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
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).
Thanks @DataWiseHarvard & @edXOnline for this course! Easily accessible, applicable & impactful for different settings. Deepened my knowledge of using data & collaborative inquiry to improve teaching & learning & drive school development. Highly recommend! https://t.co/RXpJFSW3u4

Healthy development in the early years (particularly birth to three) provides the building blocks for educational achievement, economic productivity, responsible citizenship, lifelong health, strong communities & successful parenting of the next generation https://t.co/rHiGNDvZu4
Excited to bring together all educators and staff within @CognitaSchools in Asia to this year’s #CogCon21. Our goal is that the entire community gains something from interacting with our Cognita-based speakers from across the continent of Asia on Nov 5! #CognitaWay
