Teach Better Academy - Changes Coming Soon!
|
Hey Reader You may have already received an email from Jeff, but I wanted to let you know about some changes coming to The Teach Better Academy. There is a new and improved Academy experience coming soon. This upgraded experience will bring you:
The upgraded Teach Better Academy will continue to offer free courses, and the community will be 100% free. There will also be paid courses, like there currently is. However, there will no longer be individual courses for purchase. Instead, all paid courses will live inside the paid tier. That paid tier will come with a slightly increased price. I'll break it down in more detail in future emails. Also, I'll be sharing a chance for you to test the full Academy for 30 days for free, and then lock in the current price of $9/month for life, before the prices increases to $20/month. Please keep an eye on your inbox for emails with more information and the links for taking advantage of the complimentary 30 days and price-lock opportunities. *Make sure you add this email to your preferred sender list to ensure you receive these emails. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask, but I'll be sending all the details soon. Thank you for being a part of our community, and for continuing to do the incredibly important work you do every day.

Hey Reader, Instructional alignment doesn’t happen by accident. It also doesn’t belong to one group.It’s not something leaders roll out. And it’s not something teachers figure out on their own.It lives in the shared space between them.If alignment is going to exist in a school or district, both teachers and leaders have a role to play. The responsibilities are different, but equally important, and always connected. What Instructional Alignment Requires From Teachers Teachers play a critical...
Hey Reader, When instructional coherence is missing, teachers usually feel it before anyone else. They feel it in planning meetings that don’t quite connect to what’s happening in classrooms. They feel it when expectations shift from team to team or year to year. They feel it when they’re asked to personalize learning inside systems that aren’t aligned or structured to support personalized learning.Most teachers don’t describe this as a “lack of coherence.” They describe it as exhaustion, or...
