@jestme The automatic expectation or assumption that I am the one to initiate talks about emotions, developments and progress on emotional maturity and being " real " and expressive about emotions when working out a problem with a partner in a romantic relationship.
My strategic goal this year: Develop student-centred competencies within teachers. We can't impose "student-centred" unless we have the research on teacher beliefs & values in order to facilitate the specific competencies within educators themselves.

My Saturday nights in this remote, unique, deep, dark jungle: The jungle stillness, animal sounds & fireflies outside my big house inspire me to work non-stop w/ dogged focus & clear mind. Did a 25 % task in 1 day. How to create pgms. on learning theories. Cake for brain fuel.
My role & work visa stipulation in volatile, permit-only zones: Govt & gold-copper mining co. has agreement that they bring me in w/ specific skills to build national leadership in edu. Completed projects: Collaborative policy making. Leadership dev. Academic operation alignment.
Loving life & leadership role: From 8 mths ago, didn't think that I would be in choppers for work in not-for-profit IB PYP private schools in jungles and mountains owned by biggest gold & copper mining company in the world. Change management: Academic & operations alignment.
Transversing b/w 2 worlds: Corporate & education. Busy days of meetings of setting strategy to action w/ both corporate & educational sections. Company's infrastructure is deeply connected to how the IB schools develop in every way from teaching, learning & community projects.
1st tweet in a while. New leadership role for the biggest American copper & gold mining company. As part of the exec team, sitting with execs of the corporation & generals for independence day. Here to improve quality of systems & operations for company's non-profit IB schools.
Got my CIS G6 division to visit the Nexus #PYPX. Very interesting, creative & student-focused. The word "Exhibition" replaced w/ "Expedition" bc it was an expedition unto oneself / self-discovery / self-development to become better people!
15 yrs ago: Left finance in Toronto to be ELL coordinator for Ministry of Edu in Mihama village, Japan. Fun: I intro. village to Halloween. Got board, media & businesses funds. Made props/game booths. Got villagers to open up homes for trick-treaters. Made the news. I miss JP.
#pypconnected Found old pics from 10 yrs ago when I was a young teacher in Tokyo. Fun: I ran robotics & coding club 10 yrs ago. I took kids outside for math to learn math. I set up penpal pgms b/w Tokyo & Malay schools. Ques: "How did you change as an educator over the yrs?"
#IBEN#designagency#STEMed G4 ss will #design a "perfect playground" model /proposal in #HTWW. Before making, they questioned types of design cycles. Can we create a cycle that works for us? All about creating #NEWknowledge to "disrupt" what is already known. #multilingual vocab
#IBEN#HWOO#leadership As deep as I am in #artificialintelligence groups of SG, pen-paper wins here. 11-12 yr olds used soc.psych survey on leadership (WeDay) & synthesised it w/ IB LP. New knowledge + deep question=success in inquiry. AI says, "Human creativity precedes tech".
