Wonderful to present alongside Deidre Fischer at the EARCOS Leadership Conference.
Exploring how schools can use their mission and values as a foundation for a conceptual framework for learning, ensuring that what we believe as a school is reflected in what we teach.
What does rigorous learning really look like?
Wonderful to connect with parents at the American School of Madrid for a session on exploring Rigor.
Rigour is not about making learning harder. It is about making thinking deeper.

It has been a wonderful few days collaborating with the elementary teams at ABA Oman International School.
Always rewarding to see Leveraging Deep Learning being used as part of the planning process, moving from theory into practice.
Who is doing the thinking? Who is doing the designing? And where are the learners in the design?
In my latest blog, I reflect on intentional learning design that enables every learner to belong, participate, and learn.

We need to plan, a plan is based on what we know before the learning begins.
Once learners enter the learning, they give us new information.
So perhaps good planning isn't about creating a plan we can follow perfectly.
It is about creating a plan we are prepared to change.

“Reading the World” is a remarkable new documentary about Paulo Freire, the acclaimed Brazilian educator whose revolutionary approach to teaching connected literacy to critical thinking and democratic participation. “One of the most important points of his philosophy is that everyone has knowledge,” says Maria Luisa Mendonça, a consulting producer for the documentary.
Reflecting on two wonderful days at the International Community School of Addis Ababa
Day 1 what co-design asks of us as educators
Day 2 how might students become co-designers of their learning
Wonderful to collaborate and learn along side such an amazing community.

What might we learn about our students if we approached them with greater curiosity?
Being curious helps us uncover learners’ ideas, theories, questions and perspectives, including those we have not anticipated, it creates opportunities to make space for these in the learning.
What resources for learning already exist within our communities?
Our communities are rich with people, places, organisations and artefacts that can bring expertise, different perspectives, lived experiences, stories and authentic contexts into learning.
What if building learner agency didn't require a complete overhaul of the way we teach?
This is questions Tonya Gilchrist and I will be exploring in Agency by Design in Switzerland this October.

What changes when we think about assessment as part of learning, rather than something that happens at the end?
These six principles sit at the heart of that work.
Which of these is already strongly evident?
Which might offer an opportunity to think differently?
We talk a lot about learner agency. But how do we actually design for it?
For @Mrs_Gilchrist and I, this is the question at the heart of our upcoming workshop in Switzerland.

Learning doesn't need to be contained within the school walls. Communities are rich with people, places and artefacts that can deepen learning, build connections and offer perspectives and experiences that cannot always be created in a classroom.
