I could not agree more. Where would we be had the "Greatest Generation" not thought in terms of obligations to serve the greater good rather than pursue their own life, liberty and pursuit of happiness? This is just one, powerful example. We have obligations.

[Grant Lichtman @GrantLichtman]

This basic difference in outlook is something that I think we need to ponder much more deeply. We must find a re-balance after centuries of overweight on the "I have rights".

What to Say Instead of ‘I’m Proud of You’ https://t.co/hRJM82d0xr. Such a great set of reminders about ways to encourage internal motivation, reflection, and self-awareness.

Social emotional health in a school is established through relationships and requires an intentional focus on building a culture that sustains them and keeps them working towards a shared vision.

I read this book in college and it has continued to shape my interactions with others through disagreements. Avoiding labels,seeking understanding, and caring about the perspectives of others demonstrates true empathy and gives room for difficult conversations.

[Socrates - Head of School @Socheadofschool]

When entering conversations, am I looking to win, or come out with the most agreeable position possible?

Thanks to Ian @Symmonds for putting forth thought provoking ideas about how education might evolve post-pandemic. Two of my recent blog posts capture the thoughts his blog stimulated for me. https://t.co/GIfP9G6PcH @NAISnetwork @SAISnews

A nice model for encouraging more generative conversations at the board level.

A recent @edutopia article stimulated a good bit of thinking for me. Understanding student thinking and using it to design instruction leads to more effective #mathematicsteaching and #deeperlearning.

Let's not lose sight of the value and importance of teacher PD aligned with the curriculum-- a critical piece of the interventions of these studies and undoubtedly a key to their success. #LearningWeNeed

All educators have heard these classic phrases sometime in their tenure: “I don’t have time for that” or “I need to focus on the test.” https://t.co/9lfIUy2O0a

The research phase of these conferences is so critically important as it gives us an opportunity to hear how the student is thinking about the mathematics at hand. Once we understand that, we can design instruction accordingly.

[edutopia @edutopia]

Students need differentiated instruction in math, just like they do in reading. Try applying the 1:1 student conferencing model.
