Summary of my presentation at the Directors of Improvement conference today. (Strap in, it's a bit of a beast) ↓

For living without control God, I come to you as I am. It is all I have, really. And the next one I’m conscious of will be the same. I can feel the way I move, moment to moment, without the comfort of “solutions.” It seems wild to me now how I imagined any once-and-for-all cure for this, or a master plan to ensure things will work out. But, truth be told, that’s always been my secret hope. So, Lord, let’s try again. I’m begging for a new plan. I want a plan that is an “unplan.” I must keep moving and planning, trying and changing, knitting my days together even as they unravel. So can we do this together? Remind me to pray: come Lord and quiet the worry. I step, and you steady me. I give, and you keep my hands open. I act, and you fortify me with courage to try and try and try again. This life is uncertain, Lord, but your love is not. You tell the story of my life regardless of how little I know about how it ends, except to say, you were there since the beginning and you appear on every page.

EpiPens are toxic in space and NASA didn't know! In fact, a group of elementary school students figured it out. Here's the story 🧵

Congratulations to our very own KISD 5th Grade Math Teacher, Dawn Arrington, from @BearCreekIS - the @KellerISD IT'S Award Winner for February 2024! Check out her Building Thinking Classrooms learning environment at the link below! @pgliljedahl youtu.be/4SRtED6cgeo?si=kNj-…

You know what makes me angry? When I admit a patient with metastatic cancer who’s unlikely to survive… and if that patient had been able to access a family doctor and simple routine screening tests they would have been most likely cured months ago. Now it’s too late. This happens far too often. Not being able to access care sooner is absolutely killing people. It happens over and over again. It’s pretty pathetic for the billions of dollars we spend on healthcare.

#thinkingclassroom workshops with @pgliljedahl coming to Victoria BC Jan 11/24 and Feb 20/24. Register at tinyurl.com/smus-liljedahl or DM me for more information. Looking forward to learning. Please RT.

Getting ready for our young entrepreneurs mini-market next month. It’s exciting to see some kid-inspired businesses raising money for some special organizations that are close to their hearts. #connectedGEP #transformativeGEP @PCSVictoria @hyoungth

Such a great night for our community. Thank you @MissLowPCS and everyone who put so much energy into panning this event! Kids loved it.

Words matter Three parenting tips: 1. Let your children overhear you saying nice things about them. 2. Remember that your words become their internal voice. Be kind. 3. Talk nicely about others. When we point out the good in others, it becomes easier to see the good in others.

Peter Liljedahl and Maegan Giroux are publishing a book on K-5 tasks.

I went BANANAS when I first saw a #thinkingclassroom in action, so I was thrilled to have had the honor of interviewing @pgliljedahl on this week's podcast. (Thank you @Willmdunn for putting this on my radar!!) cultofpedagogy.com/thinking-… #mtbos

Getting ready for our Young Entrepreneurs Mini-Market Day by sanding, creating, gluing, etc. We are also writing letters to the organizations our profit will be going to at the end of this experience. @PCSVictoria @DarrenL_PCS @hyoungth @MrsLangleypcs @Owen_Webb

I know @MaeganGiroux will be so proud! Another K vertical task today. These Ss were amazing! They identified what makes collaboration go well, and not so (My drawings may need some work). Then they dug into, “how many cows and chickens if I counted 6 legs? 10? #sd23 @pgliljedahl

Practicing awe is a pathway to wholeness and connection. 🌱 @onbeing @kristatippett onbeing.org/programs/dacher-…
