buff.ly/3dhx43O Urgency means planning has failed. Oh, there are some genuine crises. But most school crises are entirely predictable. Choose to plan better and react less. #christianeducation #christianschools @ChristianSchMgt @tsdlorg

buff.ly/3iUJRMC Once a year classroom observations do not result in useful evaluation. Actually, they are a waste of time. Marcus Buckingham noted, rating tells us more truth about the rater than the rated. #christianschools #christianeducation @CHristianSchMgr @tsdlorg

buff.ly/3a4icUm "Personalized learning is a common aspiration for students, yet adult learning remains astonishingly homogenous." Adults need a suit of PD clothes that fits them like a glove, not a sack of potatoes. #christianeducation @tsdlorg @ChristianSchMgt
When we contextualize skills, or make them incidental, and allow them to exist alongside the basic needs they are used to fill, they’re simply much easier to learn -- so easy that we barely realize we’re doing it. openschooloc.com/2019/09/22/…

"Every school takes their own approach to how they manage time, space, and learning beyond the walls of the school. That’s how you continue to scale and sustain transformation across a school district." —@DugleSusan bit.ly/3tVgQmm #edreimagined #edpolicy
Yes. Create learning with children as the leaders. @ChristianSchMgt @YongZhaoEd @TEEmlerEdu @_LukeRitchie @jennyknightoz @boutros_mary @EdRev #education #educhat #edutwitter
"I think it's really meaningful to give students the opportunity to create without a blueprint. That enables them to dream up something authentic and original." —Jim McCue bit.ly/3gE1TRW #edreimagined #suptchat

Radical trust of students. They embrace learning when they have autonomy. Plus executive functioning skills are naturally developed. Younger students are able to handle this too. #edchat #education #edutwitter
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 bit.ly/3tOgWMF #edreimagined #stuvoice
So true! How about take-your-parent-to-school day...Parents as experts in their field sharing with students...about take-your-teacher-to-work day...Parents are so much more than parents. #parentengagement #edchat #education

SLC are essential in all school cultures. They are truly transformative. Tsdl has experienced

Lines are for rulers, not children. In remote learning, there were no lines. Let's not go back. #edutwitter #edchat #education
When the education of every single child is seen through the lens of a Steven Spielberg or George Lucas, epic stories will become the norm rather than the exception. @edutopia #edutwitter #edchat #education
