Researchers at MIT have questioned whether SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-bound) actually work. They suggest we might get better outcomes if we make our goals FAST (frequently discussed, ambitious, specific and transparent) not SMART.

Currently reading #LeadingtheWholeTeacher … a great and inspiring read! Thank you @AllysonApsey for providing the whole teacher framework and the toolkit of strategies and ideas to help educators feel valued! Looking to adapting the six pillars for my department. @burgessdave

[Dave Burgess @burgessdave]

The concept:
@AllysonApsey asked teachers what they most want from their admin.
A pattern emerged. The responses could be grouped into 6 main categories.
#LeadingTheWholeTeacher was created with strategies to address all 6.

So let me get this straight: 15.9% of Canadian households (i.e. 5,800,000 Canadians) are experiencing food insecurity right now...and Loblaws just reported $529,000,000 in fourth-quarter profits?

How is this allowed?

Apathy/passivity in learning - biggest problem in classrooms? Kids just waiting to be spoonfed every single lesson, teachers bending over backwards to accommodate every demand, kids not caring at all, teachers blamed for them not caring - some schools accepting status quo.
