“What if we could come to see schooling as strange and wonderful and full of possibility?” - Dr. Mark Fettes cultivateimagination.ca/2024/04/09/rei…
Day One celebration. This group of people who lead from the middle brought their amazing selves to the space and made the day profoundly meaningful. Can hardly wait for Day 2. #EESummit23
The value of Backward Design.
In working together, we work on ourselves. Thank you @natabasso
Enthusiasm is essential in learning. A student can have a wealth of skills, but if their heart is not fully present, they will feel unfulfilled. The word enthusiasm comes from Latin "de teos" meaning "from God.” When you learn enthusiastically, you nurture your true self.
NEW BLOG POST from @mrs_sparker on the Teachers on Fire Magazine: "I Never Thought of That Before."🔥 "A classroom culture must be created with students that allows them to be raw, vulnerable, and process their changed experiences out loud." READ MORE ⬇️ medium.com/teachers-on-fi…
“We remember that ‘assessment’ comes from the Latin verb ‘assidere,’ meaning ‘to sit with.’ Assessment activities should not be done by a teacher to a student but as collaboration and partnership.” 👏👏👏

“The middle is messy, but it’s also where all the magic happens, all the tension that creates goodness and learning.”@BreneBrown #ProudMiddleSchoolEducator
Each learner is rooted in deep curiosity & wonder. Those roots can be trampled but never detached. The roots grow stronger when they are cared for, nurtured & most of all- shared with others. Welcome back Middle School learners. Let’s start digging.
Christophe is a learner grounded in curiosity & faith. A pure, honest & natural visionary man. He will not just fly but soar. #ProudTeacher
“My learning takes place forward but is understood backwards.”-Grade 8 Student Today we virtually celebrated our learning & discussed areas of growth with our parents. #LeaveHereABetterMan
The principle that guides our learning is intention. Thought by thought, choice by choice, we are co-creating our learning on the basis of the energy of our intention. #LeaveHereABetterMan
“History has shown us that courage can be contagious & hope can take on a life of its own.”@MichelleObama Join the SS8 students & explore our #BlackHistoryMonth museum. docs.google.com/presentation/d…

Banning smartphones in schools is good for learning and well-being. New study of 400+ middle schools in Norway: after smartphone bans, girls had fewer mental health issues & better grades. Boys and girls were less likely to be bullied. Smartphones belong at home or in lockers.
The outcome of your PhD is not your dissertation, it's you.
I understand the whole “embrace the chaos” stream of PBL but I’m convinced you can have rules, procedures, expectations, deadlines, scaffolds, supports, and spaces of quiet and still do authentic PBL.
Happiness is not about reaching your goals. It's about aligning your goals with your values. Progress without purpose is empty. Achievement without impact is fleeting. Success is most rewarding when it serves the people and principles that matter to you.
Don’t mistake silence for apathy. When people are quiet, they’re often busy thinking and learning. Extraverts like to process ideas by talking them through. Introverts prefer to reflect before they speak. I'm not disengaged. I'm listening to your views and formulating mine.
Three things I'll be focusing on while trying to spark change in a district in central Cali... 1. Storytelling. 2. Challenging limiting beliefs about students. 3. Dialogue. What are your go-to moves to spark change?

No Blaming: Whether raising our own children, tending to our inner child, or working with students in the classroom, this reminder from Thich Nhat Hanh is golden.💛
When kids are deprived of play, their mental health suffers. Over the past 50 years, the time kids spend playing outside and inside has plummeted. They're missing opportunities to bond, build self-control, be creative, and feel joy. Free play is a key to happiness and growth.
Curiosity opens doors. Rather than fall into old patterns of knee jerk reactions or past experiences showing up in the present, entering a tense conversation with curiosity opens the mind to listening, to understanding, & to growing. Whatever the context, curiosity is the path.
Quietly listening is a strong form of communication. We don’t always need to be the one giving opinions. Sometimes creating space, giving attention, and validating someone else is more valuable than anything we could ever say.
Day One celebration. This group of people who lead from the middle brought their amazing selves to the space and made the day profoundly meaningful. Can hardly wait for Day 2. #EESummit23
Confused about the differences between standards, competencies, targets, proficiencies, and outcomes? Debating whether you should develop essential standards, critical standards, priority standards, or power standards? This may help: edweek.org/teaching-learn…
Sometimes we can simplify change…especially when we get focused, local and specific. What would it take for every child to ENJOY (to take delight in and benefit from) THIS SCHOOL, THIS CLASS, THIS ASSIGNMENT? We can ask ourselves these over and over. They’ll never get old.
Excited to spend the day facilitating 100 High School leaders from across the MetroVan in deep and important work. #alplearn
When I walk into a classroom, I first sense: 🤔 How much are students talking to each other? 🤔 What is the quality and depth of the conversation? 🤔 What is the richness and relevance of the content? If this architecture is in place, many elements can be added. #pedagogyofvoice
