Austrian-German weightlifter Matthias Steiner is a one-of-a-kind fighter. Steiner was married in 2005 to his wife Susan, his biggest supporter. Steiner then decided it was time to retire from weightlifting, but she pushed him to continue.
Steiner promised to compete in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, but then tragedy struck. Susan passed away in a car crash in 2007 before the games began.
Instead of stopping, Matthias made the bold decision to honor his wife through competition. He trained even harder, focused intently, and won the Gold by lifting more than he had ever lifted before. It's an incredible display of emotion, pride, and love.
@Spikey4771@Sue_Cowley@naomicfisher I think we are almost there. There are disruptive forces at work. The need to retain teachers, to give students an environment where they thrive and contribute, Chat GTP and the changing nature of work. The new flipped classroom is a subtle shift from content to competencies.

Australia’s Molly Wright was only 7 years old when she became the youngest-ever TED speaker - unpacking how parents can support early brain development. Loads of important lessons here.
100% . For many who isolation does not work for, it will never work. But dumb adults believe at some point they will ‘crack’. Pretty abusive approach to children wrapped up as support.

+ “Half the curriculum walks in the door when the students do.” — Emily Style
Thank you @de_fine for introducing me to Style’s remarkable work. Deeply in love with the notion of ‘curriculum as encounter’. I’ve been living this truth for years: https://t.co/kVJCk5XD5B #education
We hire teachers based on their strengths but then we manage them based on their weaknesses. This is a morale buster. Leaders, help them develop those strengths this new school year and watch them do amazing things!
