Listen in on a coaching call I conducted with a graduate of the 40 Hour Teacher Workweek Club. His name is Jim, and he’s entering his 4th year of teaching. Jim works on a grades 7-12 campus and is a high school geometry and 7th grade honors math teacher.
The questions that Jim submitted to me were mostly about getting student buy-in with room arrangement and routines/procedures. But the part that I wanted to share with you here on the podcast is where we do a deep dive into getting student buy-in with a cell phone policy.
Like most teachers, Jim already has most of the solution inside of him, and it’s just a matter of helping him uncover the different parts of that solutions and put them together. Notice how each of his responses to me is like a clue which leads us to the next piece of the puzzle, until we have the whole thing assembled. It’s a really fun process to participate in and I think it will be fun for you to listen to, also.
What we’re doing in this conversation is partially about ironing out the details of the cell phone policy, about partially about figuring out which areas of the classroom to give kids ownership of, and where we need to provide more leadership and modeling.
The value of this episode is in helping you ask YOURSELF the right questions, because honest self-reflection is what's going to get you to the right result.

We make time for what we really believe. Good collaboration takes time, but bad collaboration takes even more time.

Seven Keys to a Positive Learning Environment in Your Classroom
I have yet to meet a kid who is connected who disappoints.
If you build them, they will learn.
Learn every kid’s DNA, Dreams, Needs, Abilities
Start with something simple.
Every kid wants adult time and we should make that positive.
Focus on the kids
Kids don’t get consequenced to better behavior.
Don’t try to change people, try to change behavior.
Have adult conversations about what we are going to do with kids.
You can’t manage every classroom from your office.
Be the “Judicious Parent”
What is managed within and what is managed without the classroom.
The difference between rules and expectations.
What it looks like, feels, like, sounds like.
If we don’t model what we expect, then we should expect what we model.
How to work with challenging team members?
If everyone is nodding their head in agreement, you know somebody is leaving in disagreement.
Sometimes, we just follow someone and deal with what they left behind.
Leadership Rule #1, whether you create it or condone it, you own it.
How to deal with the comfortable, but not good.
Get clarity on our purpose.
Knowing the skills you have, how do you see that aligning with our purpose.
When it gets tough, we will turn to each other when we have clarity of purpose.
We do construction work in times of calm.
Ineffective practices = easy.
We have to get to the hard stuff and be willing to get messy to service 100 % of our kids.
How to find time. We make time for what we really believe.
Good collaboration takes time, but Bad collaborations takes even more time.
Chase time doesn’t work
How to be a transformative principal? Ensure that relationships are healthy and positive. Being positive doesn’t guarantee a good outcome, but being negative does guarantee a negative outcome.
Are you feeling like you are always behind at school? Do you feel like you need about 2 more hours each day to accomplish everything? Here’s how I help principals work manageable hours: Create your ideal week, so that you can leave work at work and enjoy your life!

In this episode of this series I am going to talk about 3 Lessons every teacher must learn that we can take from music. Music is powerful and there are so many truths found within it. As teachers, it is crucial that we live out what we hear.
