I’m looking forward to the visits as well. I feel like I have so much to learn but my staff event yesterday was a success, with about 14 attendees, and the activities were well-recieved. (Thanks Cohort 21 for pushing me to just go for it!) Many walked away with a better idea of what can be done in the space and the available…Read more

You have been so thoughtful in your plan. As an Ashoka school, we have been talking a lot about empathy and changemaking and we are working on a developing a scope and sequence of what that might look in JK through Grade 6. (We are also excited to use the blocks/empathy toy!) I can’t wait to hear about your progress. Amazing work!

I have been reading about passion/20time/genius hour projects for a while now and love the idea, but just haven’t been brave enough to take the leap! Good for you!

Sometimes all of us, students and teachers alike, get caught up in the busy, and forget to make wellness a priority. I also appreciate the link to Dr. Greg Well’s blog-I like his post on “single-tasking.”

Unknowingly I already follow Cathy on twitter, so I am excited to dig deeper and read about her action plan.

I think there are some interested staff and teachers, but the challenge as always is time. Everyone (students and teachers) have a lot on their plates, but the hope is, as we get started the buzz will grow!

That’s definitely one for the files-you have given me so much to think about in regards to my everyday practice and educational philosphy. It would be helpful to put it all into words at some point, and use it to direct what I spend time and energy on. Thanks for sharing!

I will post pictures next time, and will be sure to update once the lunch and learns get going. Still thinking through some possible topics to start and the age groupings.
