I've worked with thousands of teachers in every content area preK-12 on boosting our practice for an ever-changing world.

Here are my top 3 low-lift, high-impact shifts. 🧵

@NanyonjoAllen @yaujauku @TheBaySZ @EmilyCave2 @IntlPhysEd_Matt @ISSCommunity @LBopenbook @j0hnburns @DazaLeticia @LEGO_Education Hello, at that time it was cheaper and easier for one of our teachers to buy them in the U.S. and bring them to China with him. I don't know how much shipping and taxes would have cost.

I just taught a @2ndStepProgram lesson to grade 1 students about Accidents and they clapped after my "puppet show"! They are so kind and they are so ready for the next lesson, Showing Care and Concern. Yay! #SEL

Imagine a nature-positive future, where you go to the supermarket and only have good choices. What could that look like?

Childhood is not a race to see how quickly a child can read, write and count. It is a small window of time to learn and develop at the pace that is right for each individual child. Earlier is not better. ~ Magda Gerber

*Every time* scholars get sent down to my office, I use it as an opportunity to get to know them better. I ask questions about their life and we talk about the things they enjoy. Discipline can also be building the relationship with kids.

There is a collaborative conversation beginning on our class' @Seesaw blog where students are teaching each other how to use virtual backgrounds during #zoom calls. On so many levels and in so many ways, just... wow.

The Thai government has passed a resolution to stop the use of single use products such as foam lunch boxes, plates & cups, and plastic bags, cups & straws, by the end of this year. I have already seen signs up at markets and in national parks forbidding these items. #Thailand

Teachers, if there is one solace you can take away from these turbulent times is that your students may not remember much of what you taught, but they will remember that you cared, showed grace, made them feel valued, and supported. They will remember that forever.

[Ellen MacArthur Foundation @circulareconomy]

Rather than treating the symptoms of plastic waste and pollution, we need to address the cause, and rethink the whole plastic system and what is being put on the market, focusing our innovation efforts, like never before, upstream

@educopilot Sure thing. I enjoyed your presentation about the One Minute Documentary at the #2020Changemaker conference yesterday.

Georgia is suspending standardized testing for the upcoming school year & formal teacher evals and are seeking to permanently cut certain tests. This will also save $10's of millions from the budget that can be used toward teacher pay, etc. Let's hope other states step up!
