I just love sport education units. Teams playing agree which sport they want to play (hockey, basketball or team handball), duty teams collect data, take pictures, interview players after game and refs whistle and record scores. Ways to capture their conceptual thinking...

G11 Students attended an Innovation Crash Course from Geneva Business School professor Francesco Derchi yesterday. Professor Derchi is passionate about spreading creative thinking within organisations, and his motto is, "Creativity will save the world." Thank you, Professor!

Our first exchange student from @GWACademyChi, Nikita, has joined our classes and took part in activities and sports, all while enriching his experience and cultural learning. Nikita very much enjoyed the alpine slopes.

Physical literacy is just as important as the ability to read and write.

The most important step toward developing physical literacy is learning fundamental movement skills.

If you can learn the fundamentals skills, you will enjoy a wide variety of activities!

... climbing is all about problem solving within the contaycbif the individual. Your solution may not be my solution, which is not only ok, it’s expected.

[Peg Keiner @PegKeiner]

The #climbing gym is my new favorite learning space. #Differentiation is all over the walls as mixed ability levels sit together collaborating on solving climbing problems. It’s a beautiful opportunity to watch someone iterate a solution & examine how they approach a challenge.

Last night we presented our year long research project in front of our #Appledistinguishedschools research cohort! Thank you to @AppleEDU for connecting us to edtech researchers that helped us refine best practices! @GWAcademyChi
