It Really, Really is in the Syllabus!
Introduction The course syllabus. Often, it becomes almost a work of art for us professors. It is something that each of us have to craft each semester. And yes, I use that word “craft” deliberately, as the course syllabus is the guiding document for your teaching and student learning in the course.

The Case for Coaching for Independent School Leaders
As independent school leaders, we know that running a school is downright hard. Even prior to experiencing a global pandemic and the most significant social movement since the Civil Rights-era, senior administrators were faced with increasingly complex strategic and institutional challenges. I am making the case that to elevate education and transform our schools, coaching ought to be an obligatory tool utilized by independent school leaders.

Who are teachers to us? Teachers are one of the most important parts of our lives. After parents, children look up to their teachers. They not only educate us, but they also teach us various life lessons. Whenever we face any difficulties in our lives, we can take help from our teachers without any hesitation.

Teaching in 2020
I can’t open Facebook, Twitter, or any social media outlet without seeing something about teachers these days. Not just about teachers and the students that we see everyday, but specifically, about the stress, the burnout, the tears, the fatigue, the workload, and the pressure that we face on a daily basis. This has been the norm for as long as I can recall, but now, we have the addition of a global pandemic to add into the mix.

WHAT'S A CRYSTAL FOR?
When I was teaching hands-on science, we also gave "prompts" to our students to write and practice their science research projects and write ups. After the writing was over, science teachers from all over the city, gathered together to score the students with predetermined rubric. I will never forget one student's research. The scientific method was impeccable as well as the method to record the results. Even the conclusion was well researched and written to argue her point. The only thing is that further research or even different wording of the prompt may have lead her to an altogether different method and conclusion.
