[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The hallmark of an open mind is not letting your ideas become your identity.

If you define yourself by your opinions, questioning them is a threat to your integrity.

If you see yourself as a curious person or a lifelong learner, changing your mind is a moment of growth.

Something to ask our students as team members also. #studentvoice

[Kawai @kawai_lai]

[Tara Ferrell @TaraFerrell15]

Reminds me of what @literacylala says often…

[Steve Barkley @stevebarkley]

Not One More Thing I am convinced that when teachers are empowered to ignite student passions and students enter learning in “flow,” passion and flow emerge for the teacher. At this point, the hard work of teaching is energizing. https://t.co/RVEsgoMMPq

When you think about the difficulties you face in your life, think about all the other people who have a similar experience of suffering. We need a keen sense of the oneness of humanity, remembering what we have in common with everyone else. #WorldKindnessDay #BookofJoy

A scientific approach to exploring identity and bias. #TransferableSkills

[Learning for Justice @learnforjustice]

"Social media and search engines are engineered to prioritize information or communities that confirm ideas, regardless of their merit." A social justice approach to scientific reasoning can help students counter harmful biases and narratives.
