How do we navigate disagreement twd understanding? Many of us are preparing to spend time with family members who hold different beliefs than we. Here are some ideas we at @columbusmuseum developed for discussing social issues thru art, keeping listening at the center.

Collecting seeds this morning I caught an unexpected (to me) herbal fragrance from blanket flower. A very visual person, it reminded me of the importance of noticing with all the senses we have access to.

@magmidd My first thought was "oh, instead of 'Men's' and 'Women's' we have 'Cute' and then everyone thinks of themselves as cute in that momebt

Forget everything I've written about bathroom signage just read this

The @columbusmuseum is such a special place for so many reasons. The art, the people, the space. It also houses an education department that is challenging the status quo of what schools can be. Do yourself a favor & take a look around columbusmuseum.org/resources/ #teachers

@_JasonBlair I know you aren't only talking about preparing students for work, but I just have to emphasize how critical your point in for the workforce and and for the future. People need to collaborate well in ways that put the resulting impact ahead of credit hoarding (achievement mindset)

Competition can be healthy & drive us to be better. But… our schools are set up to favor isolated individuals competing for a label/award. Leaving ss & ts to feel judged & valued based on labels. If schools were set up to be spaces of collective achievement there are…

@_JasonBlair @MealeyLaffs And helping foster student understanding & investment in quality. When you leave school there's no GPA or scoring rubric, you need to be able to produce high quality work. Not to mention originality and imagination, which the GPA system undermines (crucial re AI)

@MealeyLaffs I think that’s the point. Everyone is doing it because it has become part of the culture. I think this all changes as AI becomes more ingrained in Ed. We start to see success is about thinking creatively, achievement as a collective act over individual- the depth of

Toxic achievement culture. Research shows how devastating this culture is to everyone. Why do we still perpetuate it? Our schools need to exercise more long term thinking & recalibrate success. Success is best told by a story not a data point. #jb2324
