https://t.co/qRltAnP9Vm We're still accepting applications for K1 and K2! Opening in Fall 2020 near the Forest Hills T station. Happy to set up a phone or video call with anyone interested in learning more about Croft.

https://t.co/ot1ibdQ7sm We may be cooped up now but we're planning Croft field trips to local businesses & orgs in JP & Rozzie for the fall! Anyone willing to host us? @jamaicaplain @JPLocalFirst @RosMainStreet @ArnoldArboretum

https://t.co/JQ4qxRHe3k I've been missing hanging out with kids on the daily, so here are a few rather cute ones doing great learning at Croft in Providence!

At #NewProfitED18, we're excited to dig into Chan Zuckerberg Initiative's whole child framework that is grounded in the science of human learning and development and 6 key domains that matter deeply for every individual’s development and success.

[New Profit @newprofit]

As Becky Crowe of Chan Zuckerberg Initiative put it: "The definition of student success must encompass the full human being. The sky is the limit when it comes to developing the potential of young people when we are able to take an integrated approach to whole child development."

@heidifessenden @kvanduzer @lynseymathed Love that Heidi - I'm working in Brookline now and would love to do some lesson study work in my school. Let me know if you're doing another and I'll try to come on over!

Think beyond the “correctness” of mathematical problems... Interpret conceptual & contextual meaning. #TWTalks #Worthy2Belong

[Nicole Farach @NicoleCirino2]

@DrJMatth tells us that “finishing” word problems prevents us from reducing the meaning of mathematics to simply a correct answer #Worthy2Belong #twtalks #AACTE2018

[Peter Cipparone @pcipparone]

Ooooh my teacher mind is ignited: the answer is not the answer in the iphone problem posed by @DrJMath - it's a spark for further ideas #TWTalks #AACTE2018

[Peter Cipparone @pcipparone]

Keeping track of how you're using the 4 Hs in the classroom - home, hobbies, hopes, and heritage - is simple but brilliant #TWTalks @DrJMath

Teachers must see through empathy. This means seeing beyond attributes in students that affect classroom performance. #TWTalks #Worthy2Belong #AACTE18 @DrJMatth

[Darrius Robinson @MrDarriusR]

"Seeing through Empathy" @DrJMatth #Worthy2Belong #twtalks #AACTE18

[Bill Waychunas @waychunas]

High expectations (maybe through the label of no excuses) without teachers having critical awareness leads to perpetuating inequity. This is the diagram I’ve been waiting for! Brilliant in its simplicity

Which hopes of Black students do we write off as implausible? Do we do the same for White students? #Worthy2Belong #TWTalks #AACTE18

[Darrius Robinson @MrDarriusR]

@LisaDelpit "Listen"
@deborah_ball "What does it take to do that?"
@LisaDelpit "That simple. One word: Shutup!"

[Deborah Loewenberg Ball @deborah_ball]

Can teachers learn to disrupt racism when it’s in the air we all breathe? @lisadelpit believes all children can learn and that all adults can learn #TWTalks @TeachingWorks

[Darrius Robinson @MrDarriusR]

The assaults against belonging are not just systemic, they are interpersonal and enacted by teachers @DrJMatth #Worthy2Belong #twtalks #AACTE

[Darrius Robinson @MrDarriusR]

Decolonizing Teacher Education includes a recognition that schooling is connected to the colonial project of subjugation and oppression for the purposes of hypercapitalism #TWTalks #AACTE18
