Congrats to the Grade 12 @iborganization students for sharing their TOK exhibitions with grade 11 IB students. Lots of great conversations about how TOK shows up in real life! @MrGalbers @CitadelHS

This is the greatest 5 minutes of storytelling of all time. 10 years later and I still get inspired by it.

Consider this a belated apology to every one of my teachers for underestimating how challenging their jobs were. The back story: I just did six fifteen minutes sessions with high school students, chatting about journalism. No biggie, right? I'm exhausted. Like, done.

If you teach the canon in high school classrooms, I want you to ask yourself, “when do marginalized student see themselves as something other than a badly represented victim in the books that are at the core of your curriculum?”

Tips for remembering what you learn:

- Spaced repetition beats cramming.

- Reflecting on what you learned improves retention.

- Break down concepts to their simplest elements. "If you can’t explain it in simple terms, then you don’t understand it.”

Gmorning
You’re up
Yes you’ve got obligations
And debts
And yesterday’s work that needs doing
But don’t forget yourself
We need you, safe and whole, more than any of the things you need to do
Those’ll keep
We need you.

This is the student who I would applaud👏🏾😉. Just being real. Explained their thinking...indeed. And I can relate to this child. 👍🏾

Gnight

If it’s crowded in your head
Or heavy in your heart
You’re not remotely alone

We’re all carrying so much around

Lift someone else up tonight,
feel your burdens grow lighter in doing so
