  • Mitch became a gifted teacher because he was a mediocre student. Despite taking seven years to graduate college, he navigated the classroom with discomfort. This unique perspective fueled Mitch's teaching approach. Recognizing the importance of laying a foundation for learning, he created Organized Binder. This research-backed strategy empowers teachers to impart executive functioning skills efficiently, preserving valuable instructional time. By establishing a predictable routine, Organized Binder fosters safer learning spaces, shaping Mitch's journey from a struggling student to an innovative educator.

    Show Highlights

    Navigate the two challenges with teaching executive functions.

    “Studentness” will provide the skills and habits to be successful regardless of content and skills.

    6 executive functioning skills that framework for the book, Executive Functions for Every Classroom.

    “The zone of genius” is embedded in what people are already doing.

    A golden opportunity critical for learning with retrieval practice tips.

    Never let your teachers start the day this way or plan key concepts.

    “Your curriculum, the stuff you're teaching.Have fun, let it be engaging, get passionate about it. Never mess with the routine. A consistent, predictable routine, because predictable learning environments are safer and we can't underestimate for some students how unpredictable their lived experience is outside of class.”

  • Nurturing Trust and Building Connections In Education


    With over two decades of experience as an educator in various school settings, I have cultivated a profound philosophy of education known as Two Rules. This philosophy serves as a foundation for fostering building-wide support for the social-emotional learning and mental health needs of students. Through the years, I witnessed the transformative impact of prioritizing these essential aspects of education, contributing to a positive and nurturing school environment.

    Since my retirement from formal education, my commitment to educational advancement has not wavered. I have found a meaningful role as a mentor and coach with the Illinois Principals Association, where I guide and support aspiring and early-career educators. This role allows me to share my wealth of experience and insights, contributing to the growth and development of the next generation of educational leaders.

    Show Highlights

    Leadership in education focusing collaboration and feeling safe.

    Early life incidents influence stress, empathy and resilience.

    Tips to help students reflect on emotional regulation and the difference between responding and reacting.

    Importance of every student having at least one caring adult.

    Guiding questions to encourage students in problem-solving solutions.

    12 Resiliency Resources in Brenda's book.

    Choose edges on a continuum to guide leadership decisions.

    “I think it would be, together we can be the solution. Home, school and community. I think together we can be the solution.”

    -Brenda Yoho

    “Clarity. How we communicate and how we are clear with what our message is and what we're trying to do. Everybody is valuable to what we're doing, and we're placing value on everything that we're saying. We have so much power in the words that we use, and I think that we forget that as educators.”

    “More kids experience negative emotion in their high school days than experience overwhelmingly positive emotion. So that's a problem. And it's an interesting problem because that goes completely in contrast to everyone's intentions. There's not a single listener, it's not a single parent, not a single teacher that wants that to be true. And yet it is true. And what I argue in the book is it's because we're not paying attention to belief.”

    Culturally responsive teaching isn’t hot sauce

    The ripple effect caused by leaders ignoring the slow burn of “Cognitive Redlining.”

    Embrace intellectual curiosity and encourage students to chase their own curiosity.

    Instructional Coaches are the “linchpin” to bridging the gap between leadership and teachers for pedagogical legacy.

    Make that first pancake and build collective intellectual curiosity and transformative practices that are important to your community.

    Questions to consider in the instructional core include how to help confused students and how to encourage the use of new skills.

    How to assess the current reality in classrooms to identify areas for improvement.

    “Even when we talk about equity, it doesn't always mean you have to be talking about race. You have to have an understanding of how inequity actually presents itself in your environment and therefore know where to place those disruptive innovations, how to get those people that are the resistant minority to be part of the crew, part of the effort to make shifts. How do we reignite their idealism and move them into it? I think it's a small thing. Again, invite them to follow their intellectual curiosity.”

    “‘To be like the rock that the waves keep crashing over. It stands unmoved and the raging of the sea falls still around it’.”

    ― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

    “We control the controllables. We control what happens to us as much as we can. We control our attitude, we control our thought process. There's a lot of leaders out there who I talk to who are struggling and a lot of leaders out there who are ambitious and ready to take on the world. But no matter what, that storm is going to roll in. You're going to hit those waves. And whether it's big or small, I think this is going to help a lot. So to both of you, thank you for helping put this beautiful thing together, and I'm excited for people to get their hands on Calm in The Chaos, to hopefully make a change in their lives for the better.

    Tools to recognize patterns and the 4 things that separate Ruckus Makers.

    Establish the right mindset to attract the right network that creates opportunities for bigger investments to be in smaller rooms with impactful individuals.

    Knowledge and tools from other industries that can be applied to education.

    The process of building a “Visionary” network and the importance of finding the right team.

    The concept of choosing one word or phrase to simplify goals and provide focus.

    Insights on living an “Epic Life” and the 4 step journey everyone goes through.

    “You're not a limit test for people you serve, that's hypocrisy. I'm a dad who happens to be an entrepreneur, not an entrepreneur who happens to be a dad. I would never let entrepreneur life destroy my family life. I think for a Ruckus Maker, if you destroy your family for the ruckus you're making to change the world, then might not be the right ruckus to make.”

She believes that in order for us to increase our representation in STEM, we must create an identity in STEM. Her doctoral dissertation was on "The Successful Implementation of STEM Initiatives in Lower Income Schools". Leena travels the world as a keynote speaker, inspiring audiences in education, leadership, and technology to think about equitable STEM education and how to ensure access for all. Her next book, Teaching and Learning in STEM, #4Real will be coming soon in October of 2024.

    Tips to unbind yourself from the system, to lead within the system to implement changes.

    Pull leaders out of the weeds with a candid assessment of school priorities.

    The challenges created by neglecting science and history curriculum.

    “The system is not set up to disrupt itself, to innovate, to redesign, but we need that because just looking at the results that kids experience we know that they're inequitable. If you're okay with that, keep doing what we're doing and maintain the system. If that bothers you. Our kids deserve better and equity is something we should all be fighting for, then how are we changing the system to produce a better result?”

    -Chief Ruckus Maker Danny Bauer

    “There's a program called the Anti Bias and Education Grant that came out of California, and this word anti bias has so much energy where some leaders are saying, you know what, I think we should just call it something else or let's kind of tippy toe around the word or let's not say the word. I don't want to dissuade people from coming. And there's part of me that's like, no, there is bias. We're going to address it, we're going to go head on. And then another part of me that's like, well, yeah, maybe we can change the word and invite people in and call them in and see what way we can handle it. And that's just with one word, anti bias.”

  • Jason Ablin, the author of The Gender Equation in Schools: How To Create Equity and Fairness For All Students, consults with schools across the country regarding gender and creating positive school cultures. At American Jewish University’s Graduate School for Education, he trains teachers to create gender aware classrooms and is also the founder/director of AJU’s Mentor Teacher Certification Program.

    Show Highlights

    Be able to receive feedback from a “cringe worthy moment.”

    Practical tools to frame and drive transformation based on issues of gender in schools.

    The Gender Equation is a vehicle for helping students experience success.

    Validate your teachers with questions instead of framing conversation through a specific lens.

    Lead from the middle and avoid aspirational leadership that alienates people who are trying to work together.

    Meet the goal of liberating students.

    Order, conformity, and obedience are the enemy of authentic education, and schools that are way too quiet.

    “You should feel like if we're really talking about making school like the real world, the school should be a place where we're literally teaching students how to enact their freedoms and speak up against systems which are not working well, whether it's at work or whether it's in your community or whether it's in your religious establishment, whatever it is. But you see yourself as a real change maker in the world because you see yourself as free. Everything in the school is surrounded by that principle and ideal.”
