Innovation Academy

@fdrinnovate @ColegioFDR @FDRHighSchool @cvtopf @theressa_smith @EduCotter @JoeBonnici Completely … awesome! It started with a dream for a better way for young people to take the reigns of their own learning, exploration … discovery. And look where it’s gone!!!! Happy 10th anniversary IA!

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

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

So many of us in intl. schools are exploring new pathways & learning experiences for our HS students. Why are we doing this in isolation when we could be innovating together? I'm excited to explore this next Tuesday! Go here to learn more 21c.li/3fh?. #21cl

Got to catch up with my amazing grade 10 teacher this morning @JoeBonnici :) He runs the Innovation Academy program (@fdrinnovate) at the American School of Lima and it totally changed the way I viewed learning!! ⚡️🧠🎨 @ColegioFDR

UWCSEA Dover will be offering The Imperfect Art of Living beginning in August as part of our learning programme after piloting it with students for several years. It is a phenomenal course with huge impact students through peace education and building mea…lnkd.in/gep7iFqv

In May 2020, almost three years ago, we launched the IA Online with the video below! This summer, we're excited to run both a student course AND a teacher course. STUDENT COURSE: bit.ly/3n7Fdz9 TEACHER COURSE: bit.ly/3L8Ix4V youtu.be/YRd36LNo77U

How we define success is a source of happiness we control. 105 studies, 70k ppl globally: valuing extrinsic over intrinsic goals predicts lower well-being. Seeking fame, money, or beauty is a bottomless pit. Pursuing growth, kindness, trust, and health is a path to flourishing.

Great article, but the implications here go far beyond the five-paragraph essay. "This is a variation of Goodhart’s Law, which says: ‘When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure.’" #Echobox=1655789630" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">aeon.co/essays/writing… via @aeonmag

At FDR, we are big on community building and what better way to do it than through storytelling. For their project, the IA 9 students asked FDR community members to tell us a story that has changed their lives. They published those stories here: spoti.fi/3OBeQcO #FDRocks

@rae_frances @bowmaneducator Hi Rae, there are so many great takeaways here, and one that resonates a lot is that being curious about the stories of those we serve, makes us better versions of ourselves. Thank you for sharing this.

We're launching a fundraiser today for a great cause & we'd love your help. Please take a look at our GoFundMe page to learn more, & if you're able to give even $10 or $20, it would go a long way to helping us provide more IA Online scholarships: gofund.me/21861546. 🙏

We’ve upgraded our website and we’re so excited to share it with you all. We feel it captures the spirit of IA. A huge thank you goes to our designer @AldoCereghino for bringing our ideas to life: rooseveltinnovationacademy.com

This July we're connecting students around the world again through our Imperfect Art of Living course! And we'd love your help spreading the word. If you work with HS students, please share this Q&A link with them: bit.ly/3KuVc0m Thank you! youtu.be/ZQcJntAkrcs

Best Pd I've done in a while is sitting in on these sessions. Amazing program, connections made by students, and authentic purpose.

Blogging can be so therapeutic for teens. In "Videotape," Val tries to wrap her head around what it means to grieve for loved ones. The takeaway is an uplifting one: bit.ly/3m5QLPH @theressa_smith @FDRHighSchool
