I highly recommend getting involved in the Open Canopy Project (formerly Out of Eden Learn). https://t.co/6FeKPPC3zM
The learning journeys practice perspective taking, making thinking visible, and comparing worldviews. The project/the book also has helpful tools. Total win!

Harvard's Project Zero Team has a fabulous new resource: The Open Canopy Handbook: Slowing Down, Sharing Stories, Making Connections.

Questions all students can reflect on no matter what they are learning about help them know themselves better as learners.

How did you get stuck in your learning? How did you get unstuck?

What "tricky learning" happened? What made it tricky?

What are you most proud of in your learning? Why?

Reflection as a vehicle for independence is an incredibly powerful thing!

In our provincial youth survey, more than half of youth reported poor or fair mental health. They also told us what works to support better MH. Let’s work together to turn these stats around. #WorldMentalHealthDay @CDCofBC @SFU_FHS @BCCHresearch @HELP_UBC

@luudisk Congratulations! This is more than earned. Such an informative, thoughtful, genuine, honest, and helpful read. Should be required reading for every educator and every citizen. Love your work!

@brettdrc I asked my real estate agent 15+ years ago to contact the owner because I was interested in buying it. They weren’t interested in selling. There had (at that time) been a dispute with one of the tradespeople. Owners do 1 project a year on it (to avoid taxes I assume).

I like to support women starting businesses, going to school, and leading their communities. One way I do this is by microlending through @Kiva and just loaned to Yessenia. https://t.co/MpAjeNDuUr

Today is my 32nd birthday.

Over the last month, I asked several 90-year-olds what advice they would give to their 32-year-old selves.

@tsang_evelyn @MisterCavey @SGillespie81 I have an amazing colleague (not on Twitter) who is an expert at this. Let me connect you! Please DM me.

[brenda ball @misssball]

@SGillespie81 @MisterCavey @tsang_evelyn I would think it would provide some feedback (if created well); however in order to be instructive and provide feed forward, more and personalized is likely needed.
