  • Sam Feeney on Closing the Compliance Gap
    2025/07/09
    The Ruckus Report Quick take: The biggest legal risk most districts face isn't a headline-grabbing lawsuit — it's the hidden gap between the accommodations they promise and the ones students actually receive. Sam Feeney built a tool that collapses this compliance gap to 10 seconds and a single click. Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker Sam Feeney has been an educator for twenty-five years as an English teacher, counselor, administrator, and consultant. He created Accommodate in response to his professional observations and his personal experience as a father. Sam and the team at Accommodate provide classroom supports for students with all kinds of learning needs so every teacher can maintain instructional integrity. In his spare time, Sam enjoys reading and collaborating with others to build something new. Sam, his wife, and his five children live in suburban Denver, where they enjoy sports and the outdoors. And—no—he doesn't ski. Breaking Down the Old Rules 🔨 In this episode, Sam Feeney challenges traditional education paradigms: Key Insight #1: Need Equals Permission What's broken: Waiting for perfect credentials or expertise before tackling problems you seeThe shift: Recognition of a need is your permission to solve it — start with passion, build expertise along the wayImpact: Innovation happens when educators stop waiting for someone else to fix what's broken Key Insight #2: Hidden Non-Compliance Is Everywhere What's broken: Beautifully written IEPs, 504s, and ELL plans that vanish under the weight of crowded classrooms and overworked teachersThe shift: Technology that transforms any lesson into student-specific accommodations at the push of a buttonImpact: Students get the support they're legally entitled to, teachers avoid guilt and burnout, districts avoid million-dollar settlements Key Insight #3: Time Is the Ultimate Gift What's broken: Teachers spending hours trying to accommodate across three different areas of expertise (special ed, ELL, gifted)The shift: 10-second accommodations that give teachers back their most precious resourceImpact: Instructional integrity becomes sustainable, not just aspirational Quotable Ruckus "Need equals permission.

  • Rethinking School Leadership: From Problem-Solver to Capacity-Builder
    2025/07/02
    Mitch Weathers on Breaking the Bottleneck Leadership Trap The Ruckus Report Quick take: Most principals think they're the chief problem solver—but that mindset is actually what's breaking their schools. When you're the go-to for every fire, you're not leading, you're enabling dependence. Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker Mitch became a gifted teacher because he was a mediocre student. Mitch rarely felt comfortable in the classroom. In fact, it took him 7 years to graduate from college. Choosing to become a teacher, Mitch was fortunate enough to experience school as if it was happening all around him. He was unsure how to jump into his learning with confidence. There is a loneliness to experiencing your education as a passive object as opposed to an active subject. From the moment he entered the classroom, Mitch relied on his personal experiences as a learner. He recognized that what we teach—the content or curriculum—is secondary. We must first lay the foundation for learning before we can get to teaching. Mitch designed Organized Binder to empower teachers with a simple but research-backed strategy to teach students executive functioning skills while protecting the time needed for content instruction. The secret is found in establishing a predictable learning routine that serves to foster safer learning spaces. When students get practice with executive functions by virtue, we set them up for success. Learn more in his recent book Executive Functions for Every Classroom: Breaking Down the Old Rules 🔨 In this episode, Mitch Weathers challenges traditional education paradigms: Key Insight #1: The Problem-Solver Trap What's broken: Principals positioning themselves as the chief problem solver for every issue, fire, complaint, and questionThe shift: Moving from being the bottleneck to building capacity in your staff so the school runs without you in every roomImpact: Sustainable leadership that doesn't burn out the principal and creates independent, empowered teams Key Insight #2: Preparing Students for Unknown Jobs What's broken: Teaching rigid, content-heavy curricula when we don't even know what jobs will exist in 10 yearsThe shift: Focusing on transferable knowledge, transferable skills, and executive functioning competencies that adapt across any future roleImpact: Students equipped with the dexterity to thrive in an evolving job market where AI skills and human connection become differentiators Key Insight #3: The Boundaries Crisis in Education What's broken: An unhealthy culture that treats being "completely out of balance" as a badge of honor—first one in, last one out mentalityThe shift: Deliberate boundary setting that prioritizes sustainability and recognizes that self-care isn't district careImpact: Educators who can sustain their passion long-term without sacrificing family, health, or effectiveness Quotable Ruckus "When you're the go-to for every issue, every fire, every complaint, every question you're not leading, you're enabling dependence." – Mitch Weathers Your Do School Different Challenge Ready to implement these ideas? Start here: Tomorrow: Identify one problem you consistently solve for your staff. Instead of solving it, ask them what they think the solution should be. This Month: Audit your daily schedule. What percentage of your time is spent firefighting vs. capacity building? Set a goal to flip that ratio. This Semester: Implement one systematic change that reduces dependency on you as the decision-maker. Create protocols that empower others to act without your approval.

  • Veronica Holyoke on Breaking the Myth of Solitary Leadership
    2025/06/25

    The Ruckus Report

    Quick take: The "lone wolf" leader is a toxic myth that's burning out school administrators and failing students. Veronica Holyoke proves that transformational leadership happens in community, not isolation — and one hour a week can change everything.

    Meet Your Fellow Ruckus Maker

    Veronica Holyoke is a 25-year education veteran and Utah's 2024 Assistant Principal of the Year. A former 5th grade teacher with master's degrees in Curriculum and Instruction and Educational Leadership, she's spent her fourth year as an elementary Assistant Principal in Jordan School District. Beyond her accolades, Veronica has navigated supporting her husband through serious disability while excelling in her leadership role — proving that community support transforms both professional and personal resilience.

    Breaking Down the Old Rules 🔨

    In this episode, Veronica Holyoke challenges traditional education paradigms:

    Key Insight #1: Imposter Syndrome Isn't Permanent

    • What's broken: Leaders believing they must have all the answers and can't show vulnerability or uncertainty

    • The shift: Embrace community support where every voice matters, regardless of title or experience level

    • Impact: Confidence grows, authentic leadership emerges, and the toxic cycle of isolation breaks

    Key Insight #2: Weekly Support Beats Yearly Burnout

    • What's broken: The expectation that school leaders should figure everything out alone while pouring into everyone else

    • The shift: Prioritize one hour per week for consistent community support and professional growth

    • Impact: Leaders go to bed happier every Tuesday, face challenges with renewed energy, and sustain their passion for the work

    Key Insight #3: Personal Growth Drives Professional Excellence

    • What's broken: Separating personal wellness from professional performance, leading to unsustainable leadership practices

    • The shift: Invest in whole-person support that addresses both home and work challenges

    • Impact: When leaders are cared for, they can better care for staff and students — creating award-winning school cultures

    Quotable Ruckus

    "I could only take care of my staff and students because I was being taken care of because of the mastermind group." – Veronica Holyoke
