Great ideas don’t come from control—they come from trust.

With TBO, leaders create psychological safety so teachers can take risks, learn, and grow.

People don’t like being told what to do.

That’s why:
“I have a suggestion—would you like to hear?”
= huge.

It’s one small piece of a bigger trust-building system.

If this shifts everything, imagine a whole model built on it.

Trust-Based Observations: Leadership that builds trust → teaching that transforms students. #TBO #SchoolLeadership #TeacherSupport #EdChat

If Hattie’s highest effect size is collective teacher efficacy,
but our eval systems lower self-efficacy...
How will we ever get there?
Observations must build trust—not anxiety.

What if observation wasn’t about compliance—but about cultivating greatness?

Too often, our systems push teachers into survival mode. But greatness can’t be forced—it grows in cultures rooted in trust.

That’s the heart of Trust-Based Observations.
We don’t rate. We don’t rank. We build.

In Banff presenting at a conference. A participant tells me that retired caucasian relatives in Vancouver had a trip to the US planned. Got to the border, were asked to give their phones, saw Trump memes on Facebook. Boom—denied entry and banned them from entering the US for two years. Astounding?!?

On a mission change teacher observation to a model of trust and support.
If we’re going to use observation to create safe spaces for teachers to take risks trying new practices we ought to first examine old practices.
Are current models working? Are they improving teaching and learning?

I’m on a mission to transform the world of teacher observations to a model of trust and support.

I want teachers to know that can be observed trying something new, have it be a disaster, yet know their principal will praise the risk taking—the path to growth and happy teachers who stay. #EduSky
