The more we worry, the better our brain becomes at worrying. Learning about neuroplasticity, mindfulness and SEL with fantastic @alecialoo and @jessboerema at the Professional Learning Institute @isdedu #WeAreISD
Thank you @OrenjiButa for creating this very useful resource for #Pyp teachers. Bring used in Prague this week at the @Ibicus #socialemotionallearning workshop. Much appreciated! @ibpyp @iborganization @jessboerema @ISDFifthGrade @isdedu

“Not sure what the school will be like in 25 years, but right now, the classes are a disaster!” Grade 5 ISD student 1993. Wonder what they would think about our space now? @ISDFifthGrade @isdedu #outofthemouthsofbabes #honesty #flexiblelearningspace

What does autonomy look like in your school? A really good rubric for supporting reflection and next steps in all learning (not just language) goo.gl/images/ZM7JA9

“a student-driven timetable says to children, ‘you matter’, ‘you are able to be the driver of your own learning’, ‘your time belongs to you’” A compelling case for breaking the traditional approach to timetabling #pypchat #mypchat #dpchat #edchat
