[Angela Duckworth @angeladuckw]

In a world full of digital distractions, context is crucial for behavior change.

Psychologists call it situation modification—changing environments to support better choices.

That’s why I launched Phones in Focus—a national study on how school phone policies can support student focus, well-being, and success.

Positive thinking doesn't always lead to peak performance, but negative thinking almost always leads to poor performance.

Using @OpenAI to generate practice questions for Grade 9 Math. Students realized the challenges of making questions with answers that “work nicely”. ChatGPT can give students the “more practice” they hope for while focusing on multiple choice or word problems, depending on needs

Honoured to have the pleasure to show off the wicked supports and awesome students we have @TCSBears to Mr. Keith Gray, Mr. Rob Purves, and Mr. George Booth '61. Excited to continue learning how to best support students with dyslexia & literacy needs.

• If you're wrong, admit it.
• If you're confused, ask questions.
• If you're stuck, seek for help.
• If you make mistake, learn from it.
• If you learn something, teach others

Fun teamwork activity to end class today focused on communication, visual-spatial skills, and collaboration

Big Win by the Jr. Gryphons in house volleyball #fun #sports

[Grant Elson @ElsonEducates]

Bickle Gryphons welcoming in the newest members. They did a great job unloading cars, touring, and answering questions. Excited for this crew and school year.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When groups meet to brainstorm, good ideas are lost. People bite their tongues due to conformity pressure, noise, and ego threat.

A better approach is brainwriting: generate ideas separately, then meet to assess and refine.

Group wisdom begins with individual creativity.

A win for the @CleGuardians and another amazing experience @fenwaypark

[Grant Elson @ElsonEducates]

Got my ticket to watch @cal_quantrill47 represent the @TCSBears at Fenway tonight. A one night only @CleGuardians fan.
