Newsletter 033: Articles on Leadership and Learning

Greetings and salutations!

I’ve been on the road with my family for a bit, greatly enjoying our time together. Plus, my family and I are about to move to the Lisbon, Portugal area — so we have been busy wrapping up details for the move!

My wife and I have taken jobs at an international school; I’ll be teaching science courses to students in grades 7 through 10. I will also continue my work with the Learning Engine, creating more courses and continuing to write this newsletter.

In lieu of a new article, I’m sharing a few interesting articles on leadership and learning!

Leadership

The “Teaching Trinity” — How Great Teachers, Coaches, and Leaders Transform Lives

Reflection in Action — Practical Ways to Learn from Every Experience

Effective Feedback — The Catalyst for Learning Excellence

Learning

Learning Through Productive Struggle

Learning Loops — The Cycles That Drive Knowledge and Skill Development

Thanks for reading this newsletter — and all the best!
