@aartibellara Dangerous!

@sbkaufman Agreed! My 17-year-old daughter (qualifyies for TAG services) came home in tears after her first college chem exam believing that she won’t be a marine scientist because she “sucks at chemistry.” I talked her off the ledge but no thanks to obsessive achievement culture.

@SergioAgnoli Thank you for such a thoughtful curation of interesting papers. I learned so much and was inspired! Cross-pollination has already taken place and we'll see what blooms from it!

[Megan Atha @Just4Creativity]

@aartibellara So sorry to see this! Thinking of you and your colleagues…

Mr. Pickles, a critically endangered species of tortoise at the Houston Zoo, finally became a father at the age of 90. He and his partner, Mrs. Pickles, welcomed three tortoise hatchlings: Dill, Gherkin and Jalapeño.

@SEPennington I was lucky enough to have a colleague back me up when she overheard students in the hallway after class struggling with my bubble bursting news about learning styles. Apparently I was too gleeful in sharing the news. Thanks, Noelle!

I think the message in Data Science needs to be: Don't believe everything you read.

I'd like to thank Rafael Nicolas Fermin Cota for pointing me to this modified graphic from a recent Harvard Business Review article.

Here's my take. 🧵

Effective self-regulation is a key to successful learning. Such self-regulation depends on metacognitive monitoring and judgement of both learning activities and emotions. #Edpsychconnections https://t.co/25tIzhHhIJ

[Educational Psychologist @EdPsychJournal]

In their 2019 @EdPsychJournal piece, Stephanie M. Jones, Michael W. McGarrah, and Jennifer Kahn discuss how the science of social and emotional learning (SEL) is a distinct blend of developmental and applied sciences. https://t.co/oPdT7yHQ3l

@JebPuryear @Roger_Beaty @JebPuryear I was also playing around with SemDis using data collected from DT tasks completed by middle school Odyssey of the Mind kids. @Roger_Beaty was kind enough to provide some guidance.

[Megan Atha @Just4Creativity]

@JebPuryear Stay tuned, we might have something at FGCU for you soon.

[Dr. Aarti Bellara @aartibellara]

Simply “tweaking” a measure does not mean the psychometric properties will hold even if your tweak is what you consider non-substantive. Be prepared to re-establish reliability and validity evidence.

@SusanHibbardPhD @JamesClear @SusanHibbardPhD Learning how to say "no" without guilt is the hardest thing for me. What's the secret?
