Thank you @OrenjiButa for creating this very useful resource for #Pyp teachers. Bring used in Prague this week at the @Ibicus #socialemotionallearning workshop. Much appreciated! @ibpyp @iborganization @jessboerema @ISDFifthGrade @isdedu

I THINK they're done. My take on the Enhanced @ibpyp AtLs is that they are more sophisticated than their predecessors. There are a lot of connection and overlap within them and definitely more reflective of agency. PDF versions available in https://t.co/3cyHBh3266 #SkillsFirst

How are we fostering an learning environment that is ‘switched-on’?! Great reference tool from @TeachThought @ibpyp #theartofquestioning #pluggedin @ISDFifthGrade @isdedu

"The fact remains—if students can’t ask great questions—even as young as elementary school—something, somewhere is unplugged."

3 things students want to hear from teachers:
1. "I believe in you."
2. "You have a purpose."
3. "How are you, really?"

There are no original ideas?! @ISDFifthGrade is hard at work building their understanding of originality through creative expression! @isdedu @ibpyp

When teachers are fluent in their school's language of learning, they are able to notice learning, name it and start to see it everywhere.
