From today's webinar with @jrosspeters, there is a difference between schools being resilient and anti-fragile. We should strive to emerge from this crisis as anti-fragile schools. @cdworrell @gregbamford @JonHaidt #management #resilience

Linda Darling-Hammond: "If we taught babies to talk the way that most skills are taught in school, they would memorize lists of sounds in a predetermined order and practice them alone in a closet"

It seems that as the term #DesignThinking gets thrown around as more of a buzzword in the world, much of its meaning & impact get watered down & lost in translation. Not all of what is being called DT or Human-Centered Design is what it claims to be. #dtk12chat #empathy2action

Don’t be data-driven. Be data-informed. Metrics should never be in charge because they have no moral compass.

I get all 😍 when I read the words "competency-based" with regard to student learning! Even the simplest of activities should be designed to answer the Qs: "Why?" or "What's the point?" I find that this approach helps to avoid the pitfalls of busy work. xitter.cf/martinmoran21/status/1…

We always talk about the importance of tests, content, and curriculum. My 20 years of teaching has taught me that NOTHING outweighs culture. How we think about curiosity, reflection, failure, respect, and persistence beats everything else, hands down. Mind, heart, and body.
