Schools don't kill creativity, hierarchies do. Policies do. Compliance does. Outdated systems do. Standardized tests do. Report cards do. Ego does. Competition does. Negativity does. Pressure does. Burnout does. One size fits all methods do. Poor leadership does.

I have done my fair share of consuming while using social media, now it's time to start sharing my own ideas. It's high time for me to start believing in what I have to say and time for people to start hearing it. #pqp20 #notjustaconsumeranymore #sharingiscaring #plentytosay

Creative problem solving, critical thinking and resilience - the top 3 skills we need to teach our students to prepare them for the innovation era. #pqp20

[Allison Daly @adalysmcdsb]

Have we moved too fast by creating standards where we "ensure" that all students have access to technology and connectivity? Do we really have the resources and the funding to pull this off? #ISTEstandards #pqp20

[Allison Daly @adalysmcdsb]

Looking for a creative way to bring innovation into your classroom? Flexible seating provides students with choice, promotes problem solving and responsible decision making ... the list goes on. #flexibleseating #pqp20

[Allison Daly @adalysmcdsb]

As adults in the classroom we have to model how to appropriately use technology and how we can use it to make an impact, not hide it in our desks. We should be using technology as much, if not more, than the students. #pqp20

When you ask your students to come up with a slogan for your red shirt Fridays. #NoCutsToEducation

Using digital tools and social media to share the learning. From, "What did you do at school today?" to "Look at all the wonderful things you did at school today!" #getparentsinvolved #sharethelearning #pqp10

[Allison Daly @adalysmcdsb]

The more connected we are as leaders, the better able we are to help others make connections. #pqp10

[Allison Daly @adalysmcdsb]

As a leader, you can't expect people to take risks if you're not willing to to do the same. You have to be willing to fail, ready to learn, and celebrate what works as much as what doesn't. Nothing great ever came from the status quo. #pqp10

[Allison Daly @adalysmcdsb]

Students are not all apathetic. Many of them are just uneducated. Teach them about the problems of the world and they WILL care. So many of them already do. Many students are already leaders, many have the potential to be. Give them the tools and they may surprise you. #pqp10

[Wade Stanford @wadestanford]

The three questions we need to ask students:
1) What problem do you want to solve?
2) How do you want to solve that problem?
3) What do you need to learn to solve that problem?
As educators, we enter in and add value after question #3!!

Students spend around 7 hours a day at school. Rarely should a child be spending more time at night on homework than with their family. In today's world, time with their parents is exponentially more important than working 50 Algebra problems. #edchat #joyfulleaders

Reliable WiFi in our nation’s schools is not a luxury. It has increasingly become a moral imperative. We can’t be content to give the world to some children and whiteboards to others. #BoldSchool #edchat #satchat #SaturdayThoughts #suptchat #KidsDeserveIt #JoyfulLeaders #K12
