Learning to make sense of it all.

Sharing this UN SDGs provocation resource with you all that I created with @rbathursthunt.

Have a look & tell us what you think!

Find it here: https://t.co/tD7rPOutNL

Open it up & click on each goal to access the embedded provocation. There’s a set for MS/HS & one for ES.

@hktans @BaliBeccy One on one meetings with homeroom teacher to connect with kids.

The future of math education will most definitely intersect technology. But, technology must be used to humanize mathematics, and make access to its awe and wonder equitable. These 9 @MathigonOrg Principles is a strong, reflective starting point for such urgent curation.

[Alfie Kohn @alfiekohn]

One of the least noticed harms of the standards-and-testing movement is that its focus on individual subjects (ELA, math, history) discourages interdisciplinary teaching, which begins with broad questions and problems so students can draw from whichever disciplines are relevant

An idea to get behind: Teaching and learning for wisdom.

@teresapeabody @aglobalwander a timely idea...

It's time for Curriculum Mapping 3.0! Check out my latest blog that makes the case for a needed shift from curriculum as content "coverage" to a more deliberate focus on authentic performance -- and what students can DO with their learning.

When kids ask for help, should you give them the answer right away, or is that robbing them of the pleasure of figuring it out on their own, and building resilience? What's the right mix of support and challenge? My take in @latimesopinion https://t.co/b0XWVtuqiQ

[Alastair @JacksonAlastair]

My driving question after a great weekend with @kjinquiry; if inquiry is as much art as science, how do we create the conditions for a creative community to thrive?

[Jay McTighe @jaymctighe]

Listen to my just-released podcast interview with Tom Schimmer. We discuss ideas from my recent book on designing and using Authentic Performance Tasks and Projects for meaningful learning and assessments that matter. https://t.co/4nbHVliGAp

Which education future do you think most likely? Which do you want to advocate for? Least likely: the status quo. Time for educators to lead in the shaping of the future of learning. https://t.co/Yt6smM27fX

A useful summary as we start the year...

[Sonya terBorg @terSonya]

What will it look like when all is said and done with #COVID19 and we return to school? My school is attempting to cross this 'finish line' so I started thinking about "new school". #pypchat #mypchat #onlinelearning https://t.co/guGb3wsVlh

@teresattung @HongKongAcademy @NISTSchool Looking forward to having you guys here!

Imagine if maths was taught as an art. Students would be invited to play and explore patterns & learn mathematical relationships, with no tracking, sorting or testing. We would replace fear with curiosity, equity & a love of all mathematical ideas. #Limitless
