Does your school have a rule to squash all play fighting? They could be stopping a healthy part of development and processing of the world around us. There’s a differences between kids just beating the crap out of each other & rough and tumble play ⬇️

@GrinchManifesto @RethinkingJames Money, control and a lack of trust in professionals.

[mlitchfield @moiferet]

@GrinchManifesto @RethinkingJames I completely disagree, many educational systems are taking away the agency of teachers and their opportunity to respond to the learners in front of them. Big decisions are often made by politicians and those not working directly with children.

Provide children with time, space & safety to discover the world. Provide teachers with time, space & safety to discover children discovering the world. Share & reflect on your discoveries. Do this every day & you will find love & joy all around you. #AnjiPlay #TruePlay

My wish for 2022 is this…. #TruePlay in primary schools worldwide 🤗 #AnjiPlay

[AnjiPlay @anjiplay]

Ms. Cheng and four of her preschool directors from Anji are working with the Ministry of Education to revise the National primary school curriculum to eliminate academic instruction from the first years of primary, and make it True Play-based. #TruePlay #AnjiPlay

[mlitchfield @moiferet]

@anjiplay Please make this the new pandemic! Play-based learning in primary schools worldwide 🤗

[mlitchfield @moiferet]

@RethinkingJames Very interested in this conference! I'll be marking my calendar:)

I hope this catches on and becomes the norm not just in Early Years, but in schools for children of all ages! ❤️ @anjiplay @williamdoylenyc @pasi_sahlberg #play #education #freetolearn #letthechildrenplay

[AnjiPlay @anjiplay]

Not only has China banned testing children in the 1st years of school, & reigned in edtech, but, more importantly, it has elevated Anji Play to a National model of early education, rejecting adult interference and guidance of play, returning the right of #TruePlay to the child.

@ToscaKilloran @versoschool Unfortunately not……yet another example of bosses not leaders.

[mlitchfield @moiferet]

A must read for the administrators @versoschool Serious reflection needed there.

My leadership practice has been focused on DEI work as of late. Here is a new article on the challenges women face in leadership & what we can do to help. https://t.co/mYeEs0xCoC #womeninleadership #diversityequityinclusion #genderequity #workplaceculture #educationalleadership

“We need to imagine what school could be, and dream together to make that dream a reality.” I believe in #PLAY for all kids, of all ages, to best support healthy and balanced development. It’s time to re-evaluate our mindsets regarding schools and learning.

@IntEdToday Have you considered that perhaps the LEARNER should be the driving force?

[mlitchfield @moiferet]

I'm so excited to see a school like this close to my home-grounds in Australia! The value of nature in a child's development and well-being cannot be underestimated or over stated! Thank you @catherineOehlman
