“Creativity now is as important in education as literacy, and we should treat it with the same status.” – Sir Ken Robinson, TED talk, 2006.

[early play @earlyplay]

We learn...
10% of what we read
20% of what we hear
30% of what we see
50% of what we both hear and see
70% of what is discussed
80% of what we experience personally
95% of what we teach to someone else.

Children who attended high-quality preschool were 11% more likely to graduate high school and 8% less likely to be held back or placed in special education, new study finds. https://t.co/WY8cJjPbQ6

@RayeAlbright I heard Wal-Mart did make some kind of change.

[Jan Winslow @Jan_Winslow]

An article that supports what I have always believed, and with research to back it up.

Young people have helped lead all our great movements. How inspiring to see it again in so many smart, fearless students standing up for their right to be safe; marching and organizing to remake the world as it should be. We've been waiting for you. And we've got your backs.

@EBennettcc We talk about this, we say we know it, but it takes keeping it in the front of our mind to actually put it into practice.
Good article!

@ArtarmonScriven This is creepy! I have thought my settings are fairly private, but now I wonder...

[Jan Winslow @Jan_Winslow]

@ArtarmonScriven @EBennettcc @TheOatmealRss Social media certainly does that, and it takes a lot of effort not to fall into that trap if we have strong feelings/beliefs. This cartoon has a link at the bottom to 3 great podcasts on the subject of the neuroscience of changing our minds. Check it out!

We are all about STEM these days, but read this short article explaining how we could expand that to STEAM! Add art in the mix.
Art and music both incorporate so much math. I love seeing a strong focus on art and music in schools. All schools. #TLOLCNM https://t.co/FToTf0gqCV

[Vroom @joinvroom]

See how math can be creative, art can be analytical, and both can inspire your child’s imagination. https://t.co/HkXXSYuPGS

This reminds me of Malcolm Gladwell's claim that if we put 10,000 hours into anything, we can master it (as in his book "Outliers"). Whether the theory is valid or not, if we enjoy what we do, it's play, and if we do it enough, we get better. Watch the children! https://t.co/xenqT4b8UM

@RayeAlbright Very interesting. The idea takes some getting used to!

[Jan Winslow @Jan_Winslow]

@fionnabhar Or... I'll buy cool pens or mechanical pencils that they will want to use to write my assignments. Or... I'll buy art materials of which there is never enough! Or... I'll buy balls and hoops and cool playground equipment. Or... I'll buy
