Reflecting on 2020 as an ADE, a time when we would rise up, create, connect, and innovate in the face of all its challenges. Here's my reflection @WBAISIsrael#ADEreflection@AppleEDU#AppleEDUchat
5 seeds to plant on the first day of school:
1. Agency: voice & choice.
2. Curiosity: lessons that spark awe.
3. Equity: all can succeed.
4. Wellness: calm, confident & joyous spaces.
5. Competency development: HOW we learn matters.
Intentional starts create inspiring ends.
Fortunate to be able to meet with other #ADEs for the first time in Hong Kong! Looking forward to continuing the conversations, connections, and learning together. #AppleEDUchat
Literacy night in the lower primary last night. Sharing the value of students developing a love for literacy. Reception 1 teachers discussing what storytelling looks like with our youngest learners. @HKIS#hkis
“Work/life balance has nothing to do with the hours we work or the stress we suffer. It has to do with where we feel safe”-Simon Sinek- Leaders Eat Last…. How are you making a safe work community? Food for thought…
How does mixing materials create deeper thinking, extend attribute language organically, and develop a wider range of possibilities? Seeing the creativity through play during this PD for our educators and parents with Sandy Atkins on mathematical thinking.

The loudest voices rarely represent the majority. They're usually speaking for the extremes.
You won't understand the views of a group until you've invited the quieter voices into the discussion.
Don't mistake silence for disengagement. It's often a sign of deep reflection.
