Everyone needs to explore, investigate, tinker with, and have fun with ideas. Robert Fulghum inspires me work from a more inquisitive center. This is my wish for anyone who hasn't been in Kindergarten for a really long time.

"Just because theyβre not sitting at a desk with a book and pen in front of them doesnβt mean theyβre not learning. They are learning, you can see it every time they workshop and solve a problem. Theyβre learning through doing." @NLESDCA

The @NLTeachersAssoc will not stand silently by while our members are attacked for being who they are and for creating safe learning spaces for their students. 2SLGBTQ rights are human rights. The mis- and dis-information circulating is grounded in hate. 1/3 @GSDSIC

Simon Sinek's work on starting with Why has helped shape a lot of ideas about Leadership. I think though there is a critical element missing. My blog this week briefly looks at starting with Who.

What is ungrading?
"Ungrading" means raising an eyebrow at grades as a systemic practice, distinct from simply βnot grading.β The word is a present participle, an ongoing process, not a static set of practices.

See the WORLD as curriculum: "... push [the] boundaries of imaginings of who our students can become. Curriculum must not only connect to the world, but must also disrupt hurt, harm, and pain in the world."

When students direct their own learning experiences, their voices are valued and teachers learn alongside them.

Horrific. THOUSANDS of Ukrainian children have been taken by Russia - with many sent to re-education camps to replace their love of Ukraine with "a love of mother Russia"
