Thanks Glenis Blas for pointing out the value of constant reflection in the learning process. Using those dips as thriving moments!
Another Women in Leadership session with @drfranny1! Maybe we should channel our inner Freire and spend more time together in teams naming those behaviors that build trust for group understanding
Spending the evening listening to @drfranny1 share strategies to beat compassion fatigue is my self-care for the week. Thank you for your wise words - as always!

We need to develop problem finders and critical thinkers, not human databases. #FutureSkills #EdChat #Innovation #Creativity – at Yongsan-gu, Republic of Korea
What a pleasure to watch this inspiring unit unfold - teachers are helping Ss make global connections to learn more about the people in our world and build inclusivity
Session 2 with EKC! My favorite question from our conceptual literacy session today, "What are the ways we use writing to effectively communicate with ourselves?"
Building math connections to literacy: How can you translate this experience into math using all you know about the symbols and representations there? What is the meaning that the mathematician is trying to convey? Elliot Eisner on curriculum inspired me today.
#pypx2020 finished! (virtually) Grade 5 students and teachers were superheroes through the whole thing. Thoughtful persistence led to creative solutions for new challenges. Virtual tips and tricks that can be used to enhance the post-covid format!

On line learning doesn't have to be overly complicated. What matters at this time is connections with each other. A G3 persuasive letter to other schools about how we do online learning here @WAB_LIVE
Wonderful! It was nice to see familiar faces sharing about their VLE path so far. My take away: making choices in the design of our virtual learning plan based on the amount of joy we can bring to our students lives. iss.edu/community/online-lea…

I'm creating some videos for parents with easy ways they can support their children's writing development at home. Here's a link to the first video. youtube.com/watch?v=A1HL_1ZT…
You can find all of the videos here: authortoauthor.org/parent-re…
More videos soon!
So many wonderful connections can be made right now. Eyes on the silver linings!
Great PYP Profile Posters for Home Learning created by one of our amazing Grade 2 teachers at @ISHRLearns #pyp #homelearning
Another great resource! I love the structure for planning where to start.

A truly transformative experience. Thank you Istanbul and especially @drfranny1 who's wise words echo long after she's gone. I'm going to make WWFD bracelets for our team!
Such a nice and simple way to summarize how to support our readers in elementary and beyond ascd.org/publications/educat…
Thanks to @drfranny1 for an amazing 2 days of building trust, collaboration, and collegiality. See you again soon in Istanbul!
