Not a disaster - more of an opportunity for reimagining, reframing a new paradigm for intentional learning. #noconstraints

@RhettFielke The etymology of ‘rigour’ is from the Latin for stiffness - doesn’t apply then to learning, but if rigour implies thoroughness then it has a place.

@RhettFielke Grades are often shortcuts for lazy educators.

We're not here to transform students. We're here to provide the environment & conditions to help students find their humanity & awaken their potential. Our biggest contribution is to allow children to shape their identities through work that matters @navarrepca #iotf5

@RhettFielke Intermittent collaboration

[Daniel Pink @DanielPink]

Is it better to solve problems in isolation or by collaborating with others?

Harvard research says . . . neither.

The best solutions come from "intermittent collaboration" -- group work punctuated by breaks to think & work by ourselves.

Seriously, @leighsales would make a better PM than anyone she spoke to or who was referred to tonight. Looking forward to 2moro night!!

I'm comfortable giving the student who needed 4 attempts to master a skill the same grade as the student who only needed 1 attempt.

'If' a student learns is more important to me than 'when.'
