π’ Discover the Power of Tiny Gains! β±οΈ
Time, our best frenemy as teachers, always seems to slip away. But amidst the hustle, we can make small changes to improve our lives and our students' education. Join us at CST as we explore the concept of "100 things, 1% better" and unlock the potential of marginal gains.
π The Things that Matter the Most: Our explicit direct instruction playbook is a game-changer. By focusing on continuous improvement, our students receive the best education possible.
π΄ββοΈ Learn from British Cycling: Their remarkable success at the Olympics came from 1% improvements across the board. Let's apply this principle to our teaching!
π Break It Down: From lesson endings to dismissing a class, dissect each component and identify where you can be 1% better. Small changes can yield astounding long-term results.
π‘ Embrace the Aggregation of Marginal Gains: Aim for progress, not perfection. Improving by 1% may seem insignificant, but over time, it's transformative.
β³ Time Remains our Frenemy: As we approach "gain" time and summer holidays, let's seize the opportunity to make those 1% improvements in our teaching practice.
π― What are your 1% improvements? Identify them, act upon them, and let's conquer time together! β°β¨
