Slow down so I can be my best self for the kiddos.

Slow down so I can be my best self for the kiddos.

In education we are our hardest critic. We are hardest on ourselves.

Slow down. Less is more. Think of the kiddos.

RIP Sir Ken Robinson. Your legacy has and will continue to inspire many of us to do better for others to make education and the world a better place. 😢

[Sir Ken Robinson @SirKenRobinson]

It is with heavy hearts that we announce Sir Ken Robinson died peacefully yesterday, 21st August 2020, surrounded by family after a short battle with cancer.

We will be following up with a further update as we begin to follow Sir Ken’s wishes and honour his legacy.

1. Did I learn one new thing today?
2. Did I help or inspire one person?
3. Did I show gratitude to someone who has had a positive impact on me?

“And as much as we know that the work is never done, it seems as though we always try to scratch off all of items on our to do list. It’s simply impossible. We have to stop trying. We have to be okay with not done. And we have to be okay with not perfect.” https://t.co/7SCPEDcOLe

Inquiry is not a bunch of random learning engagements but rather the result of authentic planning. Strong inquiry schools dissolve the boundaries between school and the wider community. @kjinquiry #bonps #learningwithpurposeandpassion #bpsinquiry #ToddleTIES
