In particular, the student artwork depicting what anxiety can look like in schools is compelling. I think that some of the big concepts we ask students to grapple with can feel less daunting if we explore them through multiple lenses. What are your top tips…Read more

You have hit upon the educators nerve. Or nervousness. My own evolving conclusions to this perennial problem are fascinating to me. I have found myself on both sides of the mark/no mark fence more often than I care to ponder. I stand by hybrid models because I don’t believe any silver bullet solutions are out there to solve this…Read more

There are some great resources – https://casel.org/what-is-sel/ and https://casel.org/core-competencies/
Mapping it against your curriculum is a year over year task. I love that you have started this journey. I wonder what other school are doing in this…Read more

The challenge you’ve set to build self-awareness among your students through empathy is a very worthy one and I see you model that everyday! Keep it up!

Just, wow! The environment you’ve “fostered” in your classroom with your students is remarkable. It’s incredible how your students are able to influence their own learning journey through familiarizing themselves with the curriculum, co-constructing success criteria, personalizing their learning and pursuing improvement through feedback…Read more

You raise a good question that I think will be one of my next goals – to collect and share out some of the innovative things that are already happening; @jmedved shared some excellent examples with me at the last F2F of how the York School does this . I like that you touched on the…Read more

I love your commitment to best practice here: visual learning, voice & choice, success criteria, engaging reflection, tuning protocols. Your students are lucky to have such an engaging and innovative facilitator of learning! As you know, I have personally become quite an advocate of S.O.L.E. (Self Organized Learning Environments),…Read more

It is a perfect venue to talk to @jroberts @ahughes @dmonson @lbelanger @lwest all about this. The bulk of the day will be spent networking and connecting around your Action Plan. You should feel very proud of this work @swelbourn You are leveraging one community to build another. Love it!
