If you're suddenly managing people remotely, temporarily increasing the number of team meetings is smart.
Increasing #communication ( via video conferencing & personal phone calls) won't just ensure #work is coordinated, it will allow people to connect & share coping strategies.
It's CARNIVAL @ASW_Warsaw So proud to be part of this superstar office team committed to #PSE and celebrating how different we all are. We create the conditions for kids to feel safe, to know and be themselves, to grow and to learn. @ASWPYPPrincipal@asw2HA#kimochi

More info coming out of @ASW_Warsaw soon!!! Choosing how we spend our time, with whom we spend it and what we choose to learn each day with our EY teachers, single subjects team and instructional coaches. #pypenhancements#agency@ibpyp@ASWPYPPrincipal@AnnevanDam1966
What if we taught students to use these devices 💻📱 as EMPATHY MACHINES? What if we taught students how to use digital tools to hear and understand the stories of others? Have we done our due diligence in teaching students to use these tools for GOOD? #ReadTheWorldNOW#SEL
If you want to get better, always hire the best, even if that means shorter tenure overall. As a superintendent, I only hired direct reports that had the potential to develop into superintendents. I would rather have a great leader for 2 years than a mediocre leader for 20 years.
“All life events are formative. All contribute to what we become, year by year, as we go on growing. As my friend the poet Kenneth Koch once said, “You aren’t the age you are. You are all the ages you ever have been!““
Why do we stew over the negative? Share this with your students ages 10 and up. #Mindfulness helps us notice where our attitudes are tilting. Find other great tips for better balance in this amusing animation and interview. https://t.co/x7dNPh5XDu
28 huge rope swings on 1 thrilling #playground structure in a public park. Design: Asbjorn Flemmen. Client: Örebro Municipality, Sweden. Lead officer: Mimmi Beckman. A brave move (first time these have appeared outside a schoolyard). #riskyplay
@jenmunnerlyn Just finished up a great trip learning about Playworking, Outdoor Play and Learning, engaging playgrounds full of loose parts, welly stores at school, risk assessment, "safe enough," rough play, play types, and change management. Innovation in elementary education!
Learning how to improve play at our school = 3 days. Over 100 miles driven through Somerset, UK. 3 schools visited, 2 meetings sat in on, 1 meeting (ours) held and done. Thank you @OPALOutdoorplay for hosting us. @mlrose14 @CuriousChestnut #humansleadinghumans

Page and Elfer clarify that settings can be engaged in contributing to children’s emotional well being by the interactions between staff and the children and this is dependent on ‘consistent adult attention that is responsive and sensitive’. (2013) and I would add, in the moment.

Your title or position doesn't make you right or wrong--being wrong makes you wrong.
Own up to it and let's get better!
