“Now they’re using that language because we’re giving them experiences they wouldn’t otherwise have.” That’s what knowledge building does. It gives students access to words, ideas, and the world. #KnowledgeMatters #HistoryMatters #SchoolTour

The most important skill for creativity is no longer original thinking. It’s taste and tenacity. In the age of AI, ideas are abundant. Good judgment and execution are scarce. The future belongs to those who excel at finding and amplifying the signal in the noise.

I think less transactional classrooms, ones that operate in inquiry mode, are better at creating authentic, organic conversations where students make meaning and build connective knowledge. "Efficiency" may be a trade-off, but there is deep learning value in those conversations.

That's a wrap on #KAST26 The BEST Week of the year for Digital Learning Coaches. So many great ideas to share with our teachers. @RowanSchools @KentuckyDLC #neverstoplearning

PBL isn't about students "discovering" knowledge on their own, despite what critics say. It’s a vehicle to help them see why that knowledge is important and how connecting it helps them solve a real-world challenge or create something of value. wegrowteachers.com/consulting/pro…
