The @ECISchools team are rockstars!
It’s been a fantastic #ECISleadership2023: learning from inspirational leaders around facets of school culture and change and sharing the @ACSintschools Teacher Residency Programme with the brilliant @mathsimum. (And dancing the YMCA.)

@courosa Using it for student scaffolding-project was TED talks. Had ChatGPT create each student's first draft of speech. They used these to identify sub topics for research and pulled hooks and calls to action. Felt super successful and good way to integrate convos about ChatGPT ethics

“In a very real sense, we teach kids what’s easy to test instead of what’s important to learn.” - provocative keynote from Ted @dintersmith of @SchoolCouldBe opening #AAIE2023 today @AAIEGlobal

[What School Could Be @SchoolCouldBe]

Question: do you remember any information you crammed for a standardized test? Do you use any of it in the real world? If not... why are we still using them?

Can’t believe it’s been a week since this fantastic day of learning for our UK educators. 60 engaging and diverse sessions, all run by our very own @ACSintschools faculty for the 400 colleagues in attendance.

A common source of disappointment is recency bias: weighing the last week more heavily than the last year.

Zooming in on the immediate past magnifies slumps. Zooming out farther reveals upward slopes.

Progress is rarely visible at a snapshot in time. It unfolds over a lifetime.

Virtual PD leaders! We are looking for a thought leader and practitioner of #UDL for a virtual morning session for UK- and Doha-based faculty (BST). It's early for US #professionallearning leaders, so we may focus on EU, Africa, Asia, or Aus. Recommendations? #udlchat #inclusion
