Transition for sts and families from an EY to primary can come with anxiety and doubts. This year we have implemented a full transition programme starting midyear for parents and students. We’re delighted to work with and support our community! https://t.co/gn6bMhCOLw

2020 was a challenge but a huge opportunity to invest in relationships with our learning community.
We sent home learning packs with materials, books and messages about our 4 goals: be kind, love learning, inspire change and do your best. #Newtoncollege #colegionewton

More creative tools means more shortcuts!

Use these shortcuts in the "Student Instructions" portion of Activities. Type in the shortcut and it will transform into the icon after you click save.

How Can Teachers Nurture Meaningful Student Agency? https://t.co/jsL5jn5OZl

Finding a balance with your students is (for me) a key part of nurturing agency, critical thinking, planning and self-management skills.

An insightful article on 'psychological stamina', how to lead when the team is exhausted, learning how to acknowledge this but also to crank up the energy... https://t.co/FpyBRd4yGs

“In effect, exposing kids to rich content in civics, history, and law appeared to teach reading more effectively than our current methods of teaching reading.”
Teaching skills through interesting and relevant content = good #IBPYP practice.

Conclusions after 2 days of school closure: 1) you can never replace the human connection of teaching with online instruction 2) we miss our students #newtoncollege #lovetoteach #teachersrock #bestteam #onlinelearning

Any @iborganization educators out there wishing to embark on their next #lifelonglearner pursuit? This may be worth looking into! #pypchat #mypchat #dpchat @ibpyp

Parent presentation meetings this week, but traffic here in Lima is so bad, we MUST try and do more to connect with families without them having to come into school. What #edtech tools do your school using to creatively connect with the community?
