Redesigning School: Six Key Pillars From Six of the Most Innovative Schools and Programs

We don’t have to build a new model for school to best serve our students and communities. We simply need to make a few tweaks to the ones we already have.

Body Systems research project is done - stay tuned for amazing work of Carver 6th grade students - STEAM instead of STEM, hands-on sensory learning with meaning. @KCPS_Carver @kcpublicschools

I am so proud of my students - hands-on labs are still on! States of matter, reactions, properties, and more - YES for chemistry🧪👩‍🔬 when learning from home. @KCPS_Carver @kcpublicschools

In Europe and Russia educational spaces are designed very differently with windows which must be operable. The district teams in charge of space and new development must rethink how people learn and live in learning spaces and focus on users instead of maintenance.

capitalism strikes again: "Building regulations are written largely by HVAC engineers...HVAC engineers are typically paid according to the amount of HVAC equipment that goes into a building—a conflict of interest issue that needs to be addressed globally." fastcompany.com/90538499/a-d…

A disturbing reason so few buildings have windows that open

Building regulations are written largely by HVAC engineers, who get paid according to how much HVAC equipment a building has. Is it surprising there's such a dearth of natural ventilation?

The @KCPS_Carver team went into absolute #beastmode by organizing a "reverse parade" to celebrate their 2020 6th graders while families drove around the school bus lane! What a great way to end my week!!! Thank you, #CarverPumas! @kcpublicschools @srtamcpartland

One more history pod from the crew at Brains On: @foreveragoshow. We actually haven't listened to it before, but I'm planning on righting that wrong very soon. (Especially since their description says they're teaching critical thinking. Yes please!) brainson.org/pages/foreverag…
