Everyone needs to explore, investigate, tinker with, and have fun with ideas. Robert Fulghum inspires me work from a more inquisitive center. This is my wish for anyone who hasn't been in Kindergarten for a really long time.

"Just because they’re not sitting at a desk with a book and pen in front of them doesn’t mean they’re not learning. They are learning, you can see it every time they workshop and solve a problem. They’re learning through doing." @NLESDCA

See you at the Counter-Protest this afternoon! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 There is no space for hate!!

The @NLTeachersAssoc will not stand silently by while our members are attacked for being who they are and for creating safe learning spaces for their students. 2SLGBTQ+ rights are human rights. The mis- and dis-information circulating is grounded in hate. 1/3 @GSDSIC

Simon Sinek's work on starting with Why has helped shape a lot of ideas about Leadership. I think though there is a critical element missing. My blog this week briefly looks at starting with Who.

What is ungrading?

"Ungrading" means raising an eyebrow at grades as a systemic practice, distinct from simply “not grading.” The word is a present participle, an ongoing process, not a static set of practices.

Thousands of Palestinian teachers across the West Bank and Gaza are currently engaged in the largest and most enduring strike of its kind in years.

See the WORLD as curriculum: "... push [the] boundaries of imaginings of who our students can become. Curriculum must not only connect to the world, but must also disrupt hurt, harm, and pain in the world."

Amid an economic crisis caused by Israeli policies and PA corruption, Palestinian teachers are bringing schools and streets to a standstill until their demands are met.

"Rather than a measure of learning, grading in the U.S. began as a last-minute method for ranking ... the 100-point grading system in its current permutation—is a 'badly lopsided scale that is heavily gamed against the student ...'"

[Jill Handrigan (she/her) 🏳️‍🌈 @Got_qs]

THIS. "Perhaps the problem lies in grading itself, since students tend to fixate on their scores and not their learning goals."

When students direct their own learning experiences, their voices are valued and teachers learn alongside them.
