She discusses her practical “check for understanding” approach, strategies for supporting diverse learners, and how productive struggle builds student independence. Jana also explores how leaders can empower teachers to take risks, reframe inclusion as a shared schoolwide responsibility, and make PLCs more powerful through clear protocols and consistent support.
