One of the more over-used phrases in education continues to be the term "differentiation." I don't call it over-used because it is not important. I believe a diversified learning environment is more important now than ever before. However, many education platforms and leaders continue to harp on this idea without providing real solutions to the challenges that a truly differentiated classroom poses.
Challenge #1 - Resources
For decades, the classroom was supplied with two primary resources, the teacher and the textbook. Students would spend the majority of their class-time interacting with these two resources and success was often dependent on their ability to do so effectively. It is my opinion that one of those resources continues to be the most important resource a student can have, the teacher, and the other is outdated and in need of drastic modification, the textbook.
Regardless, true differentiation requires the classroom to move beyond these two resources because all learners are unique, as are their needs. By opening our classrooms up to various methods of learning content, skills, and processes, we model what awaits our students after they leave our buildings. We should also clarify that needs are not just an indicator of students who are struggling. In many cases, our upper level and highly motivated students have even greater needs to be met.
While I don't have the absolute solution to the classroom resource issue, it is exciting to see the number of digital platforms that are providing new ways to engage with content and learning processes. Free web-based platforms like BioInteractive provide written content, videos, labs, and other interactive media to make learning go in directions that a textbook never could. Here is a list of my favorites this year.
STANFORD HISTORY EDUCATION GROUP: As the digital education landscape continues to take form, it is clear we need to teach students to discern fact from fiction on a screen. This free resource provides full historical lessons, rigorous assessments, and primary sources for students to review and evaluate critically.
COMMONLIT.ORG: Are you teaching To Kill A Mockingbird? Head to CommonLit to find a range of paired texts and lessons. Literary and Informational texts are paired with curricular texts in this free online library. Simply select content based on the book, theme, genre, grade, or even literary device.
BIO-INTERACTIVE: Digital textbooks could offer the world so much but fall flat in the execution. Sites like BioInteractive really pave the way for what content resources can, and should, be in the years to come. A plethora of digital videos, articles, research, interactive labs, assignments, and other science/math resources are available for FREE!
LISTENWISE: An huge collection of public radio podcasts have been curated, tagged, and organized by topic. Specific tabs for ELA, Social Studies, and Science are available, but other areas are covered. This library is free for Teachers, but premium features are available and include interactive transcripts, quizzes, and standards aligned lessons.
NEWSELA: Differentiation with texts can be difficult. Newsela offers the ability to assign articles to a class and scaffold them to the reading level of the student. Five different reading levels are available for most articles from sources like the Associated Press. Basic access is free and provides tools for annotation and basic quizzes.
NEWSEUM-ED: The internet provides instant access to information, but so much of it is inaccurate, misleading, or flat out wrong. NewseumED provides historical primary and secondary sources, along with pre-made lessons. Social Studies teachers will be able to teach media literacy along with their selected content by using historical publications of the era.
i-Reflect: District Wide In-Service
Today's in-service is a district-wide discussion and reflection about our on instructional practices at Morris Hills Regional School District. The instructional coaching program is committed to building meaningful learning opportunities that are led by the best resources we have to offer, our teachers.
Below you will find links to the Google Slides Presentation that will serve as the launching pad for our activities today, which includes:
Summer Program Development Sign-up:
Putting students in control
Yesterday I was out of the building. Like many teachers, I hate missing school because we lose the day of instruction; and with a block schedule, that can lead to large gaps in the learning process. After being out of the building yesterday, I returned this morning to a simple two sentence note from a substitute. It read, "Students worked the whole block. They are really into their projects."
I know this class well and it isn't a stretch to say they are among the best music appreciation classes I have ever taught. They are insightful, committed to their work, and they continue to demonstrate a vested interest in the art of music. What is interesting to me is the contrast between who this class is today and who this class is on day 1 each year.
Every Year Starts the same
My first activity each year is called "State Your Purpose." In this activity, students explain their reason for signing up for Music Appreciation in 1 tweet, about 280 characters. Many don't even use 100 to get their point across. I tend to get a few outliers, but the common thread of answers essentially read something like "I don't sing, I don't play an instrument, and I can't draw but I need to graduate high school."
While I have come to expect this answer over the years, I must say it always stings a bit to have students who are just not that interested in my subject area. I know that every teacher in the building can relate to that. However, we are still charged with the task of maintaining an orderly class, progressing every student through a curricular program and assessing their progress.
So who are these self-motivated learners?
Why do i care?
So the sub left a good note; the class did what they were supposed to do; why does that matter? It matters because I am watching the effects of positive learning experiences play out each day in my class. I am watching the development of student efficacy and executive functioning skills as students navigate a classroom environment that relies on them, not me.
What do I do with my time if I'm not running the show? I talk to kids, I evaluate their work individually, and I provide targeted feedback on their performance to help move them forward. I know that this isn't a brand new concept. Problem-based learning has been around for decades, but the LATIC framework gave me a structure to employ tools, strategies, and ideas that I have been reading about for years.
In short, learning took place in my absence and I can't wait to facilitate my next block and see what the students have built. It's fun changing the perception of my content area in this class because many of the students thought it was "going to be boring." In the long run, by creating challenging and relevant educational exercises, I am ensuring that my job as a teacher is necessary and essential. No modern machine can target feedback to an individual the way I can. I know my learners and how to meet their needs because putting the students in charge has freed me up to know them better.
Reading is a must!
When it comes to applicable cross-curricular skills, reading is at the top of the list. Beyond the walls of the school, reading is an absolute necessity for leading a healthy and productive life. While reading and literacy are regularly represented as ELA skills, they permeate every discipline in an important way.
Literacy simply defines the ability to read and write.As content specialists, much of our time is spent trying to make students literate in our area of expertise. Many of us are presenting daily tasks that require students to write about the content area. Math uses practice exercises that require one to read an expression and follow a series of written steps to solve the equation. Thus, a student must be able to read and write using math specific language; this is math literacy. Science is based on research and a desire to investigate the world around us. This research is published and built upon through decades and centuries. Students read and engage in experiments that will prove or disprove a hypothesis; then, students will reflect upon their findings using science terminology. Once again, this is literacy.
The same arguments can be made for every subject area in the building and this is why it is important to consider how teachers are implementing opportunities to read in every content area.
Creating a Meaningful class reading experience
Many classes use current events as a basic reading assignment. Maybe it is time to think about how we can make them more meaningful to students. Reciprocal Teaching is a tried and true group reading strategy to ensure students are reading for understanding and depth.
Teaching these skills can give you A 2:1 effect
It is very possible that a student could define their assigned role and be unable to facilitate the role correctly in this practice. Before you complete a full reciprocal teaching exercise, I would advise the teacher to complete at least one reading through each of the four lenses. In other words, take a class reading and practice summarizing as a group. For the next reading, everyone in the class is going to play the role of the questioner and progress through the reading sections with that mindset. In theory, that would prepare your class to attempt a reciprocal teaching reading for the fifth in class reading.
Why does this matter? Research concludes that Reciprocal Teaching can have a 2:1 effect on student achievement. That is reason enough to try for me. As always, the iCoaches are here to help if you want to learn more about this or other literacy strategies. Email firstname.lastname@example.com to set up an appointment!
MK Minute #5 - Gifted and Talented @ MK
Our First student perspective
Episode #5 of the Morris Knolls Minute features Mrs. Emma Jean Evans and five of our terrific students from the Gifted and Talented program. While I have taught a handful of GT students in my time at Knolls, it was wonderful to gain a new perspective on this unique program.
This is also our first episode to feature a student perspective. So far this year, I have tried to keep the episodes to around 15 minutes, but I felt each of the students had a unique take on the program and I wanted to make sure to showcase their insightful view on what it means to be a Gifted and Talented student. For this reason, Episode five runs about 10 minutes longer, but I think you will enjoy it.
Whether you are considering becoming a GT mentor for the first time or this is a regular part of your educational practice, I encourage you to really listen to what these students have to say about their projects. It is a meaningful experience to take control of one's own learning and many of these students are doing it for the first time in this program.
If you have any questions about the GT program or the mentor/application process, please reach out to Mrs. Evans at email@example.com.
Organizing Your Tasks Digitally
One of the most common questions I have encountered this year is "How do I organized all of these digital things?" The hardest part of this question is defining the "things" we are hoping to organize. For this reason, I have divided my recommendation into 3 different levels. These applications are centered around the organization of tasks, reminders, and digital resources.
Level 1: Free, simple, and familiar Google tools (Google Keep and Reminders)
Level 2: Free and collaborative task management with Wunderlist
Level 3: A powerful, do it all, pin-board application called Trello
I have chosen not to include a popular application called Evernote because there is a significant cost to access the tool set. I think Evernote is great, but as I have stated before, my goal is to provide tools with little to no cost for the user.
Let's dive in.
Level 1 - Google Apps (Keep/reminders)
As a Google Apps for Education district, we have a large set of tools at our disposal. If you haven't used Google Keep before, we'll think of it as Digital Post-It notes.
Pros: Easy to use, impossible to lose a note, familiar format for an easy digital transition, Sticky notes can be assigned to categories, A chrome extension can be added to help you save websites and digital materials directly to Keep with one click.
Cons: It's basic, what you see is what you get... (I think this is a pro for those looking for a simple solution)
Summary: If you are looking for more power, continue to Level 2, but I think many of our faculty and staff will find a home with Google Keep if they persist and make it part of the routine.
Level 2 - Wunderlist
Wunderlist was my gateway to collaborative digital task management a few years ago. This is a to-do list style platform. If you like to make to-do lists and want checkboxes with a satisfying "bell" sound when you check them off, then Wunderlist is the app for you. Wunderlist also makes it easy to share lists with others.
Pros: Pretty simple and intuitive to use, I like that you can assign notes to subtasks, Collaborative (lists can be shared with others to help with group tasks), That bell sound is very satisfying and can be addictive!
Cons: Definitely more of an investment to get going, Requires installation of additional apps on your computer (Google tools are just accessed through the internet browser, The notes section a welcome addition but pretty limited.
Summary: If you are looking for more options and collaborative options, I believe Wunderlist is a wonderful step to take. The ability to add subtasks and notes can be extremely helpful when you are unable to finish larger projects in one prep period. On a personal note, the Langer family grocery list now lives on Wunderlist so we never forget an item.
Getting Started with Wunderlist Video
Level 3 - Trello
Trello... Wow, what a tremendously powerful and free system for all types of task and project management. I moved to this platform about a year ago and it has made a major impact on my ability to organize my work tasks. Essentially, they have built a digital bulletin board, but you can have multiple. I have a pin-board for Instructional Coaching, General Teaching, Clubs I Advise, Resources I don't want to lose. While Pintrest is a pin-board style setup, it is more social media based. Trello is a legitimate powerhouse for managing tasks, collaborating on projects, and keeping track of the many hats we wear as educators.
Pros: By far the most powerful and visually appealing option in task management. Integrates and facilitates most projects and tasks the way I need it to. It is collaborative if you want it to be and private when you need it to be. Subtasks, links, resources, due dates, and a ton of other features can be added to individual cards. Each card can have independent alerts setup as well.
Cons: This will be intimidating for some people. The capability is high, but so is the investment at first.
Summary: I am impressed with Trello on many levels but I love how it integrates with all types of links and platforms very well. I find the drag and drop setup to be very intuitive even though you can get so deep into tasks and subtasks. It will take time to learn, but if you start with one board, one list, and a set of cards, the learning curve is manageable.

Morris Knolls Minute #4
A passion for learning drives Authentic classrooms
Empowering them [the students] will help any class or content area
The selection of curricular options at Morris Knolls is impressive. We have an incredible number of talented educators offering a range of courses each and every year. For our fourth installment, Jenny Benack came down to A-31 to talk about her offerings to the MK students and what drives her to continually revise and improve her classroom; and explain how she goes about empowering students to take ownership of learning and success.
Happy New Year Morris Knolls!
Every new year brings a season of contemplation about last year's successes and failures. While it is easy to zero in on our faults, we should always spend time reflecting on all of the positive impacts we have made as teachers. With the new year upon us, goal setting is in full swing throughout our society. Whether you are focused on personal goals or career goals, there are a number of ways to put your goals into action.
One of the more common strategies for student goals is the SMART goals process. This method has caught traction in schools all over the country and a number of our programs use the SMART framework to set achievement goals with students. I have found a couple different formats for SMART, but they all follow a similar line of thinking.
Why set achievement goals?
Implementing learning goals has shown to increase student achievement by an average of 75%. When students set relevant and achievable goals for themselves, opportunities are created to increase buy-in and participation. Goals set a destination for students to work towards and our teacher-created learning tasks will be the guide.
The following document is one template you could use to set a SMART goal in your classroom. The pdf version is printable, but not editable. If you would like to create your own prompts or edit the file, you will need to make a copy of this Google Doc.

Bad Retail Management 101
Simple Strategies for Being the Worst Store Manager You Can Be
For the genuinely determined, there are a number of creative ways to be a downright awful retail manager. Some ideas include:
- Whenever you give employees a pat on the back, affix a "kick me" sign.
- Post a notice suggesting that employees interested in making scheduling requests should first look over the choice of Amway products for sale in the break room.
- Replace the music currently played over the store's sound system with selections you've recorded on your home karaoke machine.
Unfortunately, most lousy store managers follow more tried-and-true paths to mediocrity. Retail experts say the following five bad practices are among the most common. Read, learn and avoid.
1. Assume Staff Members Have No Outside Lives
Since they tend to view their employees as little more than working automatons, bad managers think their staff should focus 100 percent of their attention on their jobs, says Les Stockett, store manager of the Bridgewater, New Jersey, Circuit City.
"These managers don't take associates' time away from work into consideration," he says. "But a lot of retail associates are going to school, for example. They need time for classes and homework. If you act like your store is the only thing that should be important to them, they'll see that as a lack of respect, and performance will suffer."
2. Treat Everyone the Same
On the surface, it might seem like a good idea to treat all your employees alike. That way you're not showing favoritism, right? Wrong, says Tim Connor, a sales and management expert and CEO of Peak Performance Institute. What you're really doing is failing to acknowledge them as individuals.
"Every employee has unique needs and desires, and they want to feel valued," says Connor. "Treating employees without regard for these personal needs sends a clear message that they are not special to you. If you want the labor of a person's heart and not just his hands, you must treat people with respect."
3. Don't Say Anything Nice
Connor uses the term "seagull management" to describe managers who fly around the store squawking loudly, stopping only long enough to dump on any employees within earshot before swooping off to another department. Seagulls deliver only bad news, never offering anything positive.
"One of the most common mistakes managers make is to combine too little positive feedback and recognition with poorly delivered negative feedback or discipline," Connor says. "You get the behavior you reward. If you don't like the behavior you are getting, don't just look at your employees; [look] at your management style, corporate culture and communications patterns to find the problem.
4. Don't Share Expectations
As Stockett points out, almost everyone has had the unpleasant experience of being reprimanded by a supervisor with no warning and no prior indication that anything was wrong.
"Employees often won't live up to expectations if you never tell them what you're looking for," Stockett says. "Take the employee who shows up a few minutes late for work every day. The store manager keeps letting it slide but inside is getting frustrated until one day it boils over, and he brings the associate into the back and chews him out. But the associate never knew he was doing anything wrong. To avoid this, managers need to be consistently setting and resetting expectations."
5. Be a Bad Role Model
"Do as I say, not as I do" is a favorite motto of bad managers. Expecting a certain behavior from staff members that you can't be bothered to exhibit yourself is a terrific way to turn employees against you, Stockett says.
"If you tell associates to smile and say 'hi' to every customer who walks in, but you don't do it, you're going to get pushback," Stockett says. "Good leaders are good role models. This doesn't mean you have to be able to do everything associates do. But when it comes to basics like showing up for work on time, being friendly to the customer and staying productive, as a manager, you have a responsibility to be a proper role model."

Mathew 18: 19-20
"I also tell you this: If two of you agree here on earth concerning anything you ask, my Father in heaven will do it for you. 20 For where two or three gather together as my followers, I am there among them."
The sincere agreeement of of two people in prayer is so powerful because Christ's Holy Spirit is with them. Two or more believers filled with the power of the Holy Spirit will pray according to God's will, not thier own. We count it an honor to pray and believe God's word with you. Now is the time for believers to unite together in prayer delcaring God's truth will prevail. Thier is comfort for us when we know other believers are praying with us. So we encourage you to send your prayer requests and allow us to pray and be a part of your miracle.
We also want to rejoice with you for all God is doing in your lives.
Send us your praise report & we will rejoice and thank Him together!

" You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good." (Genesis 50:20) This short phrase captures the "lower and upper stories" that dominate the life of Joseph.
The story of Joseph (Genesis 37-50, or chapter 3 of The Story) includes people behaving badly, perhaps even Joseph, though I think he does come off pretty much a person living into what he believes is God's purpose (dream) for him. He is richly blessed by being rescued two times (from pit and prison) and both times God allows him to be used (a blessing) to bless many others; first Potiphar's house and then to Pharaoh's kingdom (and thus the world). This fulfills Genesis 12:1-3 where God promises that through Abraham he will bless "all peoples on earth."
This wonderfully told story served God's people down through time as a reminder of the incredible ways of God, who at times allows what seem to us as awful events, to be used in his "upper story" to fulfill his promise to bless his people, and through his people the world.
There is also a sub theme of Joseph's weeping over his brothers, as Jesus later weeps over Lazarus and then even later over the people of Jerusalem.
Joseph is forgiving, even as Jesus comes later to forgive his brothers (us) for our unbelief and sin.
Joseph blesses those outside the current family of God even as Jesus comes to bring blessing to Israel, but then extends that grace to all nations.
This great story seems to me to be a story designed by God to lift before us his intent that we honor him always, live into our purpose as richly blessed people, even in our "dark nights", knowing that he has a greater purpose for us if we only stay faithful and true to his promises.
I also love his admonition to his brother in 45:24 as he sends them back to Jacob, "don't quarrel on the way!" Good advice from one brother to another.
Key verses for this Sunday
Genesis 45:7-8a 7 God sent me ahead of you to preserve for you a remnant on earth and to save your lives by a great deliverance.8 "So then, it was not you who sent me here, but God.
Genesis 50:20-21 20 You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives. 21 So then, don't be afraid. I will provide for you and your children." And he reassured them and spoke kindly to them.
Here's an audio file of the sermon if you missed it or want to hear it again.

Keeping It Clean
January 17, 2019
Keeping your body healthy and sanitary is a very important task. By staying healthy, you can spend your time to the fullest, and have the ability to feel great. Students miss school or are taken out of class due to many different illnesses every single day.
At Jonathan Alder High School, on the day of December 14th, 2018, "60 students were called off who are out sick, or at a doctor's appointments" said Mrs. Puckett, who keeps track of attendance at the high school. In addition, she said at least 10 to 20 students are signed out midday at Jonathan Alder.
Some ways to avoid being sick is to try and maintain a healthy environment. Aaron Knox, a sophomore at Jonathan Alder, said, "I really like to clean around my room, I like to have sheets on my bed changed and things wiped off." Keeping these type of things on a chore list, like Aaron, can help you out. Sophomore Adam Wortman
says, "I like to help around the house, I vacuum, do the dishes, and clean my room, I also pick up trash whenever I see it outside."
Some great ways to keep clean are washing your hands, according to the Health24 main website, they say that you should wash your hands at least 7 times a day. Sanitizing objects around you to keep you from getting sick as well as picking up trash in your surrounding area help to the cause of a clean surrounding area. A utility you can use to clean is disinfecting wipes. According to Lysol's main website, their disinfectant wipes kill 99.9% of viruses and bacteria. Tissues, disinfecting sprays are also some things used to kill off bacteria and help keep a clean environment.
Tanner is a sophomore at Jonathan Alder High School. This is his first year of being part of the Pioneer Press team. He enjoys photography and hanging...

Harnessing the Power of Innovation on Offer in Living Labs for Your Company
Podcast by Katharina Greve and Veronica Martinez on her new joint research on Living Labs. [listen to podcast]
Katharina Greve and Veronica Martinez discuss their paper: 'Facilitating co-creation in living labs: The Josephs study', which is co-authored with Julia Jonas, Andy Neely and Kathrin Möslein.
- The definition of Living Labs
- What we know about Living Labs already
- How the study with Josephs was structured and carried out
- Who participated in the study and why
- When the five critical success factors to facilitate co-creation should be used
- Why the key findings of the study are important for other firms
- Where further research is needed
Key quotes:
"Interaction and engagement is one of the core principles of the Living Labs so they do everything to design the Living Lab to be interactive, they want to engage the customer. They try to engage playful elements to make them touch and try out these prototypes and then they feed back. The fun aspect of it is really important and not only the customer interacts with the company but also the companies, among themselves, interact with each other.
"If the theme is smart living and you have five different companies that interact with smart living, then they probably have something in common and start a conversation among themselves as well. This way there is a different dynamic in co-creation happening one is towards the customer and one is firm to firm as well."
The five critical success factors are:
- Customer engagement
- Relationship management
- Operating principles
- The design
- The data collection
"We grouped these five categories and we identified 41 elements that are critical to the facilitation of co-creation in Living Labs. Ideally we would like to validate these findings and we see them as a guideline for future Living Labs and how they can be organised for what the set up can look like.
"It provides a framework to show how you can do this, supported by the current literature on this which interestingly does not focus on operating principles and data collection.
"Operating principles is a major component for companies as it outlines the concept and values of the Living Labs and how companies can engage with them and so is data collection as it is unique. Josephs is mainly concerned with operational goals and the relationship with the customer, and the data collection approach and the design layout. These are not normally extensively discussed.
"In contrast to the theory companies do want to obtain benefits from the Living Lab experience. There is not much agreement between theory and practice in regards to how co creation can be facilitated in Living Labs which is why we need further research on this."

Lower Manhattan Real Estate Market Overview, Q2 2018
August 2018
The Alliance for Downtown New York is pleased to release the Q2 2018 Lower Manhattan Real Estate Market Report providing a review of commercial office, retail, residential, hospitality and development projects.
Major findings include:
- Commercial Leasing - Leasing activity reached its highest level since Q2 2011, with 1.9 million square feet of new leasing, buoyed by large deals at Brookfield Place and the World Trade Center.
- Capital Projects - 3 World Trade Center opened to large fanfare on June 11th, with 38 percent of the tower being leased. Public plazas opened around the office tower and Oculus, providing pedestrians more open space.
- Hotel - Two hotels opened, the Assemblage on John Street and Mr. C Seaport at Peck Slip. There are currently 7,118 hotel rooms in Lower Manhattan.
- Retail - Sky-high restaurants, sleek cocktail bars and casual eateries opened around the neighborhood. Pier 17 opened to the public in the Seaport District and will welcome restaurants and shops this fall.
- Residential - The Woolworth Residences began closings. Residential sales metrics continued to return to typical averages as the legacy contract pipeline emptied at high profile, luxury properties.

You don't talk sh*t about The Great One and not expect consequences.
In a recent interview with Muscle And Fitness, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson admitted comments made by John Cena back in 2012 were enough to make their rivalry real.
John had said some things in an interview that I took exception [In essence, that the Rock cared only about being an actor not about wrestling or WWE fans]. He felt they were okay, I felt that they weren't okay.
This isn't something that hasn't happened before in the sports entertainment industry, but whenever the lines are blurred between the WWE universe and actual reality, it's must-watch television.
But, just how real did things get for everyone backstage and around the two as the wrestlers geared up for their epic clash? According to The Rock, very uncomfortably real.
It got really uncomfortable for a lot of people. And it gets uncomfortable for the fans – that they sense something. But then when it gets uncomfortable for the wrestlers and to the executives and the company, then it's something special.
The two are, of course, good friends today and have since squashed their beef, but fans watching their rivalry between Wrestlemania 28 and Wrestlemania 29 witnessed some of the realest sports entertainment ever -- guys who actually hated each other!
I'd say 'John, here's what I'm going to say tonight: Go f*ck yourself.' He'd say, 'Well, here's going to be my response: F*ck you, too.' I mean, it was like that. And it was palpable for the fans, and it was palpable backstage. And I would never be like that under any other circumstance. I'm collaborative with everyone I work with.
Luckily, both men decided to not let their egos get the best of them and stuck to the script.
That doesn't take away from the fact that, according to Johnson, the two nearly came to blows both backstage and in the ring.
But in this case, it worked out very well and through all that edge and attitude and bite that we had and nearly coming to blows backstage and one night in the ring — literally we were nose-to-nose, it was any second. And through that in a crazy, weird completely unexplained way, we became great buds.
To put it best, The Rock was testing Cena and making sure he had what it took to be a champion.
The two were willing to push their WWE commitment to the next level by creating actual disdain for each other, and it paid off.
He's a great guy. He's one of the best guys out there, but here's what we realized: If we wanted to build the two biggest matchups back-to-back and create something special in Miami and in New York, we're going to do it this way. And we might fail miserably at it. People might think it's not real or you run into the challenge of the potential for people to go, 'It's so real that it's not real.'

Great service and array of dishes to choose from.
The food was excellent, really impressed with the quality and variety on the menu. Could have ordered everything. The team were really friendly and kept their distance when serving the table. Will go back.
Sensational food and the waiter was amazing! Excellent service!
Amazing food as always!
Great, attentive service and the staff all full of smiles.
Another great experience
Always a lovely time at Shackfu I'm so happy to see it open again. I've been dying for their famous chicken wings for the last few months. Thanks for a lovely time as always guy.
Lovely food and lovely people, will definitely be bringing some friends there again !
Food was delicious, fantastic variety of flavours. The wings, prawn toast, aubergine and bass were the stand outs.
Didn't at all feel like you were restricted or being treated differently because of covid regulations - If anything the service was better then ever! Very helpful and attentive and the food was outstanding as always. Do wish they would have a slightly knocked down price for if people do not want the bottomless booze with their brunch, however, the value for money on the quality and quantity of food can not be knocked.
My favourite restaurant in London. The food is phenomenal, service is faultless and I can't praise it enough.
The small plates are divine, especially the sea bass ceviche
amazing food, good vibe and lovely service. definitley recommend
Great food, welcoming front of house after a long break without restaurants!
We had the tasting menu between two and it was delicious. We expected really tiny portions but actually the 4 courses were quite filling. So many different flavours and colours. The staff were really on the ball. We visited this restaurant on 4th July, the day the lockdown lifted for restaurants. On arrival there was a hand sanitizer station, disposable menus, reminders on the floor and walls but it didnt take away from the experience. It made us feel safe and excited to be out.
Given it was the first day restaurants were open since lockdown, the staff were absolutely fantastic and we felt very looked after. They made sure to ask us at the end of the meal how we thought they had adapted to these difficult circumstances, and whether there was anything they could have done differently which was really appreciated. The food was also absolutely fantastic. The waiter was also extremely helpful in recommending which dish to go for. The miso aubergines and katsu curry were a highlight, especially the presentation of the katsu curry.
Loved the Korean Chicken Wings and Miso Aubergine. Great Japanese small plates
All the staff we encountered were amazing, there was hand sanitizer available on the bar as you walk in. Our waiter said it had been quiet due to the virus that day. The food was amazing, the duck bun, salmon tacos and most of all the iberico pork.
Great deal, nice wine, the service is great, the staff are perfectly attentive.
Brunch was delicious and excellent value! Highly recommend the prawn toast, chicken wings and Irish beef
The rabbit katsu, sukiyaki and french toast were standout. We ordered about a third of the whole menu between and it was all very good. The sushi was good but nothing special.
Get. The. Dessert. You will not regret it, I promise you
Always amazing and the French toast is insane. We'll be back as soon as possible.
Incredible food, although one of the Iberico Katsu dishes ordered had severely overcooked pork and quite burned panko breadcrumbs. This was swapped to another load of meat but it was still the same.
Crab and hot rice dishes were fantastic! I love all the side dishes and the bao buns, too.
Everyone else really enjoyed their meals, too, aside from that pork.
Friendly staff and was treated to a free french toast, as it was my birthday. I don't have a huge sweet tooth but the toast was incredible!!
Overall absolutely incredible food and friendly staff, this is my second trip here but tonight I feel like I'd been tricked, there was a party of 3 of us who'd arrived with the intention of getting the tasting menu x 3 at £35 each. The waiter explained that because of the number of the part against the portion numbers he could 'sort us the same food from the tasting menu from the a la carte menu and save us some money' so we obliged. We'd had this food plus a cocktail each and ended up with a bill of£186 as the portion prices were different?. We were absolutely astounded at how this had flown above the estimated price.
So I'm torn in my review. The food was fantastic, everything delicious but the price was eye wateringly high from what we'd expected and essentially been ushered into by the waiting staff.
Excellent food like Japanese tapas. Good service. Great atmosphere. Not cheap a great and enjoyable meal.
Dear Guest, Thanks for leaving a review for us and letting us know you enjoyed your recent visit to Shackfuyu. I'd suggest coming back at try our amazing 3-course Pre-theatre menu available daily until 18:45pm for only £22 per person. Looking forward to welcoming you again soon. Kind Regards,
We had the tasting menu and the food was fantastic. But the service was awful - we were served by various staff and they all just rushed past, dumping things on the table. Our order was not listened to properly so the sake flights we asked for didn't arrive. At over £100 for two I expect much better, I don't care how tasty the miso aubergine is.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time in sharing your review with us. It is certainly disappointing to hear your experience was overall not very satisfying. Shack Fuyu is certainly committed to providing its guests with the highest quality of customer care. Apologies for the inconvenience caused, I have investigated and addressed the issues you have raised with the team. Hopefully we will see you in the near future.
A group of six of us had a bottomless brunch last Sunday afternoon. Not only it was a great value for money but also had a outstanding time there. It started with a welcome drink of Strawberry bellini or Yuzu Kosho Bloody Mary, then bottomless white, red wine or prosecco throughout the meal. They have plenty of interesting small dishes to choose from before a main plate. The food was really good but service was even better! The staff was so friendly and attentive. Our glasses were never empty. Also we were all big eaters but the staff were so lovely Also they let us stay a lot longer than we were supposed to! Everyone in my group thanked me for finding this amazing place. We are all definitely going back bringing different friends or families next time. Highly recommend this restaurant.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time in sharing your review with us and letting us know that you experienced a lovely service and enjoyed the quality of our brunch menu. I will be sharing your amazing feedback with the team. Kind Regards,
Server told us to order 3-4 dishes per person (there were 5). She did not mention that all the food would arrive simultaneously including hot & cold food. No room on the table for everything and drinks! The food itself was underwhelming (I have eaten at other Bone Daddie venues). Pork belly dry not crispy, squid pieces tiny and overcooked. Other than the cerviche, really disappointing.
Dear Guest, Thanks for sharing your review. It certainly saddens me to hear your experience hasn't met our usual high standards on this occasion. I will definitely take your comments on board and highlight them to our Head Chef and the Team who will look into a much better execution of the food next time. We would like to apologise for the inconvenience this has caused to you and your guests. Kind Regards,
Excessive table turning (we were there for little over an hour) despite there being plenty of free tables. Hurried us along half an hour before our table was up and then brought the bill without us asking for it.
Dear Guest, Thanks for sharing your review, I was very sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with us, please be rest assured it is not our intention to make you feel rushed, as we always strive to be attentive to every guests needs. Unfortunately our Restaurant policy is very strict in terms of timing as we always get extremely busy. I truly hope this hasn't affected your overall view of Shackfuyu. Kind Regards,
Food was decent, could have been given a bit more advice on portion size as the starter was very small. Bao bun was delicious but served on a paper that stuck to the bun so that was disappointing (just put it on a plate) I think our server was new so I was a little flustered. Overall was nice and pleasant. Would go again.
Dear Guest, Thanks for your review and providing us with this feedback for us to use constructively and move forward as a business. On behalf of the restaurant, I do apologise, I will definitely take your comments on board and highlight them to our team. Kind Regards,
My friends and I love the dessert here. Fried squid was too salty though and sushi was ok nothing special.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time in sharing your review with us. It is certainly disappointing to hear your experience was overall not very satisfying. I hope on your next visit you come away completely satisfied. Kind Regards,
Food was outstanding, service was quick and super friendly. Will defo come back again
Dear Guest, Thanks for your fabulous feedback and letting us know that you experienced a quick and super friendly service from start to finish and enjoyed the quality of our food. Looking forward to seeing you again soon.
We had a lovely time at a delicious brunch - great food, especially the temaki and buns, and great drinks!
Dear Guest, Thanks for your fabulous feedback and for letting us know that you enjoyed our delicious brunch. We hope to welcome you back soon to Shackfuyu.
Overall very good.
However, we were going to be late for our booking and I tried calling to say, but no one picked up.
We turned up and happily seated elsewhere given we were late, but had a frosty reception to say the least from the chap at the entrance.
We were late as we just got engaged, he didn't seem to care!!!
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time in sharing your review with us. Unfortunately we get fully booked everyday, especially for brunch so our slots are very strict in terms of timing. We would like to apologise for the inconvenience this has caused to you and your guest and also to congratulate you both on your engagement and we wish this episode will not deter you returning to Shackfuyu again.
Great food choices, service was friendly but space was a bit limited in the restaurant though so kept being pushed by waiters and other diners as they walked past
Dear Guest, Thanks for sharing your review, I am sorry to read you had some negative aspects to your experience and I hope on your next visit you come away completely satisfied. Kind Regards,
Nice decor, slightly uncomfortable chairs, great food. Tuna Tacos were delicious, veggie katsu curry was great. Service very friendly but a bit slow for the mains. Would definitely recommend.
Dear Guest, Thanks so much for leaving such a lovely review, I will definitely take your comments on board and highlight them to our team. We look forward to welcoming you on another occasion so we can manage to fully exceed your expectations. Many Thanks,
Great meal as always!
Dear Guest, Thank you for your feedback, I'm so pleased to read that you've enjoyed your meal. We hope to see you again soon.
I am finally a convert to Japanese food - well, Shack-Fuyu style at least. Smart restaurant, friendly service, just off Charing Cross Road, close to Foyles Bookshop. Service was un-rushed & helpful. Great ambiance. The food? Loved the Hot Stone Rice - both the beef & the veggie. Also loved the Korean fried wings. Finished off with the legendary Kinako french toast & soft ice cream. Washed down with lovely plum wine. We'll be back!
Dear Guest, Thanks for leaving a review and for letting us know you had such a wonderful time. Our team at Shackfuyu, look forward to welcoming you back! Kind Regards,
One of my favourite restaurants in London. I would recommend it to all my friends

Jason Freeman shares a secret about the Bluff City Backsliders 20th anniversary show and record release party.
"Technically last year was our 20th anniversary," the singer and guitar picker admits. "That's why we recorded the record at Sun last year. So, even though this is actually our 21st year, we're calling it our 20th because of the record."
However you choose to count the time, the Backsliders have been making vintage music fresh for a long time now. The group's first release was a collection of blues standards originally written or popularized by artists like Cab Calloway, Chester Burnett, W.C. Handy, Charlie Patton, and Blind Willie McTell. The sound was part jug band, part woozy New Orleans gut bucket, and all modern Memphis.
"This new one's kind of like the first record with traditional arrangements of old stuff. But this one's different because we also do have originals," Freeman says. "Normally what we're all about is taking those old songs and reinventing them. But this time I wrote a track, and [original Backslider] Michael Graber also wrote a track."
What's the secret to the Backsliders' longevity? Graber says it's the, "sheer love of the music. And looking at the music and making music as the taproot of joy. It's just like making medicine — a healthy, creative act.
"Or ignorance," Freeman says. Cue the kazoo!
