Thank you to @Steve_Puttick for the invitation to present some work on #ClimateChangeEducation to his talented Geography PGCE teachers. 🌳 @OxfordDeptofEd

The most important quality in a mentor, teacher, or coach is not how much they know. It's how much they care.

Caring is more than taking pride in your success. It's feeling joy as you progress.

The people you want in your corner are the ones who celebrate your growth.

Don’t let the victories go to your head or the defeats get to your heart.

Fear doesn't prevent you from doing things. Doubt does.

Fear drives you. Doubt kills you.

“Simplicity is the end result of long, hard work, not the starting point.”

— Frederick Maitland

[Shane Parrish @shaneparrish]

The point at work isn’t doing every task at 80% but understanding which tasks can be done at 50% and which need to be done at 100%.

Performance isn’t doing everything equally well. Performance is going all in on the things that make a difference.

So grateful to @TTHFuchs for being able to co-present our action research project https://t.co/Oqg8pctgRe at @AERA_EdResearch conference in Toronto yesterday. Many inspiring new ideas for us from some of the 14K educators gathered to discuss Ed research. #LCSlearns @Cohort21

Climate change is more expensive than the carbon tax /via @globeandmail https://t.co/zz7HR2qwmS This REALLY shouldn't be a political issue. We need to talk more about inter generational justice.

[Mike Arsenault @mrarsenault]

I like that Digital Transformation has the possibility of being 'small, personable, agile' but I am curious if 'efficiency' means that we may also narrow our perspectives. #LCSlearns #Cohort21

[ᴛʜʀᴜᴡᴏʀᴋ @ThruWork]

Digital Transformation (DT) Is Not About Technology https://t.co/kzcj29zngs “most digital technologies provide possibilities for efficiency gains and customer intimacy.”

This pt reinforces the fundamental aim of DT - to get small again. Small is efficient, personable, agile.

[Daniel Pink @DanielPink]

When you need an emotional boost or mental break, don't check your phone.

Instead, go outside. Science says even 5 minutes outdoors can make a big difference.
