1 of 2: Strong Tier 1 instruction starts with a launch that sets purpose & prepares students for meaningful work. A clear first few minutes—unpacking the goal, addressing misconceptions, modeling the thinking & defining expectations. This is the heart of Instructional Innovation+.

Healing doesn’t stop the pain from returning. It gives you the tools to meet it with clarity. That’s what emotionally intelligent leadership looks like. From my keynote: Heal Before You Reveal.
YOUR GUT ISN’T JUST A FEELING. The Enteric Nervous System contains more than 100 million neurons communicating between the gut and brain through the vagus nerve. Research from Dr. Michael Gershon’s work on the “second brain” helped explain why intuition can feel so real physiologically.
2025 didn’t go according to plan. I chose to accept it and work within my span of control. I focused on the inputs: • Faith • Family • Intentionality 2026 won’t be easy. But we do what’s required today. We learn to be comfortable being uncomfortable. The rest is in God’s hands.
AI DOESN’T FIX BAD INSTRUCTION. Strong instructional design still matters most in the age of AI. Harvard Project Zero’s Visible Thinking research reinforces the importance of making student thinking observable through reflection, reasoning, and authentic tasks. #EduSky #AILiteracy #PBLplus
Every AI prompt has a hidden cost — energy, water, and carbon. In PBL+, students calculate those impacts so AI isn’t just “magic,” it’s responsibility. That’s real-world learning. Bring a PBL+ with AI workshop to your school: bit.ly/42pHTtf #AILiteracy #PBLPlus #Education #JorgeDoesPBL
Hard work alone doesn’t build skill. Consistency does. Ericsson (1993): Expert performance develops through deliberate, repeated practice—not one-time effort. Pattern holds across fields: practice → competence → confidence Most people stop too early. #EduSky
Strength and positivity can still coexist with chronic anxiety. Michelle Moore shares how physical symptoms revealed what mindset alone couldn’t. Worth the listen — LLD Podcast. YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZSM... Spotify: open.spotify.com/episode/7ce6...
When students engage in work that connects to their interests, achievement, motivation, engagement, and attendance all rise. The research has been clear for years. The strongest driver is the skilled teacher who knows their students. #InstructionalLeadership #Education #JorgeDoesPBL
Reactive leadership creates unstable cultures. Strong leaders are not controlled by pressure, conflict, or emotion. They pause, regulate, and respond with intention. One of the core ideas explored in my “Leading Through Conflict” leadership series. #Leadership #EmotionallyIntelligentLeadership
A single question can prevent most arguments: “Why do you feel that way?” If the other person doesn’t want resolution, step back. #EmotionallyIntelligentLeadership #Leadership #JorgeDoesPBL
The Trump @WhiteHouse posted this video to social media yesterday. Death toll Iran: 1,100–1,230+ people killed in Iran from U.S.–Israeli airstrikes. USA: 6 people Israel: 11 people 330,000 people displaced Taxpayers have spent $5 billion+ in just 5 days! #Iran #Trump

Boundaries create safety. Safety lets your nervous system relax. Communication keeps energy moving. When nothing is said, resentment builds, and attraction drops. Boundaries keep you whole. Communication keeps you connected. That balance is where passion flows instead of fades.

Amnesty International warns the 2026 FIFA World Cup is a human rights risk. 500,000 deported in 2025. Fans from 4 nations banned. Only 4 of 16 host cities have rights plans. Toronto closed a homeless shelter for FIFA. Urgent action needed. #FIFA #WorldCup2026 #HumanRights

Deja vu. Not going in early, for once. But, needless drama got stirred yesterday, with a coworker accusing me of a malicious act. Today(?) I may, or may not, find out whether this gets blown out of proportion or gets squashed [as it should.] Any spare thoughts, prayers welcome.
A big-time pitch here by Kyle Bradish, who gets Anthony Volpe to swing and miss on a 3-2 curveball for a strikeout -- the final out of the top of the 5th. Yankees leave runners on the corners. Orioles' lead remains 3-0. Bradish has 7 curveball whiffs today.
Pete Buttigieg has talked about it for years and emphasized it, along with expanding the Supreme Court to depolitize it. He believes we need basic structural reform to shore up our democracy.
