Leader Of Learning Podcast episode 69: Understanding Resistance to Change by Dan Kreiness
In episode 69, I will take listeners through an understanding of resistance to change, how it impacts teachers, and what educators and leaders can do to reduce it. I discuss how resistance to change is real and research-based, why teachers are resistant to change, what researchers say about the topic, and whether or not resistance to change can be prevented.

The Coaching Habit
First of all, I don’t blog nearly as often as I should. If my records are accurate, this is the first official blog post I have published on the Leader of Learning blog since January 30, 2018. However, I am trying to turn over a new leaf – two new leaves, actually. First, I would […]
#My100Words about why I love what I do
Recently, I came across an interesting “challenge” thrown down by close educator friends of mine, Justin Schleider and Dene Gainey, who had been inspired by another PLN member, Jessie Boyce. The challenge, to write about why you love teaching within a budget of 100 words, was apparently first inspired by an assignment that Jessie was given as part of […]

My First (Amazing) Edcamp Experience!
It’s not you, it’s me. Step aside, traditional professional development methods. You’re not right for me anymore. I’m an Edcamp guy now! Only recently I found out about and realized the awesomeness of a relatively new form of professional development for educators called edcamp. See, I have absolutely become a self-admitted education nerd, spending (probably too) […]
It’s Not Bad Teaching, It’s Bad Training!
I have very recently come to a paramount realization that I believe will not only help shape the work I am doing now, but will also guide my future as an educational leader and (someday when someone is willing to give me a shot) school administrator. A realization that will help focus my mindset and support […]
