In this episode, we’re breaking down a game-changing practice: lesson framing.

If your students constantly ask:
“Is this for a grade?”
“Why I gotta do this?”
…it might not be defiance. It might be that the lesson wasn’t framed clearly.

We talk about:
- What “lesson framing” actually means (beyond writing standards on the board for compliance)
- How framing creates clarity, predictability, and smoother lessons
- Why your third-period lesson always hits harder than first period (and how to fix that)
- Quick ways to frame lessons without adding a ton of planning time
- How leaders can use the same framing moves to improve PD and PLC buy-in
- A real example of how clear learning targets helped students actually remember what they learned
