The #earlychildhood brain development story has been a powerful influence on the growth of investments & programs to promote #earlylearning and #schoolreadiness. But now we need to expand our thinking - because the brain does not exist by itself. https://t.co/3q2OwEJlW9

Know the core story of early childhood development? The past few years' events have shined a light on the need to build on that knowledge to meet today's most pressing needs for young children & families. Read our CALL TO ACTION for the #ecd field https://t.co/WxHKhFyags #sweet16

Neuroplasticity (neural circuit rewiring) is a 2 phase process: it is initiated by alert, focused (even agitated) states, but consolidated during deep & REM sleep & non-sleep-deep-rest (NSDR). Brain changes require toggling back and forth between these two states. #science

Thank you @DanHicks and @rae_lang for helping me become a certified #Microsoft Innovative Educator via the Continuous Professional Development Grant. I’ve gained valuable insights and skills - looking forward to more! #EdTech at @WoodlandPreHk is really thriving. @CognitaSchools

International School Saigon Pearl, Vietnam, Woodland Pre-Schools, Hong Kong, and the British School of Valencia, Spain, have been recognized as Common Sense Schools!! @CognitaSchools #TheCog #cognitaway #digitalcitizenship @sophie_b_watts @CommonSenseEd

It’s not a coincidence that doing these things before 11am makes us feel better all day & sleep better:
1) View sunlight
2) Exercise
3) Hydrate
4) See people we love
(They are among the major cues for circadian clock setting. All goes better when we obey our circadian biology).

Been diving deep into #EmotionalIntelligence but struggled to put on paper an approach that matched what was in my mind. Bringing learning from @Self_Reg & @ZonesOfReg and more to @WoodlandPreHk to support our children's emotional regulation #CognitaWay @rae_lang @CognitaSchools

@anmowat @EduSparkWorld @naomi_toland @mrkempnz @inspirecitizen1 @MrMerrillsClass @rjowe1 @dene_gainey @Seoulofavegan @JakeMillerTech @aussietony … For me, this model triangulates people, ideas, and value by fostering an authentic, community-based approach to engaged learning.

Looking forward to the impact this platform creates, and of course, more models!!!

@anmowat @EduSparkWorld @naomi_toland @mrkempnz @inspirecitizen1 @MrMerrillsClass @rjowe1 @dene_gainey @Seoulofavegan @JakeMillerTech @aussietony … at best, PD is collaborative, inclusive, empowering, and a proliferator of impact - because its driven and supported by new ideas, perspectives, and the potential for tailored application. In others words, it’s immortal!
