What a beautiful gift to start the week. Putting it up in a prominent place has just gone to the top of the "to do" list. @ASD_West

We are embarking on a school wide postcard project in which all students & staff will write and send a postcard. We hope to reach all corners of the world. If you would like to receive a postcard and maybe send one in return, send me your address. Katie.saunders@nbed.nb.ca

@Hemphmib @mathewogreen @HargreavesBC Reading it too!

Fresh from the mail this morning. Looking forward to the read @mathewogreen @HargreavesBC

Teachers Need More Innovation, not More Innovations. My blog for @eduint based on my expert paper for the @UN High Level Panel on the future of teaching is here ei-ie.org/en/item/28147:… @CarolCampbell4 @DrRLofthouse @DianeRavitch @uOttawaEdu @MichaelFullan1 @pasi_sahlberg

@HargreavesBC @eduint @UN @CarolCampbell4 @DrRLofthouse @DianeRavitch @uOttawaEdu @MichaelFullan1 @pasi_sahlberg Great read. Excited to work alongside those who are innovative and changing the way we do education.

@CrystalRoberts_ @takemeoutside @ASD_West Thank you from Bath Community School @BathMonquarters

Tree delivery day for take me outside day next week! @takemeoutside @ASD_West

A fine end to a wonderful day. The marathon begins tomorrow morning. I am ready! #newschoolyear #adminmeetings #gratitude

Kids math data should be private. All those rocket ships and ice cream cones where they are in these competitive fluency races against each other does not motivate the ones who need it the most! Individual data binders where kids track their own data is what works!

Just discovered that Simon Sinek, Brene Brown and Adam Grant did podcasts together. Insightful and amusing. Can't get enough. @BreneBrown @simonsinek @AdamMGrant

@ksaund74 @HargreavesBC @Headteacherchat @jon_severs @MichaelFullan1 @RaeSnape @AASAHQ @malloy_john @PeterMDeWitt @acelaustralia @DianeRavitch @OPCouncil @BCPVPA This is why we get out of their way as leaders and not micromanage.

Here's the full 30 quotes from Leadership from the Middle posted last month. Which grabs you the most? Why? Compare choices with colleagues? @Headteacherchat @jon_severs @MichaelFullan1 @RaeSnape @AASAHQ @malloy_john @PeterMDeWitt @acelaustralia @DianeRavitch @OPCouncil @BCPVPA

I am working on a book in which a climactic scene takes place at an animal shelter that particularly caters to cats. I need a good name for it. Any suggestions? If I end up using yours, I will give you a shoutout in the book’s acknowledgements!

Yes!

@Hemphmib Not just teach social justice but model and provide opportunities for students to use their voice, or pen, or art, or music to speak up and confidently take an educated position knowing the difference between personal beliefs and human rights.

Congratulations to every teacher who has taught social justice. Well done.
