Listening to Uncovering the Universal Potential of Childhood Conference. It is for parents and for educators, it is interesting, it is educational and it is free. #ChildhoodPotential #Montessori

Want students to remember something? Ask them to draw it! Research shows that drawing boosts learning by forcing us to process information in multiple ways: visually, kinesthetically, and linguistically.

Being a teacher I believe we should actively teach kids about the issue as well as the possible solutions. Love the idea behind song, but unfortunately I can’t use it for educational purposes.

@LeoDiCaprio @dicapriofdn Love the song, but can’t share it with my students. Would love to spark an inspiration in my 10 year olds with the efforts or stars, but I guess it will have to be my efforts and efforts of other activists for a bit longer.

Scary sentences said by teachers? “If I don’t tell them/remind them, they will forget/they will be late/they will not finish....”
Don’t underestimate your students, let them show what they are capable of.
Let them think/act/do/create/be/learn.

Rocket Writing: “If I were able to fly for one day...”
Student: “I would fly around all day singing ‘I believe I can fly...’
Oh, I would also fly up the Everest, I would be the person to get up there the fastest, ever.”

@LarryMolacek @cultofpedagogy I actually shared this with my team a couple of weeks ago. Thought provoking. I have to remind myself of a couple of these.

[Liene Leiskalne @LLeiskalne]

@LarryMolacek @AASAHQ @AASSA_SA Love these! I encourage number 9.... and all the others as well :)

@LeiskalnuAnna @yniversee Es cenšos. Màcīt bērniem.
Ir gadījies arī vecākiem mācīt un aizliegt dzimšanas dienu ballītēs (skolā) laist gaisā. Ceru, ka aizķersies.

I read an article and asked students to reflect on what key concepts they recognised. I am glad I did not limit my Ss. #pyp
