@SAlmekinder This looks amazing! So much fun!

@rosspconnelly @AISChennai Ha! @marykellyb was just asking about the song! Do we have a recording of this beautiful piece anywhere?

@AISChennai @ula_kon isn't there a song about this "Stinky Pond"?

#AISCGrade7 Social Studies class has taken over our Middle School Twitter handle! Follow the #AISCSocialResponsibility to see what they have to say on this matter! #TwitterTakeover

@intrepidteacher @msnramani Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

@de_fine speaking truth @CISEducation I-DEA w'shop community. Paraphrasing: We can’t be all things for all people. We have to prioritise the needs of our students. We appeal to the ego, fragility and comfort of the adults. We need to recenter the kids & do what is best for kids.

@EstherMDaniels @_MahaAlRomaih @WomenEd @WomenedMENA We had one @AISChennai during our new staff orientation created by local experts.

How many international schools conduct cultural sensitivity training to support their new staff? ‘We should embrace the culture we live in and try to understand where everyone is coming from’ @_MahaAlRomaih @WomenEd @WomenedMENA

@TheWeirdTeacher Happy birthday! In Poland we have a proverb saying that ‘life starts after 40’.

I'm 40 today. I thought 40 was supposed to feel old. It sounds old.

We have exciting news we want to share- and a free resource- in the world of playful inquiry! The opalschool.org site is now a free professional development site for educators! Thanks to the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation!

How do we consider the full humanity of all children we teach when our own school experiences have jeopardized our personhood? #ELE21 keynote presenters, @MisterMinor & @MsKass1 help us build something we may not have seen or experienced ourselves, as young people. Join us!

@KanakoSuwa @MsReyna2 @innovative_inq I think it’s called ‘Slip and Slide’

I remember seeing someone tweet about a #chrome extension that allows us to add slide decks to students copies after we’ve assigned it on Google classroom… anyone remember what it was called?! #edtech @MsReyna2 @innovative_inq ????

@nancysnyder0218 @SAlmekinder simply beautiful.

@NQCLiteracy Beautiful! Thank you.

Hey DEIJ educators in progress! I’ll be facilitating a virtual book club for intl school educators and alum who are interested in learning about and reflecting on systemic racism in intl schools. Grab a book, follow #GUITBookClub and join our slow chats from wherever you are!

At school, inclusion through Diversity, Equity and Anti-racism means that all the educators in the building teach for Learning Support, Language Acquisition, Wellbeing and decolonising the History of their subjects. I call this exciting and transformative.

@expatheather @VargeLe @mkhan1491 I’m partial to the Balkans so anything set there gets my heart :) Would also recommend The Border by Kapka Kasabova.

@ula_kon @VargeLe @mkhan1491 I so appreciate it when the place feels alive, like a character rather than a backdrop. Will have to check those out!

What are books you've read more than once? Just finishing The Sympathizer for the second time, this time as an audio book. Such a rich exploration of identity, language, politics, allegiances and desires. Even better the second time!
