We need to continually push back against this notion of teacher as source of knowledge.
Cognitive growth increases with social interaction. We learn with and from each other.

A great idea to do with your students. Not losing some of the changes will make education better in the future.

What educators really care about is task completion. Getting something done. Doing all ten questions. Reading to page 27. And we reward that with grades. We don’t care about formation, depth of learning. The quality of learning along the way. #cdlc2020

Technology makes us more efficient and our teachers have become teachers until 11:00 pm, but at what expense? Have we contributed to the creation of more unstable marriages? #cdlc2020

What if we could assign homework that changed the relational dynamics of our community?
What if we could assign homework where task of parent isn’t to be a police officer, but we assigned homework that actually built relationship between people? -Smith #cdlc2020

One of the best predictors of academic success in young children: Curiosity. It's as important as self-control, and especially valuable for lower-income kids. Classrooms should spark curiosity rather than demand compliance. sciencedaily.com/releases/20…
