What others are saying about
Now We're Talking!
I just want to thank for the work you do! My practice, as a vice-principal, in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, has been transformed because of your book, "Now We're Talking" and the videos and resources embedded in your website and in emails set to me.
It still very much a work in progress, however the intentionality of class visits has had a huge impact on my learning, adult learning and ultimately, student learning.
Bryan Rankine / ADMINISTRATOR
I so wish I had this book as a first year admin. Would have really helped with classroom visits and creating a collaborative culture throughout the school. Very practical!
Maria Johnson / PRINCIPAL
My kind of book! Simple practical ways for admin to get into classes more! The classroom is my “happy place” but I struggle with everything else that needs to get done. My AP and I are both implementing together!
CHRIS SPUTO / PRINCIPAL
Your book and subsequent emails have flipped my thinking on data-driven walkthroughs. I’ve never felt they were effective, as a change agent, but I didn’t know what else to do. I left my first few notes for teachers this week, and shared an electronic version of my scripted notes. I was incredibly please at the teachers responses. They showed reflection on practice, and not defensiveness. I can’t wait to see how this approach will impact instructional and ultimately student learning.
