Love this. Great reminder to value and set space for the introverted souls in our workplaces and schools. Sharing of ideas and actions can happen in quieter ways.

I love this. Agency is more than giving students choice on assessments. It’s more than giving them OUR choices. It’s about empowering them, and intentionally planning. 🙌🏼

What is student agency?

Did you know there are facets of student agency?

Agency is more than choice on assignments. Agency is about students getting to know themselves better as learners, as people, and as active members of a learning community.

How often do we give students choice in their learning? Choice in what they learn? Choice in how they learn? Choice in when they learn? Who dictates the learning? Interest and choice = motivation. #differentiation

[Wendy G @miss_gore]

@trev_mackenzie I used to. Students planned their own tasks within the statement of inquiry, planned how they would show their learning, planned how they could collaborate with others. It was bloody amazing. They knew the trust was there, and that I was right beside them.

[Tania Lattanzio IGE @igeeducators]

When concepts are emphasised over content there so many pathways and ideas students may investigate through a conceptual lens. It is crucial teachers allow time for students to pursue their own inquiries. This respects students’ and provides motivation for further discoveries.

A friend sent me this, and then I found the work of @Notsalmon and thought it was the beautiful touch the world needs right now.

[Wendy G @miss_gore]

@corey_alycia Me too. So much so.

[Wendy G @miss_gore]

@corey_alycia This is why I admire you, Ms Alycia; you use your power to make great changes in education.

It's #RUOKDay, a reminder that every day is a day to start a conversation that could change a life.

Today, learn what to say after #RUOK so you can keep the conversation going when someone says they're not OK: https://t.co/ZgxxUnuUVx #theresmoretosay

Great reminder about how we are currently feeling.

[MindShift @MindShiftKQED]

The malaise so many of us feel...is common in research on burnout. But other emotions accompany it: disappointment, anger, grief, sadness, exhaustion, stress, fear, anxiety. No one can function at full capacity w/ all that going on. @tarahaelle @Medium https://t.co/RlnHShiagk

@chyrelanne_k Always inspiring CK! Hope you’re enjoying your new post! ❤️

[Wendy G @miss_gore]

@AlexSVenet Thank you for this. It’s been on my mind a lot. Even if our kids (and teachers) are ok, they may just not be in a place of readiness to write/talk about it at school. Providing choices is a good reminder.

[Wendy G @miss_gore]

Even in remote learning, we were spoilt with chatting with @ellyswartz after reading Finding Perfect. Elly reminds kids they are not just one thing, and her heart for mental health issues and care for kids is so evident. Our kids need this. 💜 We need more books like Elly’s.

[Wendy G @miss_gore]

@chyrelanne_k Such a cool idea! It’s nice to see those faces on the side. 💜💜

[Wendy G @miss_gore]

@corey_alycia And you inspire me. 😘

[Wendy G @miss_gore]

@corey_alycia Can we work together? Please?

[Wendy G @miss_gore]

@ellyswartz I’m with @MissNikkiIn5th. I support any book you write that has delicious treats in it. But #whatsawhoppiepie? 😝

[Wendy G @miss_gore]

@ellyswartz @victoriajcoe You are both amazing! I get the fear, but you always do such fabulous work and will continue to do so. ❤️
