After many requests, I finally agreed to join a student D&D game. To be clear - I have never before played, nor desired to play, D&D. Here is the character sheet they created for me. I feel like they really captured my essence. #relationships #LearnerCentered
One of my sixth-grade students sent me this completely unsolicited temperature check last week. #relationships #LearnerCentered #EmotionalIntelligence

When young people are given the agency to set their own schedules of learning: "Best of all, they see what they are truly capable of when adults trust them to manage their own time and learning." —@CarissaEducator #edreimagined #edchat
So so grateful to be part of a school that values innovation. Oh, and they let me write blog posts too. Check out my latest post about student-generated schedules. embarkeducation.org/blog/202…
Time is a really interesting resource in education. It is one that, unfortunately, always is in low supply. At Embark, we are thinking about who controls that resource and how it is used!

Thank you @ColoradoMatters and @averylill for helping to elevate the voices of our youth. Super proud of the student at @EmbarkEducation for their courage in working to understand and communicate how this election season has impacted their current lives and their future.

There is no perfect plan for how schools will reopen this fall. But, there is an opportunity to explore the fall from an asset-based mindset, regardless of the chaos we continue living inside of on a daily basis. bit.ly/VoyagerJuly2020 #edreimagined #edchat
I missed today's session but there are two more FREE sessions in the conversations series!
Excited to share this series from #RemakeLearning - tomorrow's (7/16) event is two students in conversation with trusted teachers about anti-racist education. You can register under "conversations" here: remakelearning.org/tomorrow/

While rereading Outliers , I ran across the phrase "concerted cultivation." A great reminder that kids need encouragement and explicit support from adults to learn how to ask questions, speak up for what they need, and take up the space they deserve in our world. @malcomgladwell
Grateful to @EdReimagined for providing me with a place to share my journey.
"However well-intentioned, the trouble with this [conventional] approach was that all ideas originated with me. I was creating. I was assigning. I was highlighting." —@CarissaEducator bit.ly/StrtFrmScrtch #edreimagined #edchat @DirectorEmbark
