    Mentorship and Modernization: Building Schools for the Future
    2025/08/06
    The Ruckus Report Quick take: Student voice isn't just nice to have—it's the missing ingredient in creating schools worth showing up for. Casey Wright proves that when you design with students instead of around them, everything from panini lines to classroom layouts becomes a catalyst for engagement. Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker Casey Wright has served as an educational leader in Illinois high school districts for 30 years. He began his career teaching social studies at Rolling Meadows High School while coaching girls track and boys basketball. After spending 12 years at Highland Park High School as an administrator, Casey is currently an Associate Principal at Glenbrook South High School in Glenview, Illinois. With a Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction from National-Louis University and a Bachelor of Arts in Social Studies Education from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Casey is also a member of the Illinois Association of School Business Officials. Breaking Down the Old Rules 🔨 In this episode, Casey Wright challenges traditional education paradigms: Key Insight #1: Students Are Your Best Design Consultants What's broken: Adults making assumptions about what students want and need in their learning environmentThe shift: Regularly convening student committees to provide direct input on everything from food service to classroom furnitureImpact: Higher engagement, better attendance, and solutions that actually work (like shawarma bowls and flexible seating options) Key Insight #2: Physical Space Shapes Learning Dynamics What's broken: Static "lion cage" classrooms with bolted-down furniture that prioritize institutional control over collaborative learningThe shift: Flexible, mobile furniture and no permanent "front" of the room, allowing fluid movement and dynamic instructionImpact: Teachers become facilitators instead of dispensers, students collaborate naturally, and learning becomes interactive Key Insight #3: Mentorship Multiplies Leadership Impact What's broken: Leaders trying to figure everything out alone without seeking wisdom from experienced mentorsThe shift: Building long-term mentoring relationships that focus on caring for people first, competence secondImpact: Sustained leadership growth, authentic connections with students and staff, and career-long learning partnerships Quotable Ruckus "Students don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." – Casey Wright Your Do School Different Challenge Ready to implement these ideas?

  • How School Leaders Can Reclaim Their Time and Lead on Their Own Terms

    How School Leaders Can Reclaim Their Time and Lead on Their Own Terms
    2025/08/04

    Most principals feel like they're doing everything right — but something still feels wrong. That’s not a personal failure. It’s proof you’re playing someone else’s game. In this episode, Danny Bauer invites school leaders to stop following broken rules and start authoring their own.

    Breaking Down the Old Rules 🔨

    Key Insight #1
    What’s broken: School leaders can’t name the rules of the game they’re playing.
    The shift: Define success on your own terms — and write your own rules.
    Impact: Clarity, confidence, and control over what truly matters.

    Key Insight #2
    What’s broken: Leaders fill their calendars with others' priorities.
    The shift: Use intentional scheduling to create space for high-value work.
    Impact: More energy, focus, and results that actually move the needle.

    Key Insight #3
    What’s broken: Traditional PD ignores the emotional, practical, and systemic traps leaders face.
    The shift: Join a community-led, mentor-supported journey to reclaim your leadership.
    Impact: Massive mindset shifts and sustainable campus-wide results — all in just 8 weeks.

    Quotable Ruckus

  • Rob Barnett on Transforming Classroom Chaos into Mastery-Based Learning

    Rob Barnett on Transforming Classroom Chaos into Mastery-Based Learning
    2025/07/30
    The Ruckus Report Quick take: When 21 kids are on your roster but only 3 show up on time, you don't quit — you reinvent how learning works. Rob Barnett's journey from near-burnout to building a model that reaches 100,000+ educators proves that ditching whole-class instruction might be the best thing you can do for student achievement. Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker Rob Barnett is co-founder of the Modern Classrooms Project, which has empowered over 100,000 educators across 180+ countries to meet every learner's needs. A former public school math teacher who nearly quit during his first year, Rob transformed his frustration with traditional whole-class instruction into a revolutionary approach that made him fall in love with teaching again. Author of "Meet Every Learner's Needs: Redesigning Instruction so All Learners Can Succeed," Rob developed the free InstaleEson AI tool that helps teachers create blended, self-paced, mastery-based lessons in minutes. He believes every day, in every classroom, every learner should be appropriately challenged and supported. Breaking Down the Old Rules 🔨 In this episode, Rob Barnett challenges traditional education paradigms: Key Insight #1: One-Size-Fits-All Teaching Sets Everyone Up to Fail What's broken: Standing at the board delivering the same lesson to students with vastly different needs, attendance patterns, and readiness levelsThe shift: Record simple instructional videos (even using basic tools like Skype) and spend class time working one-on-one and in small groups with studentsImpact: Teachers can finally meet diverse learner needs while building authentic relationships — the foundation of real learning Key Insight #2: Mastery Must Come Before Moving On What's broken: Rushing students through content because "we've got to get through the curriculum," leaving gaps in understanding that compound over timeThe shift: Require true understanding of lesson one before advancing to lesson two, giving students the time they need to achieve real masteryImpact: Students build confidence and self-esteem when they experience genuine understanding, creating a virtuous cycle of success Key Insight #3: Good Learning Is Loud and Collaborative What's broken: Controlling every moment from the front of the room, mistaking silence and compliance for engagement and learningThe shift: Create a "college library" environment where students work at different paces, collaborate in groups, and engage in meaningful discussionsImpact: The best classroom management strategy becomes keeping every student appropriately challenged and supported — misbehavior disappears when kids can succeed Quotable Ruckus "I became a teacher because I wanted to work closely with young people. I wanted to get to know them, I wanted to teach them things so they actually understood and help them develop their own self confidence and self esteem." – Rob Barnett Your Do School Different Challenge Ready to implement these ideas? Start here: Tomorrow: Have one teacher try the InstaleEson AI tool to create a single blended lesson — start small, experiment with one topic This Month: Visit learn.modernclassrooms.org and explore the free training resources to understand the full framework for self-paced, mastery-based instruction This Semester: Pilot the Modern Classroom approach in 2-3 classrooms, focusing on recording simple instructional videos and shifting class time to individual and small-group work Connect & Continue 🎯 Get the full episode transcript: [Link] 🔗 Follow Rob Barnett: Linkedin 🏫 Modern Classrooms Project: Modern Classroom 📱 Follow on Instagram: Instagram 📌 Ruckus Makers Don't Just Listen — They Act If education ain't a bit disruptive, then what are your students really learning?
