A principal recently reached out to tell me how my chapter "Don't Settle for High-Functioning Teams" was eye-opening for her leadership team. The matrix I created has helped many teams assess their collaboration and grow into what I call, a Quadrant 1 High-functioning High-impact team. I remember driving into work about to lead school coaches in our monthly PD about how to best support our teacher-led teams when a question that had been nagging me for years finally made sense. 🤔 How is it that a team can get along and get things done, but still have little to no impact on teacher practice and student learning? Influenced by the words of Jim Knight's 2011 groundbreaking book, Unmistakable Impact, it became clear to me back then that not all team leaders think about "impact". What was even more perplexing to me was: 🤔 🤔 How is it that a team who does NOT get along, who has group conflict and does not have psychological safety CAN have impact on student scores and learning? I needed to create a framework that could explain the relation between how a team functions and its impact. I came up with the “Team Function Impact Matrix”. By viewing teams through 2 lenses (function AND impact) suddenly 4 types of teams emerged and I have made it my life's work to help leaders make sure their team collaboration lands in quadrant 1 so that teachers practice grows and teams reach the outcomes they need for students. I published the first iteration of my matrix in my 2013 bestselling book, The Skillful Team Leader, where I provide indicators for the 4 types of teams and common hurdles facing teacher leaders striving to get to quadrant 1. Since then, I have written more about this dual lens for looking at teams in my 2023 bestselling book, Intentional Moves, which holds nearly 150 strategies for helping your team get to quadrant 1. You can access the chapters for Free on Corwin website: 🎆 Chapter 2 "Don't Settle for High-Functioning Teams" (Intentional Moves. Corwin 2023.) 🎆 Chapter 3 "Alone Together: Overcoming Hurdles to Foster a High-Functioning, High-Impact Collaborative Team" (The Skillful Team Leader. Corwin, 2013.) ...and you can also view a short primer of me explaining my Team Function Impact Matrix on my Channel - Skillful Intentional Team Leadership.

🛑🟡🟢 Staying in my lane—because this is where the future’s headed. 🚗 A few weeks ago, someone asked me why an English professor is doing so much with AI, and suggested that I “stay in my lane.” Thing is… this is my lane. Composition has always been about digital literacy, critical thinking, and using language to make sense of a changing world. My job is to help students see the road ahead and navigate it with intention. These are the road signs my students are looking at 👇 Employers across industries now expect AI literacy. The road isn’t optional; it’s already here. AI is a tool, not the driver. We want students in the driver’s seat, 🚗 aware of the road ahead and equipped to steer, not passengers blindly staring at their phones with no idea where they’re going. This slide is from an upcoming presentation on ethical AI integration in the classroom, and it captures the why behind what so many of us are doing: preparing students to write, think, and thrive in an AI-shaped world. #AIinEducation #DigitalLiteracy #HigherEducation #TeachingWriting #AIPedagogy #AIIntegration #AIEthics #CriticalThinking #FutureReady #EducationEquity | 10 comments on LinkedIn

📅 Heads-up, K-12 tech leaders: I know budgets are tight and this will not be welcome news, but if you missed it this is a 'need to know' item. Google is rolling out major changes to Google Workspace for Education licensing starting late 2025. The timeline graphic below shows the rollout schedule, and the overview infographic outlines benefits, cost impacts, and action items. ✅ What’s new: unified license types (removing the old “free staff / paid student mix”), new license categories like Gmail-Only and Archived, and more rigid minimum purchase requirements. 💸 What’s changing for your budget: • Education Plus goes from $5 → $6 USD / user / year (global list price) • The old “1 free staff license per 4 paid student licenses” model is sunset; now all active users must have a paid or specialized license • New minimum license quantities will include all enrolled students + staff needing active licenses 🛠 Your next steps (starting now): 1. Audit your current license assignments (who’s active, archived, or Gmail-Only) 2. Run budget scenarios for 2025–2026 under the new pricing 3. Communicate the changes with your leadership / finance team 4. Time renewals or purchase decisions to avoid surprises 📚 For full details, check link in comment👇 **Infographics created with ChatGPT5**

The point isn’t to teach “process over product.” The point is to balance process, product, and progress — so that they are interconnected steps of a larger personal process. Focusing on process highlights the learning and work that goes into creation. Focusing on product highlights the creations themselves. Focusing on progress highlights the student’s growth between products and processes. Often, teaching only looks at products. This marginalizes the other two steps. My personal opinion is that the “process over product” movement is the swinging of the pendulum — a over-compensatory move that (I hope) allows us to reclaim the value of process. But in the end… We’ll need to build models that take all of these into account, so that we’re reclaiming the value of learning while also giving the freedom of choice that product-oriented assessment often allows. ——— Image: Peg Grafwallner’s “Not Yet…and That’s Ok” (2021), which also makes this distinction. It’s definitely a book worth (re)reading in The Age of AI!

Think chunking is just "split text every 500 tokens"? That's why your RAG system can't find relevant information. It’s time to level up your chunking game 😎 Most developers jump straight to fancy retrieval techniques, but it’s really your chunking strategy that can make or break your RAG performance. So let's break them down from simple to advanced: 𝗦𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀: 1️⃣ 𝗙𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗱-𝗦𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: Split text into predetermined token/character counts. Super simple to implement but can cut sentences mid-way. Great for prototyping when you need a baseline fast. Would recommend not using in production. 2️⃣ 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: Uses prioritized separators (paragraphs → sentences → words) and adapts to document structure. 3️⃣ 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: Leverages format-specific elements like Markdown headers or HTML tags. Great when you have structured documents with clear logical separations. This is usually my default because it respects natural text organization while not being too complex. 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀: 4️⃣ 𝗦𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: Breaks text at meaning boundaries by analyzing sentence embeddings to detect topic changes. Ideal for dense academic papers where semantic boundaries don't align with document structure. 5️⃣ 𝗟𝗟𝗠-𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: Uses an LLM to identify propositions and create semantically coherent chunks. Most powerful but also most expensive - a good choice for high-value documents where retrieval quality is absolutely essential. 6️⃣ 𝗔𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: An AI agent dynamically decides which chunking strategy to use based on document characteristics. The right approach when you need custom strategies tailored to each document. 7️⃣ 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝘂𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: Embeds the entire document first, then derives chunk embeddings while preserving full document context. Is a popular technique for technical documents where chunks reference other parts of the document. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 is that your chunks need to be small enough for precise vector search while giving the LLM enough context to generate useful answers, while also not being tooo much context that you overload the content window. 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸: • Prototyping → Fixed-size • Structured docs → Document-based • Dense academic content → Semantic • High-stakes systems → LLM-based or Agentic I would always recommend starting simple and evolving.
