I've noticed with my college students that they think they learn more when it's "sage on the stage" style teaching. I'm just not a lecture type person, so this is good news!

Proud to be nominated for our school’s work in the #Canopy project! We were 1 of 235 schools nationwide identified for innovative approaches to student-centered learning. https://t.co/2d65nMvGpq @ChristensenInst

We've had a great start to the year! Our students have been creating, building, goal setting, and collaborating so well since the first day. #adifferentkindofschool #morethananumber

[Courtney Luce @ForwardTrending]

Yes!

[Courtney Luce @ForwardTrending]

Obviously the latter, but why do we only measure the first group in education?

[Nathan Lang-Raad, Ed.D. @drlangraad]

Are we impressed by...
1. High test scores
2. Good grades
3. High GPA
4. Compliant behavior
5. Perfect attendance

Or are we impressed by...
1. Creating outside the box
2. Communicating effectively
3. Sincerity
4. Integrity
5. Self-awareness

Cute message about an important issue!

[The Fred Tjardes School of Innovation @FT_SofI]

A very important PSA from our kindergartners on how to take care of our oceans and the environment!

When people say "high performing" schools and "low performing" schools, do they ever mean anything other than test scores? Should they?

[Courtney Luce @ForwardTrending]

Important question: What do you believe to be the purpose of education?

A couple of our middle school students designed this loft, read the code book, pulled permits, and secured funding to have it built. Now they are spending the weekend building! #adifferentkindofschool #authenticlearning

@funnymonkey I just quoted this in my dissertation (now trying to figure out how to APA cite a Twitter post).

Our 7th graders teaching K-2 about the aquaponics system they built. They are so proud of their project and are incredible teachers! #adifferentkindofschool

A4: Morning meetings are priceless. A daily morning meeting to get everyone's voice in the room and to have the kids do shout-outs and celebrations is great (and simple) for community building. #CelebratED

[Courtney Luce @ForwardTrending]

@Greg_Moffitt A3: Help them learn to name their emotions and identify healthy outlets. #CelebratED

[Courtney Luce @ForwardTrending]

@Greg_Moffitt A1: Use your local community as a learning space! #CelebrateEd

Sometimes, the best way to do something is to do it - and then learn from it. Let’s do something awesome today. Let’s get walking!
