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

[Trevor MacKenzie @trev_mackenzie]

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.

“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…

[Andrea Strutin @AStrutin]

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.

Imagination and creativity with cardboard boxes is naturally alive as they become a spaceship and helmet for these reception 1 students! #PubPDasia

@estheryoyo Yes! Early years are naturally creative especially when given the space and opportunity to play! #PubPDasia

As a new AP on day 1 for students, I find joy in this rainbow staircase which is good because I’m spending a lot of time going up and down it!

[Andrea Strutin @AStrutin]

@catherinem23 Thinking of you. So sorry for your loss.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

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.
