Gr. 4 teachers laying the foundations for responsive planning for their upcoming math unit. Using reflection of Ss observations and work as a springboard to inform next pedagogical steps. Long Live Students' Voices! @FleiszigLana @ISBasel #pypchat #ibpyp

Delighted to have Lana Fleiszig guiding our teachers through student-centered, conceptually based math units that are taught through a stance of inquiry. Great thinking this week on provocative provocations. @ISBasel #pypchat #IBpyp @FleiszigLana

Ski Camp 2021: No slopes, no problem - No virus is going to keep us from having fun! @ISBasel

Building Student Agency, like inquiry, isn't something you do. It's a stance. This is a nice blueprint to shape your stance. @ISBasel @trev_mackenzie

[MindShift @MindShiftKQED]

Student agency is about empowering students to know themselves better, determine who they want to be and identifying steps we can take together to have this goal become a reality. @trev_mackenzie @rbathursthunt https://t.co/JP5UnrBYgo

Kathy Collins worked w/our teachers this week. Reminded us that whole group mini lessons are good, working in strategy groups even better, and conferring is best when working with Ss. @KathyCollins15 @ISBasel

Leadership isn't about authority, it is about influence. You can't be a leader unless you have followers. @ISBasel #LeadershipMatters

MTV Day 2 Takeaway - Teachers should be thinking "What's inside my Ss heads that needs to be in my head?" vs. the other way around. Who is doing the thinking? #ISBaselLearns @ISBasel @ProjectZeroHGSE @RonRitchhart #pypchat @mchurch_thinks

[george dolesch @GDolesch]

It's great being a learner in this MTV course with Ron and Mark. Wonderings from Day 1 - Are we intentionally planning lessons where Ss grapple with complexity? Are they embedded into our day to day practices? @ISBasel @RonRitchhart #ISBaselLearns @ProjectZeroHGSE
