Connecting schools around the world-creating global teams who CONNECT-COLLABORATE & CELEBRATE together on World Edu. Day Of Conn. Our motto-#StrongerConnected
It’s CONNECTION. It’s about all students understanding that who they truly are, deserves to be SEEN, HEARD and VALUED. How do we create the environment, the space, deliver the tools and support this basic need, throughout education? Thanks for sharing @teacherkimj

She taught us all about the power of connection through her many years of groundbreaking work with chimpanzees. What it means to be seen, heard, and valued. Over 10 years ago she kicked off our 1st Wickman World Summit, the birthplace of WEC. Happy 83 Birthday Dr. Jane Goodall.
Episode 5 of Anatomy of a Global Family- Wickman Wildcat students is up and live. Meet some of our youngest family. Very brave, honest, and authentic responses. Give a listen. We learned so much by sitting and listening to them. You may too. https://t.co/K90GyoFTyz
@SteeleThoughts @JoAnnJacobs68 Yes! Great modeling to show we are all developing and growing, both teachers, and students, and add in parents. Growth is a sign of being open to change. Not only works in progress, but we all make mistakes, we are all human. Thanks for sharing.
Episode 4 of Anatomy of a Global Family is up and live! See who makes up our WEC Family. Meet Zaituni, a teacher, mom and leader. Learn how she started her own foundation, and meet her son with a smile that lights up a room!

@educationweek Thank you for bringing attention to this issue. There are probably more “fragile” students than realized. Not all are brave enough to wear it on the outside. Yesterday, we saw a population who are demanding to be SEEN, HEARD & VALUED.
WEC journals. Love her example of Connection, a container & a lid. Two distinctly diff. articles, which on their own, could not remotely achieve what they can do when they are brought together. That is the power of connection and collaboration, all to serve a greater purpose❤️
