Blessed to spend the day with elementary teachers during 1:1 coaching sessions in CA. After mapping out their lessons I used questioning techniques to lead them to opportunities for growth. Each session was personalized to their needs. It was a good day. ericsheninger.com/aspire-chang... #EDUsky

This framework captures what education should feel like when it centers on people, not procedures. The shift from managing compliance to cultivating agency transforms classrooms into places where students take ownership, explore deeply, and develop skills that truly matter for life, not just tests.

Busy day coaching the student services leadership team in the Liberty Central School District (NY). Based on notes and feedback in my report I was able to create a targeted resource for them on Specially-Designed Instruction (SDI) ericsheninger.com/aspire-chang... #EDUsky

When coaching leaders, I try extremely hard to personalize the process to align with their goals and systems. Today in New York, I created this resource as leaders and I worked together to process feedback from the day on EDI aligned to the Marshall System ericsheninger.com/aspire-chang... #EDUsky

Schools that grow almost always want to be pushed. That’s why I have loved supporting Wells Elementary in CFISD over the years. They always want to move the bar higher. After 2 #personalizedlearning sessions they delivered the evidence today ericsheninger.com/aspire-chang... #EDUsky

Wonderfully day coaching leaders at Twin Rivers Elementary (CA) and seeing growth since the last visit with early literacy, stations, and high-quality first instruction (HQFI). Efficacy and results matter ericsheninger.com/aspire-chang... #EDUsky

AI will not replace leaders, but leaders who use AI will eventually replace leaders who do not. The leaders using AI will have more time for relationships, better access to research, and the ability to provide superior feedback esheninger.blogspot.com/2026/01/the-... #EDUsky #EDUskyAI #digilead

Coaching secondary charter school leaders today with an emphasis on AVID, High-Quality First Instruction (HQFI), and pedagogical leadership. In addition to my 3000+ word feedback report, I created this visual resource for them ericsheninger.com/aspire-chang... #EDUsky

East Coast to West Coast. Great to be back in CA coaching secondary leaders to check in on the progress they have made based on goals set in the fall. Now time to analyze both reports to determine next steps. ericsheninger.com/aspire-chang... #EDUsky #education

Nice warm day in Florida at Babcock Schools coaching secondary leaders. The best part, as always, were the reflective conversations and thought-provoking questions. This is how change happens. #disruptivethink #digilead #personalize #EDUsky

Words can’t explain how proud I am of the admin + staff at Jefferson School (CA). Differentiated tasks, data-based groupings, exit tickets…yesterday’s coaching cycle provided validation on how they acted on past feedback ericsheninger.com/aspire-chang... #EDUsky #education #disruptivethink #digilead

When I see great evidence of growth and effective practices in action I will go to great lengths to capture a solid picture. Coaching (and any PD for that matter) should lead to efficacy. Evidence matters. #EDUsky

Today I coached the principal of American Lakes School (CA). We tackled burning questions and problems of practice to collaboratively develop solutions aligned to research and could be validated with evidence. It was a productive day ericsheninger.com/aspire-chang... #EDUsky #disruptivethink

Evidence of growth is what coaching is all about. So proud of Natomas Park Elementary (CA) admin and teachers for following up on past feedback ericsheninger.com/aspire-chang... #EDUsky #disruptivethink

Always a great day coaching leaders when you see firsthand how they have acted on feedback and supported their staff to grow. Well done Inderkum High School (CA) ericsheninger.com/aspire-chang... #EDUsky
