This past semester, the GR 8 studio cohort had the goal of telling stories that matter. Through research, ideating, and collaboration, they composed seven podcasts they believed our community needed to hear. Creative, Powerful, Vulnerable! @poolforschool open.spotify.com/show/4XCEWcYak…

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.

This tragedy is happening over and over again in leftist and progressive circles: important movements and charities die because of massive infighting. Because of a fixation on purity instead of results...

Urging people to be positive doesn’t boost their resilience. It denies their reality. When times are tough, we don’t need good vibes only. We need a hand to keep us steady through all the vibrations. Strength doesn’t come from forced smiles. It comes from feeling supported. link.chtbl.com/RTAdam

The purpose of liberal arts education is not to build your career. It’s to broaden your mind. You don’t have to justify a major based on job prospects. The only explanation necessary is “it interests me.” The true value of college is improving your ability to think and learn.

In school, time pressure on tests favors the fastest sprinters. But in life, success is a marathon. The students with the greatest potential aren’t always the ones who rapidly spit out the right answers. They’re often the ones who take the time to ask the right questions. nytimes.com/2023/09/20/opi…

Fantastic to see universities starting to rethink learning experiences for students. "Rather than the traditional general education coursework requirements, SOU students will take classes in six broad skill areas, or capacities" sou.edu/academics/gene…

Inspiring to see the @iborganization make such a bold move here towards more project-based, transdisciplinary learning! This pilot has huge potential, especially partnering with UWC. @JoeBonnici @KurtWittig

@theressa_smith @fdrinnovate @JoeBonnici @amisa_us @FDRHighSchool None of it would be possible without the leadership and support of forward-thinking leaders like you, @Chris_Akin, Kerry Jacobson, Russ Jones, and so many others. We have been able to trust and empower students because you trust and empower teachers! THANK YOU!

The Innovation Academy is turning 10 today!! @ColegioFDR @FDRHighSchool @cvtopf @theressa_smith @Chris_Akin @EduCotter @JoeBonnici

Only one day away! Join me tomorrow to learn about how we can connect more of our students and teachers around meaningful learning experiences. Time: 9 am to 10 am in Budapest / 3 pm to 4 pm in Hong Kong Streaming info: lnkd.in/du3yny_X #educhat #educationinnovation

I can't thank @deray enough for taking time out of his day to set up an interview with a GR 8 student who is exploring police reform for our "How do we bring about change in our community" project. It is an experience he will never forget! @CrookedMedia

1/7 As the years go by, fewer educators hear about one of the most important research findings of the 20th century, known as the Eight-Year Study. Back in the '30s, 30 high schools around the U.S. turned traditional practice on its head, especially for college-bound students...

This message from my principal made my day! What an absolutely awesome initiative! And of course it came from students. Thanks for helping those of us who make an effort to pronounce their names properly! #myNameMyIdentity #deij #studentvoice

@cvtopf @aisbudapest Awesome! I can’t wait to see what inspiring ideas your group comes up with.

I’m excited to ideate with our @aisbudapest teachers and staff today around new courses and pathways! #learningpathways #educhat #internationaled

Does anybody know if time spent teaching at international schools (schools where US Embassy sends students) counts towards the #PSLF waiver? @StudentLoanTrav?#studentloanforgiveness

@ChrisVernonShow NBA draft fix: Each team is awarded a salary slot based on their final record. Magic finished with the worst record this year they get a 10 million slot, OKC get 9.5 million etc. Have a 3 day signing period. Plus Spurs could have combined 3 slots to make one big offer this year?

Heyo, we are answering some listener questions for the Tuesday episode of The Mismatch. Reply or quote tweet here and we might answer it.

Many would think that going to and growing up in an intercultural school, surrounded by more than 1,900 students from over 70 different countries every day would make it easier to find your identity. Well, maybe it doesn’t. ⁠Listen more on bit.ly/TheJISpodcast

In this episode, two middle school students Sangji and Richard find out what it means to be “addicted” to technology, especially in this digital era of working and learning from home. They set out to explore their community’s relationship with video games and technology.

It's not just engagement that declines as students progress through schooling. Add creativity, enthusiasm, and asking questions to the list. @HumResPro #edchat bradlatzke.com/do-schools-rea…

Studio started 18 months ago, and today we finally had all 21 of us in one room together! It has been a great day! @poolforschool
