teach the 4Cs skills and other processes like we intentionally teach reading or math? FabLabs in school provide ONE tool for transformative change in schools for the meaningful instruction of students, and we're excited to see how we can improve learning outcomes for our Ss.

@tonydonen doing his "post it notes" activity where this group of EDUs (FabLab Facilitators, school admins) posted one note per answer to the question "Our graduates will be prepared if they can..." and placed the responses under either "Content" or "Skills/Habits".

[East Ridge Elementary eLab @ERES_eLab]

As usual, the post its under "Skills" FAR outnumber the notes under "Content". If every group of adults he's ever done this with have all agreed that skills is at LEAST as important, if not more, as content, then why is public school not making the leap to intentionally

[Michael Stone @CoachStone12]

In a world full of hustle, grind, & things, I’m guilty of getting distracted. But on weeks like this, where life slows down a bit, I’m immensely grateful for people. Find a moment to reflect on the people in your life who you are grateful for… then take the time to tell them 😊
