a standards-based report card to communicate these standards to all stakeholders. Each standard reported has a common assessment designed to assess for student mastery. Each assessment has an accompanying rubric designed to communicate expectations to students and measure performance when the task is complete. Teachers then work as teams to develop common formative assessments to use throughout instruction to monitor student learning from day to day. Teachers use weekly PLC meetings to review formative and summative assessments and make decisions about interventions.
Working with Cassandra Erkens allowed me, as the campus leader, to pull together a variety of best practices and research for the teachers I serve. I felt confident this was the most effective training to support student learning.” ——Principal Susannah O’Bara
RESULTS After Hawk Elementary initiated a standardsbased grading and reporting system, the entire district worked to transition to this system. All elementary schools in the Denton ISD currently use a standards-based report card, and all secondary schools are implementing standardsbased grading. This change in grading and reporting has clarified learning objectives for staff, students, and the community.

“Cassandra Erkens provided us the tools needed to dig deeply into the standards, break them apart, and collaboratively determine proficiency of these standards,” says Principal Susannah O’Bara. “She also guided us in becoming an assessment-literate campus. Now, we facilitate deep learning of rigorous standards for our students. All teachers work in teams to design common formative assessments, and they use these assessments to guide instruction and maximize student achievement daily.”

Featuring Garnet Hillman and Mandy Stalets
Q: What inspired you to write Assessment as a Catalyst for Learning? One of the goals for this book was to honor what teachers are doing in the classroom already and the fact that they really are assessing all the time. We also want to help educators avoid the mistake of rushing through assessment practices to get to system changes like grading reform. Let’s first focus on the magic that supports student learning.
Assessment isn’t something that’s done to students; it’s done with them as a support and as a teaching tool. We feel that if you jump the gun and miss the major step of really honing in on your assessment practices, grading reform will not have the impact that you want it to have.
Q: Can you walk us through the assessment process you outline in the book? First, you have to identify your standards. There needs to be a backward design where teachers first understand the destination to inform their journey. Next, outline your learning progressions. This is often overlooked but so important. Here, we’re taking that destination and mapping out a stepby-step, manageable path to get there—for teachers and students alike. After that, really plan your summative and formative assessments by asking, “How can I learn from this? How can my students learn from this?”
assessments that happen daily and are opportunities to observe and respond. Then there’s the “capital F” Formative assessments that are more like events, something like an exit ticket. Both types are necessary. Let’s plan for “Formative” assessment and also take advantage of teachable moments.
All the while, pay attention to formative assessment and use what you learn from it. We see two different types of formative assessments. There are the informal formative
formative assessment really means because that’s where the magic happens.
Q: What makes this book unique? We know that there is a lot out there on assessment of learning versus assessment for learning. We wanted to marry that and say, “Assessment is learning.” It’s a process. It’s ongoing. It’s such an integral piece.
Q: What is the one thing you would like educators to take away from this book?
Finally, we want to make sure every educator understands that formative assessment does not just mean it comes in the middle of learning. If you are not doing anything with the data, it’s not formative. We need to talk about what

Assessment can be a learning process for everyone. It’s collective work. Also, it is a gift to kids. It should not be a punitive, scary, overwhelming experience for kids. It should be something that helps them. So often, it seems that kids are not introduced to assessment in this way.

Success Story
Kenwood Elementary School LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY
DEMOGRAPHICS
› 576 Students › 11% Special education › 85% Free and reduced lunch › 44% English learners › 18% Hispanic › 28% African American › 39% Caucasian › 4% Multiracial › 11% Asian
Kenwood Elementary School is a Title 1 school within Jefferson County Public Schools in Louisville, Kentucky. It is ranked among the top 20% of public schools in the state for both diversity and students eligible for free and reduced lunch. There are more than 30 countries and 24 languages represented among the student population. “It’s a beautifully diverse place to be,” says Kenwood principal Jill Handley.
CHALLENGE The year prior to partnering with Solution Tree, state test scores showed Kenwood Elementary mathematics proficiency to be near the lowest in the district at 17 percent. “This was such a devastating blow,” admits principal Jill Handley. “I consider myself to be an instructional leader. I know instruction and what should be going on, but what it really came down to is that we didn’t have the systems and structures in place to move achievement.” When the opportunity arose for Kenwood to apply to be a pilot Professional Learning Communities at Work® school, Handley seized the chance. She knew her staff had what it took to tackle this work. “We already had common planning as part of our process, and most of us appreciated the idea of collaboration,” says Handley. Kenwood was selected as one of 13 schools in the district to work with Solution Tree.
IMPLEMENTATION A lot of heavy lifting happened that first year in working with Mathematics at Work™ associate Mona Toncheff. “That was probably the hardest our staff has ever worked, aside from teaching through a pandemic,” says Handley. Teachers focused on deconstructing standards and creating common assessments. “They didn’t just learn how to create common assessments,” notes Toncheff, “but also how to score them so that every student’s experience is equitable.” In the beginning, their common assessments tended to focus on DOK level one. Assessments were tied to a low expectation of the standard and not the rigor of it. “That is definitely not the case now,” observes Toncheff. Handley adds, “But since we had no common assessments prior, just that first step made a huge impact on student learning.”

In year two, Toncheff dug into instructional shift and conducted lesson studies with every team in the school. “It was eye-opening for staff to be in each other’s classrooms and observe how instructional choices like questioning and lesson design impacted student thinking,” recalls Toncheff.
One really great thing about working with Mona is that, even though we had a lot of work to do, she made it chunkable, giving us action steps to accomplish between our sessions with her. This allowed me to be in the boat with my teachers. It gave me the opportunity to hear this outside perspective and then lead and learn alongside my staff.” —Jill Handley, principal

to keep going. By the end of year three, mathematics proficiency had risen to 50 percent from their starting point of 18 percent. This level of improvement earned Kenwood state recognition as one of 47 “bright spot” schools out of more than 1,000 applicants who showed higher than expected growth in mathematics achievement.
“By this time our thinking was shifting in two major ways,” Handley adds. “One, we no longer were focusing so much on what the teacher is doing but on what the students are learning and applying. Two, we were learning what true collaboration looks like. We truly understood how to collectively look at the data for all our kids and respond effectively.” Year three focused on refining their work on assessments and instruction. Kenwood staff also realized the value in the intensive conversations they were having around math content. Over the course of three years, the staff had started to think about and discuss what good math instruction and proficiency look like and then apply that thinking.
RESULTS After just one year of working with Toncheff and putting the basic tenets of Mathematics at Work in place, Kenwood doubled their overall mathematics proficiency. This significant, visible result motivated staff
Other accolades include their status as the only school in Kentucky to be recognized as a National School of Character. Prior to the pandemic, Kenwood also boasted one of the top MAP growth indices out of all Title I schools in Jefferson County Public Schools across all subgroups. In addition, Kenwood Elementary School became the first school in the district to be named a National Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) Distinguished School—one of only 100 schools in the country recognized for the distinction in that year. According to a press release published by the district, “the school was identified by the Kentucky Department of Education and the National Association of ESEA State Program Administrators for excellence in serving its English learner population.”

Hacienda La Puente Unified School District (HLPUSD) is located in Los Angeles County. HLPUSD is one of the largest districts in the San Gabriel Valley and serves students in Hacienda Heights, La Puente, and City of Industry.
CHALLENGE Mathematics had been a challenge at HLPUSD. Fewer than 30% of students were proficient in mathematics, and only 12% of 11th-grade students demonstrated college readiness on the Early Assessment Program (EAP). District leadership decided to provide teachers with ongoing, intensive professional development to increase rigor and student achievement in mathematics.
IMPLEMENTATION District leaders made the decision to bring Dr. Juli K. Dixon to HLPUSD to lead a one-day training for principals and teachers. Afterward, teachers were asked if they would be interested in summer professional development—the answer was an overwhelming yes. HLPUSD began partnering with Solution Tree’s DNA Mathematics experts to drive excellence in mathematics instruction. Leadership scheduled a variety of training opportunities over several years to ensure teachers at all grade levels increased their content knowledge and depth of understanding. Mathematics became a constant part of the district’s academic conversation and focus, with staff developing a sincere commitment to the mindset that all students have the ability to achieve in mathematics. “The strength of the professional development is the reallife examples they bring to the table,” explained assistant superintendent Judy Fancher. “What teachers like the most is that they learn the strategies in action. The workshops are interactive with the use of manipulatives, participant-created charts, and technology.”

After working with Solution Tree’s mathematics experts, the percentage of students meeting or exceeding mathematics standards increased from 31% to 38% in three years.
RESULTS HLPUSD’s long-term goal is for all students to complete four years of high school college-preparatory mathematics. Since partnering with Solution Tree, the district has seen consistent growth from year to year and continues to build capacity at the site and district levels. “We face the moral imperative to provide all students an opportunity to learn and apply mathematics,” said Dr. Fancher. “As the global economy evolves, students, more than ever, require sophisticated math skills to increase opportunities for postsecondary education and careers.”

AUTHOR S P O T L I G H T

Featuring Janel Keating and Jasmine K. Kullar
Q: What inspired you to write this book? We both have had several conversations over the years about our experiences as women educators. Every time we share stories about our journey, we realize we aren’t alone in our experiences. As women, we learn from each other to become better leaders for our school and district. The conversations inspire us every time, and we’ve said more than once, “We need to write a book!” A pivotal point in these conversations came when we asked ourselves, “How do we give our daughters the tools they need to successfully navigate the world as young women?” Having
this platform to unite successful women leaders in sharing experiences, insights, and guidance can potentially help inspire all women—including our daughters. For too long, it has been assumed that successful leadership looks like successful male leadership. But women bring skills and nuance to the table that are different yet equally powerful and effective. Women can and should lead like women. We especially hope to inspire women of color, as they continue to be underrepresented in leadership roles.
Q: What challenges will this book help educators overcome? We organized this book into three themes and each of the themes can help educators overcome certain challenges. Our first theme is “effective leadership,” which focuses on building confidence, leading change, and leading with compassion. The second theme is “obstacles,” which will help educators identify specific challenges that sometimes get in the way of our personal and professional growth. This includes looking within
to become stronger, rising up the ranks in our career, and having the right tools and confidence to have those difficult conversations. The final theme is “self-growth,” which offers guidance on nurturing your own personal and professional growth. This includes the importance of mentors, preparing for a promotion, taking care of yourself, and learning from other women leaders.
Q: What makes this book unique? The contributing authors make this book unique. These writers range from current and former superintendents, central office staff, principals, national and international speakers, and wellknown authors. They draw from rich, vast experiences to offer
Q: If educators take one thing away from reading this book, what would you hope that would be? Every educator has strengths. Sometimes we may not know what they are, or sometimes we get sidetracked with challenges that come our way. Despite this, we need to keep the focus on reinforcing our strengths; effectively dealing with obstacles; and making the time for self-growth. We hope that one day more women educators move up the ranks so we can close the gap between the number of female superintendents versus male. We want to ensure distinct female leadership talents are recognized and valued as they work to advance the mission and vision in a school district.
wisdom that we hope will make an impact on our readers. Imagine having the opportunity to learn from ten effective and successful women leaders—all in one book. This book provides that amazing opportunity.

AUTHOR S P O T L I G H T
S P O T L I G H T Featuring Alex Kajitani
Q: What inspired you to write 101 Tips for Teaching Online? Like so many educators, I found myself having to adapt quickly to online teaching when the pandemic hit. It was important to me not to lose sight of what we still must do fundamentally as teachers: Get the students engaged, build relationships, create community, and deliver the academic content they need. I saw my own children experience online classes they couldn’t wait to log into and others they dreaded. I heard colleagues express their challenges. All of this made me
realize this opportunity to evolve what we do. How do we build something new that’s still grounded in highly effective teaching practices? My research included lots of phone interviews with teachers I knew who were experiencing these challenges, as well as my own struggles and growth. The result is an engaging resource where teachers can pick up a few fresh ideas to enhance what’s working or read cover-to-cover to really build a new online environment where kids can thrive.
Q: What are some adaptations you offer in the book? One example adapts what I consider the number one classroom management strategy of all time, which is greeting your students at the door. That sets the tone for the class and gives students a welcoming environment. We’ve got to do the same thing online. As students sign in, be sure to greet them warmly. Let them know you see them. Welcome them into the community.
Then, there’s the bigger issue of equity and online learning. It’s not enough to give every kid a tablet or laptop and call it done. Some students have connectivity issues. Some students are unable to participate online because they’re caring for other family members. Some students have really good reasons for not turning their cameras on. These are all things we need to address and are things I discuss in the book.
Q: What have you heard teachers say is their number one challenge for teaching online? I think it’s keeping students engaged from sign-on to sign-off. It comes down to building relationships with students, managing our online classrooms, using the right
teaching strategies, and structuring lessons that keep the class moving. I’m really excited about what this book offers to address student engagement.
Q: What was one of your favorite chapters to write?
FEATURED RESOURCE
I really enjoyed writing about building community. I believe that building relationships with students online is something that absolutely can be done. I see it every day. I know it can be powerful and that it can be a lot of fun for the teachers as well, especially if we start thinking about the space as a community rather than a class. A class is someplace where people show up, they learn some stuff, take a test and get a grade, and then they’re out of there. A community is something we come back to, we contribute to—a place where we belong.

AUTHOR S P O T L I G H T
S P O T L I G H T Featuring Dale Ripley
Q: What inspired you to write The Tactical Teacher? Serendipity placed me in an inner-city junior high for my first official teaching job. We had lots of issues with gangs, violence, and theft. Rather than writing off my most challenging students, I started to learn ways to get through and see what was going on inside that tough exterior.
After years of teaching, I learned that all kids can be reached and can be motivated. I didn’t dictate what they should do with their lives, but I did show them they had options. Don’t write any kid off because none of us can predict the future.
Q: What strategies do you share with teachers? First of all, let the kids know that you’re in this for the long haul. Make sure they realize that no matter how they behave in class, you will show up every day with the best you’ve got. I also share strategies for getting to know the students. For example, have them write a “newspaper of the self.” Let them know they can be up-front and that there
is no judgment. This starts you on a path of discovery for each student. If I want to build a working relationship with a student, I need to learn all I can about them as a person. When I do my work that way, I have all kinds of doors and windows that I can enter, and then we can have a relationship.
Q: What guidance do you offer about setting up the physical classroom? You can change mindsets and attitudes without students even knowing you’re doing it. For example, I would stand at the door greeting students while wearing this garish tie. It was bright blue with smiley faces all over it. You can’t look at that tie and not smile back. It’s that ugly. That’s the first impression they get for my class for the day—a reason to smile.
Q: How do you envision a teacher picking up this book and using it? The book is broken into bite-sized pieces. You can read it front to back or focus on specific strategies in any one of the chapters.
Q: If there is one thing you would hope educators take from this book, what would it be?
Another strategy is to make sure some of your displays are set up by students. You want student ownership of the room. Colors, displays, seating arrangements—all these things set the stage for how kids feel in the room. Make sure the students know the space belongs to them as well as the teacher.

AUTHOR S P O T L I G H T
S P O T L I G H T Featuring John F. Eller and Tom Hierck
Q: How do you define “trauma-sensitive instruction”? Trauma-sensitive instruction involves establishing and reinforcing a foundation where students have a safe and predictable classroom environment that helps them learn and develop resilience to move beyond the traumatic situations they face. Trauma-sensitive teachers seek to understand the situations their children face then design and use instructional
strategies that meet the needs of these and all of the children in their classes. Rather than asking “What’s wrong with this child?”, trauma-sensitive teachers ask, “What’s happened to this child?”. They use the strengths of the child to further the growth opportunities.
Q: How does your book, Trauma-Sensitive Instruction, help teachers provide a safe environment for their learners? We provide information for teachers to understand the issues that trauma can cause and develop strategies and ideas to implement that can moderate these impacts. The information is presented in a practical, straight-forward, and commonsense manner so busy teachers can access it quickly and move forward in implementing it. Teachers will be able to
build on their present strategies and strengths rather than having to totally change everything about their practice. There are numerous stories and examples presented that contain information from real classroom situations that can be applied.
Q: How can school leaders support this work? School leaders serve a pivotal role in the success of their teachers and schools in becoming trauma-sensitive, including: • providing opportunities to increase their awareness of childhood trauma • providing opportunities for educators to collaborate to generate new strategies and garner support • establishing and maintaining the school culture needed for caring and success
• communicating the importance of implementing traumainformed instructional practices • assisting teachers in the development of school-wide process, procedures, and expectations When principals are aware of childhood trauma, they can support their teachers and students on the journey to becoming trauma-sensitive.
FEATURED RESOURCES
Q: What makes your book, TraumaSensitive Leadership, unique? There’s been a clinical approach to trauma, but there haven’t been many books that are easily accessible for school leaders. This is a book any educator can pick up— it’s tangible and practical.

AUTHOR S P O T L I G H T
S P O T L I G H T Featuring Marcia L. Tate
Q: What inspired you to focus on wellness in Healthy Teachers, Happy Classrooms rather than the brain-based instructional strategies for which you’re so well-known? I have witnessed so many teachers get burnt out, especially since the start of the pandemic. When I dug into the brain research of how to live longer and stay healthier, I realized I needed to put this information into an organized fashion for teachers so that they can see that there is a way to thrive and be healthy and do what they do best.
However, the instructional strategies I usually teach are still inherent in the book. Every healthy strategy I offer teachers is connected back to what is healthy for students.
Q: How do you see this book helping teachers reclaim their passion for their craft? This is my 48th year in education, and I come from a family of educators. I’ve done workshops throughout the United States and abroad. I’ve seen teachers who have lost their zeal, even before COVID. The purpose of this book is to show them how to put the passion back in and still get those high test results and practice great classroom management. It’s not an either-or.
Most importantly, I want them to take a look at their health. Teachers so often put their own health on the back burner to make sure they’re doing what’s good for students. But if you don’t take care of yourself, you soon won’t be that effective teacher you want to be.
Q: Where did you come up with the principles of longevity that you outline in the book? It started with an article I read from the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP). They presented 10 of the 12 principles in the book. At the same time, for the last 25 years, I’ve been presenting on the brain. The brain research supports these principles. The two new principles I added that were missing from the AARP article are
Q: What makes this book unique? I’ve seen plenty of books cover some of these principles, for example the power of exercise and movement or the importance of laughter. I don’t think there’s one book that synthesizes all 12 principles together. Another unique feature is that it’s backed up by brain research but offers practical information. So, I present the research but also tell you what you can do Monday morning.
Q: If educators take only one thing from this book, what would you hope that would be?
getting the proper amount of sleep and nutrition. To further support the 12 principles, I pulled from Harvard research, the Mayo Clinic, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. I have close to 80 references in the bibliography. These are definitely ways to increase your optimism, avoid burnout, and lengthen your life.

I want them to gain a sense of their own efficacy. They have the power to be able to regulate their own lives and also support students in healthy behaviors. They can be everything they want to be in the classroom and in their personal lives. One of my missions in life is to improve the personal and professional lives of the people I meet. This is the first book I’ve written that focuses on this mission, and I’m really proud of that.
