I am so excited for your work!

There are a lot of great resources to connect to through the Cohort. Check out the work of…Read more

I wonder what @ckirsh @adamcaplan @cschindler can add to this conversation coming from three other “all girls schools”

Thank you for your response. The girls reflected on their timelines in their digital portfolios, and I posed the question of how they felt the technology either did or did not enhance their learning in this task. It was a bit of a mixed response, where some felt they enjoyed using technology as it allowed them to edit and…Read more

Evaluation is the toughest part of our job and where teachers are most vulnerable to criticism. It takes self confidence and an passion for improvement to share in this way. Thank you for also modelling what we want all of this years cohort to do. Share, reflect and question.…Read more

We have moved to a “Week Ahead” newsletter for all staff to ensure that Monday meetings are generative and productive. That any info that needs to me communicated goes into the “week ahead” and that meetings are used for ideas, decision making, problem solving and the like. Works well.

What do you do at your school?

I would love to see what you have to say about @cschindler ‘s action plan on the use of assessment as learning.

Great work,
garth.

We’ve all felt the push back from students. It’s way easier for them to sit back and disengage and study for a test when the time comes, which is why passive learning is attractive to some students. In times like these it’s important to lean on people in your PLC or your PLN. I am sure @cschindler had your back and I can imagine that…Read more

Thank you so much for your comment and for the vote of confidence! I’ve submitted my proposal for the first topic suggestion – it’s something that I’m more passionate about, and you’re right: the presentation will be far more engaging and useful for the attendees if I’m excited to talk about it! I’ll let you know if it gets…Read more

Thanks for this awesome post with so many great resources! I love the video introduction to Positive Psychology and I’m going to share it with my advisees, who are practicing mindfulness. In particular, I found the piece about “flow” to be interesting. We often talk about “engagement” in our classrooms, but I think what we are really…Read more

I really enjoyed my afternoon coffee break with @ehitchcock as well – definitely a ripple effect, Ed! – this idea of standards based grading has made me consider alterations to what our school is exploring for next year’s STEM cohort of Gr. 11 students.
