    Simon Strong Provides Half a Semester of Learning in One Hour
    2025/10/08
    🎯 The Ruckus Report Quick take: What if you could deliver six weeks of learning in a single hour? Simon Strong did exactly that — and the results are challenging everything we think we know about teaching, memory, and curriculum. 🤝 Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker Simon Strong is the founder of Download Learning, a UK-based company partnering with schools and organizations to dramatically accelerate learning by sequencing information to align with how the brain actually works. 🔨 Breaking Down the Old Rules 🧠 Key Insight #1: Speed doesn’t kill learning — distraction does. What’s broken: Slow, disjointed lessons overloaded with irrelevant detail.The shift: Simon’s team scripts, edits, and delivers content at 220 words per minute —nearly double classroom pace — to keep attention and trigger retention.Impact: Students retain foundational knowledge more effectively, especially those with ADHD or learning differences. 🧠 Key Insight #2: One hour, one-half term (seriously). What’s broken: Teachers covering complex topics in 6-week units with minimal retention.The shift: A single high-impact video lesson designed to fire synapses in precise time intervals.Impact: One hour of Simon’s approach produced equivalent learning outcomes to an entire half term of traditional instruction. Add teacher support, and outcomes doubled. 🧠 Key Insight #3: Flipping modes ≠ mastery. What’s broken: Constantly switching between direct instruction, stories, and activities in class.The shift: Presenting one “mode” at a time to avoid cognitive overload.Impact: Improved comprehension, less classroom disruption, and deeper long-term understanding. 💬 Quotable Ruckus “Education doesn’t build character—it reveals it. Our job is to help students discover who they are and become the best version of themselves.” – Simon Strong 🚀 Your Do School Different Challenge Ready to implement these ideas? **Start here**: Tomorrow: Audit your next lesson for unnecessary mode-switching. Stick with one mode longer.This Month: Try introducing a complex topic through a story, not a slide deck.This Semester: Partner with a colleague to design a one-hour “burst” lesson using Simon’s three-mode model. 🔗 Connect & Continue 🎯 Get the full episode transcript here. 🔗 Learn more about Simon’s work: https://downloadlearning.co.uk 🌐 Website🔗 LinkedIn 📄 Peer-Reviewed Research 📌 Ruckus Makers Don’t Just Listen — They Act If education ain’t a bit disruptive, then what are your students really learning?

  • How This Principal United Two Enemy High Schools

    How This Principal United Two Enemy High Schools
    2025/10/01
    🎯 The Ruckus Report Quick take: What happens when two rival schools — with decades of “us vs. them” history — are forced to become one? Derek Cantrell didn’t just merge Alleghany and Covington into a single high school. He built a “Better Together” culture while weaving in AI tools that are reshaping instruction and leadership. This episode is a blueprint for rethinking school culture in the age of disruption. 🤝 Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker Derek Cantrell is the principal of Alleghany High School, where he led the merger of two rival schools into one unified community through a “Better Together” culture. Alongside culture-building, he integrates AI-driven tools like custom chatbots and Julius AI to streamline leadership tasks and improve instruction. Derek is redefining school leadership by honoring tradition while embracing innovation. 🔨 Breaking Down the Old Rules In this episode, Derek Cantrell challenges traditional education paradigms: 🧠 Key Insight #1: Culture eats consolidation for breakfast. What’s broken: Forced mergers often leave communities divided, with morale and identity lost.The shift: Derek built a roadmap of intentional relationship-building — open houses, student forums, teacher mingles, and community events like cornhole nights and bonfires.Impact: Instead of resentment, Alleghany High became a place where rival traditions fused into a proud new identity. 🧠 Key Insight #2: Data disaggregation doesn’t have to take weeks. What’s broken: Teachers drowning in endless spreadsheets and meetings just to analyze test scores.The shift: Julius AI and custom chatbots cut through the noise, turning state test data into actionable two-page reports per strand.Impact: Teachers save time, get clarity, and can focus on engaging instruction — not manual number-crunching. 🧠 Key Insight #3: AI can make learning more relevant — and fun. What’s broken: Lesson plans that feel stuck in the past, disconnected from students’ real-world experiences.The shift: Teachers plug lessons into Derek’s bots to generate hooks, engagement strategies, and real-world applications.Impact: Students see math, science, and core subjects through a lens that matters to them, boosting both interest and outcomes. Quotable Ruckus "Culture doesn’t happen by accident. Lead it, shape it, and live it every day." – Derek Cantrell 📌 Your Do School Different Challenge Ready to implement these ideas? Start here: Tomorrow: Ask students and staff one simple question: What excites you, and what concerns you? Use the answers to guide your next decision.This Month: Build a small win — repaint lockers, host a community night, or launch a mini-podcast — and celebrate it loudly.This Semester: Experiment with AI tools (like Julius or a custom GPT) to cut down on data drudgery and make lessons more engaging.

  • Student Turns Classroom Idea Into $40,000 Business (Principal Reveals How) with Jeremy Quals

    Student Turns Classroom Idea Into $40,000 Business (Principal Reveals How) with Jeremy Quals
    2025/09/24
    Quick take: What happens when a leader ditches ego, prioritizes relationships, and treats students like real-world innovators? Jeremy Quals proves you can turn around struggling schools and create one of the most exciting entrepreneurial programs in the country. 🤝 Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker Dr. Jeremy Qualls is the Executive Director of the Entrepreneurship and Innovation Center (EIC) and College, Career, and Technical Education (CCTE) with Williamson County Schools. A former coach, principal, and district athletic director, he now leads some of the most innovative programs in Tennessee, blending entrepreneurship, career readiness, and creative learning opportunities that make school worth showing up for. 🔨 Breaking Down the Old Rules In this episode, Jeremy challenges traditional education paradigms: 🧠 Key Insight #1: Leadership isn’t about ego — it’s about relationships. What’s broken: Leaders who default to punishment and blame.The shift: Building trust first, simplifying discipline to “Be responsible, be respectful, be ready.”Impact: Transformed a school with 1,000+ discipline referrals into one with just 52 — and skyrocketed student growth. 🧠 Key Insight #2: Students need relevance, not busywork. What’s broken: 42 definitions on a worksheet and other meaningless tasks.The shift: Replace rote work with entrepreneurial problem-solving, empathy-driven projects, and micro-internships.Impact: Students who once checked out now show up excited, engaged, and prepared for life beyond school. 🧠 Key Insight #3: Create spaces worth showing up for. What’s broken: Schools that look the same as the 1950s— rows, lectures, and compliance.The shift: Entrepreneurial labs with open design, mentorship networks, and student-led startups.Impact: The Entrepreneurship & Innovation Center grew from 70 students to 280 with a 500+ waitlist — and is producing teen founders winning national competitions. Quotable Ruckus “Fail forward and fail often.” – Jeremy Quals 📌 Your Do School Different Challenge Ready to implement these ideas? Start here: Tomorrow: Swap one rote assignment for a real-world problem or entrepreneurial- style task.This Month: Map student relationships — find the “safety valves” so every kid has a trusted adult.This Semester: Audit your schoolwork and culture. Cut the irrelevant busywork, build in creative challenges, and create spaces students want to be in. 🔗 Connect & Continue 🎯 Get the full episode transcript: [Link] 🔗 Follow Dr. Jeremy Qualls: https://wcssportsconference.com/ Email: jq14@hotmail.comLinkedIn: LinkedInTwitter: @wcsCCTE on XX: @wcsEIC on X 📣 Ruckus Makers Don’t Just Listen — They Act If education ain’t a bit disruptive, then what are your students really learning?
