@ahoover6 @AdamMGrant Such important information! Thx.

@tarawaudby @tarawaudby Thx. Should be required reading for schools considering "innovation" or "strategic planning"! (Heard M. Horn @ NAIS!)

@tarawaudby Love this; but finding those priorities for oneself is quite the task.

#nesachat Thanks, AISR, for so much heavy lifting with this year’s Twitter Chats! Happy Summer to all.

#nesachat A7 @alexiswiggins Masks are okay as long as we know that we’re wearing them and why we’re wearing them.

#nesachat A7 “Perfect” is a chimera and speaks to a single way whereas beauty is in the variety of our individual uniquenesses.

@alexiswiggins: I could use more “calm”! <G>

#nesachat A5 & A6: ask ourselves/students’ parents: “whose needs are we talking about here: ours or the child’s?” Do WE need perfect kids?

#nesachat A5: how about saying “thanks for joining me on this learning journey; let’s see how far we get together this year?"

#nesachat @megyzr Get phrase: “answer getting”! <G>

#nesachat @alexiswiggins: “Forget the competitive game”: very counter-cultural … in a good way.

#nesachat Too much emphasis on ‘striving’, etc.: “the wheel is turning but the gerbil is dead”.

#nesachat @jhuggg Like “sufficient” in place of “enough”: better connotation.

#nesachat @tarawaudby The Hero’s journey ALWAYS takes her/him through a dark place where s/he is lost: the neutral zone!

#nesachat @megyzr Good food for thought: “enough” is different for each person and where he/she is on the path & her/his well being.

#nesachat A3 “Enough” should be determined by a human cost of the effort and the need to rest, reflect, recalibrate

#nesachat A3: if “healthy striving” is what we’re after, we’re always on a path. Q is: when do we get off the path to reflect & recalibrate?

#nesachat: Love including “reflection” in this discussion! Thanks, @jhuggg

@jhuggg LOVE that question about reflection. Does this enter into the equation of improvement? How does one improve w/o reflection?
