The pandemic is just the tip of the iceberg for upcoming school change. The time is now. #CAISNLC2021 @CAIS_Schools

We have so much to learn from each other.

Really? With a global pandemic raging, the black lives matter movement enticing dramatic change, a teacher being decapitated, and mental health concerns about to explode....this is what they are concerned about!!!! That is not newsworthy.

It’s not long hours that hurts your children. The biggest impacts come when you’re distracted by work when you are with them. https://t.co/9zOt4bnWg2

@utschools @Rosemary_Evans Well deserved Rosemary!

Thanks to @luyenchou for a thought-provoking talk @CAIS_Schools Heads & Chairs Conference. A good reminder of the role data plays in school improvement. It's another way of "listening" to students and responding with thoughtful analysis. #CAISSchools #LearningNeverStops

Reinventing Education: Thanks to excellent presenters & discussion w/ colleagues @ the CAIS 2020 Heads & Chairs Virtual Conference. A great metaphor for our ability to adapt & thrive in COVID.

[Michel Lafrance @education4life]

Great conversation with Priya Lakhani and Yoshua Bengio on A.I. and its’ benefits in schools. ⁦@CAIS_Schools⁩

[Jason Rogers @jasonbrogers]

Compelling conversation with @luyenchou on the topic of the power of constructivism on #edtech and online education.

Big question ... have we seen an #educational evolution or revolution... and can it (or will it or should it) be sustained?

[Jason Rogers @jasonbrogers]

According to @LinkedIn - 4 of the top 10 jobs in 2019, didn’t exist just a few years ago.

What are our @CAIS_Schools doing to commit to preparing our graduates for this uncertain future?

Here we go... Day 2 of the @CAIS_Schools Heads and Chairs conference.

It’s not the same as we are used to... but we are committed to continuing to learn with, and from one another.

Thank you to @pgmacd and the entire team who are coordinating the efforts!

School Heads and Board Chairs are being inspired by Luyen Chou of 2U. How do we transform education for our students? How do we maximize the evolution of technology? ⁦@CAIS_Schools⁩

Women were first declared and recognized as persons in 🇨🇦 in 1929. Over 90 years later, women still fight for equal rights and access across all sectors like business, health and government. Let’s work together to build a more inclusive Canada for all. #PersonsDay

You don’t have to be an expert to be a leader in your school.

You just have to be a learner and share your learning with others.

[CAIS @CAIS_Schools]

This afternoon at the 2020 CAIS Heads & Chairs Conference, we are celebrating the retirements of Carlos Symonds, Head of School at Somersfield Academy and Tom Matthews, Headmaster of St. George's School.
Congratulations to you both and thank you for your service to CAIS Schools.

Beautiful, poignant yet soul-crushing excerpt read by @annahid Just ordered Breaking the Ocean and look forward to reading. There is so much we can learn from one another. Thank you for sharing with @CAIS_Schools Heads and Chairs at today's conference. #DiversityandInclusion

Inspiring words from two monumental leaders within our CAIS community: Carlos Symonds and Tom Matthews. @CAIS_Schools
