Not all criticism is constructive. Not all critics are thinking critically.
Weak critiques attack your identity. Decent critiques challenge your ideas. Strong critiques sharpen your thinking and improve your ideas.
Listen closely to the people who care enough to help you grow.

For anyone feeling that student disrespect and lack of motivation are on the rise, this conversation with @AlexSVenet about unconditional positive regard may be just what you need. cultofpedagogy.com/unconditi… #classroommanagement

When teachers experience learning in new and authentic ways, they can create meaningful learning experiences for students. A lot of reflection time and modeling took place.

These teachers modeled and leaned into joy, vulnerability, and ambiguity in a major way! I can't wait for our project tunings on Monday to see what they create! #beautifulwork

Our art teacher shares about the beautiful work she supports in the artist studio. By beautiful, I mean the most beautiful process work.
It's magical when students own their space like this and are supported to view themselves as creators. #arted chicocountryday.org/the-maki…

We welcomed 17 international educators from the Study of the U.S. Institutes for Secondary School Educator #SUSI and @ChicoState yesterday. It was a beautiful day of learning all around. They were most curious about PBL, CGI math, and hearing from our amazing 8th graders!

It's back!! A favorite @ChicoCountryDay tradition... Wonder Wednesday is a time for students to select their activity and move freely about the campus engaging in what they'd like to do. All staff offer activities and kids explore and play! #joy #play docs.google.com/presentation…

10 clues, 2 miles of walking, lots of smiles and laughter... #leavingtolearn success! Groups created artifacts to represent their journey at the end of the event. It felt great to connect, build something together, face some challenges, and PLAY! #weareccds #grateful

How do we learn together at CCDS? We're taking off in Bidwell Park tomorrow in teams of 5 with 8 clues to follow, materials to gather, and a task to build an artifact that represents the learning from the morning.

I'm also an added layer of excited because we actually had this all planned for March of 2020 and then you know, 2020. But we're doing it now and we're stoked!! #pbl #chicoca #professionaldevelopment

I also feel strongly that the learning we want to create for kids needs to be modeled in our learning experiences as adults. Creativity, grappling, collaboration, tools for getting unstuck, fun, play, showing our learning, having an audience - we're doing all the things tomorrow!
