Learning from Ss during focus group into safe tree climbing. How do you know you are/are not climbing safely - what does it feel like? Ss seem competent assessing risk while climbing depending on the environment. How do we translate this into whole school guidelines/policies?

@kjinquiry @terjeakke I thought of Karolina right away! She is not of Twitter though is she?

Looking for any examples of school safe tree climbing practises/ guidelines, even better if they are co-created with students. Any ideas @jforsythe08 @terjeakke @JenFriske?

#Spontaneousinquiry= dropping everything to take advantage of the hail. I wonder why it hailed today? What will happen if I put a piece under the tap? How long will it stay ice?

Finally found a use for all the leftover foreign currency from our travels. Provocation into money with 1/2. Wondering, sorting, making connections, counting, playing. #bpsinquiry

@marc_warwick I would add- the ability to and experience with building meaningful community connections and using them to design authentic learning experiences connected to curriculum. #servicelearning

Leah Lehtsalu@LeahLeht·1 Nis

Yes! And how to ensure these meaningful, reciprocal community connections that have been established endure, even after that ‘someone’ has moved on.

Sam Sherratt@sherrattsam

Every school needs someone who can make connections between the learning inside the school with the community outside the school, connecting kids and their ideas, thoughts and plans with people and organizations in the community who acting on ones that are similar or the same.

Great provocation for treating MAB blocks flexibly. Could be used to inquire into decimals or ‘if the smallest block = 5 what do you spy?’

Berkeley Everett@BerkeleyEverett

Let’s play “I spy” - but you can’t say 124. I’ll go first. I spy 62. Do you see it? (I used all the blocks!) Your turn.

Education is about developing an identity as a learner. The goal isn’t to complete an assignment. It’s to be a thinker. The goal isn’t to get a right answer. It’s to be a questioner. The goal isn’t to read a book. It’s to be a reader.

Yes!! ‘Memorizing your multiplication tables is not the holy grail of mathematics success, number fluency and flexibility that leads to automaticity is’

If a teacher values students' suggestions - there will be 'cultural artifacts' in mathematics too: Miguel's question, Maria's conjecture, Sophia's method...

‘as more and more jobs are becoming mechanized, so-called soft skills — which include persistence, stress management and communication — are seen as a way to make humans irreplaceable by machine.’

Research has found that people who are emotionally skilled perform better in school, have better relationships and engage less frequently in unhealthy behaviors. t.ted.com/bWQLk2g
