Have a Good Life

Part two of my interview with Sam LeDeaux. You’re going to love it. Here is his blog

• How to balance the need for caring about the teacher with meeting the demands of the state and evaluation system. Evaluation in two simple steps
• Perspective of evaluation “your performance” vs. “service to kids”.
• I want teachers to invite me in for lessons that could go any way and possibly be really different.
• Leaders, strive to be the weak link
• How Twitter has changed his practice. Parents want to observe the classroom to ensure they like what is happening only when you are not transparent.
• Dedicating entire days to being in classrooms, while still managing requirements of his job. The more I am out and about, the less things there will be that pin me in my office. Goal: 8 full days in the class per month.
• Sharing what he learns and fails at with the staff.
• Inspiring Twitterers: @gcouros @justintarte @8amber8, chats, and anyone who is willing to share something is really inspiring.
• How to be a transformative principal: be patiently perseverant.
• What inspires him: his son, is he meeting his son’s expectations for school, because all his students are his sons and daughters!
