@aehines1 Thank you for posting, as thinking about these skills as they relate to reading was never on my radar! When do you think an appropriate time is to start focusing on executive skills in school?

[Devon Sherry-MacLeod @devon_sherrymac]

@Alexpfield Very interesting! I don't know how I feel about #2 as it gears to interests that for many/most will change over their lifetime. Do you think/have you seen any of these types of trends in Island schools @Alexpfield?

@tammy_sangster @rjgriffin123 I completely agree with you Tammy! LA outcomes are used in every subject and all day long!

@Praught19 Love this video! I did cringe a few times while watching, as I can see some of my past Ss getting seriously injured! It can obviously work, we would need to find the proper balance and ways to instill the importance of safety and responsibility in Ss.

@kristasifton This is a great reminder Krista! Being a model and role model for our Ss helps them expand on their reading behaviors!

Insightful talk on the importance of mastery based learning. Would we build a house without a solid foundation? #ed625newstuff #differentiatedinstruction #persevere https://t.co/Kit7c7CWhH via @TEDTalks

@nathdugas It would be interesting to see the data leading up to this decision. The results of standardized testing appears to be the driving force behind this change.

We need to place emphasis on the process, not just on the product. How do we get away from "Good job!"? #ed625newstuff #constructivefeedback https://t.co/2UL637affo via @WeAreTeachers

[Devon Sherry-MacLeod @devon_sherrymac]

The importance of authenticity, feedback, and nurture in Ss quest for improvement and competence. Ss need opportunities to develop intrinsic motivation. #ed625newstuff #intrinsicmotivation #competence https://t.co/E2qDTJgBf5

"Robots (AI) are going to cause unemployment" Will remaining status quo in curriculum cause our Ss to get left behind in a digital world of automation?

@saravisser6 Very forward thinking article. Should we shift our teaching to be focusing more on the process than the product? Or is this a discretionary suggestion?

[Devon Sherry-MacLeod @devon_sherrymac]

@gallant_desiree I am seeing this more and more in the primary grades. I feel like it is empowering for them to fulfill a sense of duty!

[Devon Sherry-MacLeod @devon_sherrymac]

@gallant_desiree Tough question! I think it's totally up to the discretion and comfort level of the teacher!

@kristasifton @TheEdCollab Ugh, guilty of these "quick fixes"! Thank you for sharing and helping me shift my thinking @kristasifton

[Devon Sherry-MacLeod @devon_sherrymac]

@rjgriffin123 I couldn't agree more!
