@ReneeDeviller@kj_macleod The one statement "Does she even know what calm feels like?" is so true. Many students really do not understand what we are asking when we make blanket statements like "calm down". We need to take the time to truly understand our students and their understanding/experiences.
@kelly_kbanks @kj_macleod I think when it comes to literacy skills we need to support them in everything we do. There are so many different print sources that we need to take the opportunity to help students use their literacy skills in all areas.
@JonesKHeather @melinda_crowell@kj_macleod Heather, I so agree. I think the term learning through 'play' sometimes diminishes the importance. I love the wording you used, "engaging in living experiences".
Follow up from my last tweet...also from PISA, happiness rankings of students have many of the heavy hitting countries ranking at the bottom. Which is more important? Finland appears to be getting both right.

Singapore outperforms all other participating countries/economies in science according to PISA, but does that make its education system superior?

@ChristinaCashi4@kj_macleod@EdSurge I love this idea! It could work in so many ways. As a behaviour resource teacher with primary students, I could see using this system with students using social skills we are working on! Thanks for sharing, you have given me some work to do!
@kj_macleod Technology is changing so fast and has become such a key figure in students lives and in the workforce. Incorporating it in any way we can I think only prepares our students better.
How can we move beyond teaching from textbooks? Students need to be problem solvers in the truest sense, not just filling in the prescribed blanks. Teaching curriculum content does not have to be "from the book".
