Once upon a classroom, I judged my work by student engagement with content. And (I thought) I was good at it. Now, I judge my work by student engagement with each other. And every day I work to get better at it. Content matters(ish). Connections matter most. Our world is overfull of information. It starves for connections. Time for the Age of Connection. Maybe more than ever. #Project180

Why, as Lillian Weber once put it, do most kids "begin school as an exclamation point and a question mark [but then] leave as a plain period"? My new Ed. Week commentary: "Less and Less Curious": alfiekohn.org/article/curios…

🙌 We can't boast about having an outstanding school or program if we only admit the #students who are already performing well. Their success isn't a measure of our instruction--they were going to succeed regardless of the instruction. #LeadInclusion #EdLeaders #Educators #UDL

2/2 I'm always delighted to talk with such administrators and teachers - those who realize that euphemisms like "holding the student accountable" or imposing a "consequence" are just rationalizations for punishment. And that punishments, like rewards, only make things worse.

A light-bulb moment for me was realizing that much of the talk about student "motivation" (how to boost it or why a given kid lacks it) is really code for talking about compliance: the extent to which students do whatever they're told without question.

@BarbLarochelle Haven’t eaten a cherry for decades. The last time I tried one my throat swelled up.

This year the Evans cherry tree finally produced enough to make something with the fruit (and not just let our teen forage in the yard as usual). My husband picked a bunch and I was pitting them, when my eyes suddenly started to itch and puff up! 1/2

@natabasso The system doesn't look to amplify and elevate talent unless that talent can be directly linked to the system itself.

@teachbk I agree with you. I was shocked as a new teacher decades ago when an “award winning” teacher was referring to a student as a “waste of skin”. It’s the same for any job. I’m sure there are people in all professions who disrespect their clients or patients in the same way.

I’ve lost multiple teacher friends over the way they choose to talk about children and I called them out on it. There are lines we just shouldn’t cross

This is an incredibly helpful analogy. Genes are genes until gender is on the table. Then it gets real ugly.
Caroline@carolinekwan

Michael Phelps is literally referred to as a freak of nature because of his disproportionate wingspan, double jointed ankles, lung capacity twice that of an average human, body that produces half the lactic acid of a typical athlete, and he is rightly celebrated for being the greatest male swimmer in history. Meanwhile, female athletes with genetic differences are legally discriminated against and harassed to no end. This is not about “protecting women in sports” - this is about protecting a very specific idea of what a woman is.

@ian_doktor Her research has also demonstrated how scientists followed the wrong path for best predicting fires for decades and are having a hard time adjusting to new research, let alone policy makers and government.

@mandmpoulin If only decision makers would listen to experts instead of assuming because they won a popularity contest they are somehow experts in everything.

Honestly, I don't have the patience for anyone who says that the tragedy I Jasper could have been averted if the government had just done X or of forest management was different. Unless you've been on the front lines fighting fires or spent decades studying forest management

2/2 In case you didn't notice, I slipped in two distinctions there for the price of one: 1) rigorous ≠ engaging; 2) intellectual goals - and the corresponding teaching strategies - differ markedly from those that are merely academic. (This recognition can transform schooling.)

A focus on increasing "rigor," "raising the bar," demanding "higher standards," etc. usually means teaching the same sorts of things in pretty much the same way, except now with fewer students being able to succeed.
