Reflecting on 2020 as an ADE, a time when we would rise up, create, connect, and innovate in the face of all its challenges. Here's my reflection @WBAISIsrael #ADEreflection @AppleEDU #AppleEDUchat

5 seeds to plant on the first day of school: 1. Agency: voice & choice. 2. Curiosity: lessons that spark awe. 3. Equity: all can succeed. 4. Wellness: calm, confident & joyous spaces. 5. Competency development: HOW we learn matters. Intentional starts create inspiring ends.

How does mixing materials create deeper thinking, extend attribute language organically, and develop a wider range of possibilities? Seeing the creativity through play during this PD for our educators and parents with Sandy Atkins on mathematical thinking. @hkis

Imagination and creativity with cardboard boxes is naturally alive as they become a spaceship and helmet for these reception 1 students! #PubPDasia

As a new AP on day 1 for students, I find joy in this rainbow staircase which is good because I’m spending a lot of time going up and down it!

The loudest voices rarely represent the majority. They're usually speaking for the extremes. You won't understand the views of a group until you've invited the quieter voices into the discussion. Don't mistake silence for disengagement. It's often a sign of deep reflection.
