A4: Restorative & sustaining practices! As a community, embrace that true accountability means taking responsibility and making things right. This means a shift away from punitive approaches and towards understanding, empathy, agency, and responsibility. #tlap #just4you #EDUsky

A3: Self awareness, listening and empathy is the biggest piece here. In all relationships if we can incorporate those 3 aspects it no longer focuses on blame but it focuses on responsibility and taking the next steps to heal and resolve the situation #tlap

A3: As an ed. consultant, I am constantly steeped in research. 1 thing is for sure: Science is not settled; it's always growing. I shift from blame by remembering this is true for us humans, too. May we never be settled, but always learning. That opens up space to say: "I was wrong." #tlap #just4you

I have helped many G6-G8 students learn Eng. when they came to me w/none. I saw them as knowledgeable humans & saw their other languages as assets. They didn't need remediation (you can't remediate what hasn't been built yet); they were learning something brand new. They owned their learning. #tlap

A1: Many assume you get the power first & then "have to be" responsible. However, this flip illustrates that effective leaders are responsible first, & power grows from there. When you are responsible and walk with integrity, people WANT you to lead. There's a big difference. #tlap #just4you #EDUsky

What a great journey I've had w/Korea Foreign School! "Learning to spell is vital. We know rote memorization isn't the way to go. Of course, we do need to teach spelling. How can we teach it in ways that are inquiry-rich? How can we ensure deep learning & understanding?" #just4you #EDUsky #pypchat

Myth: Inquiry is letting kids do whatever they want. 💣Truth bomb: It’s 1 of the most carefully crafted approaches you can take. In my convo w/Edwina Cottino, we talked about how effective inquiry demands intentional design. 🎧Listen: bloomingcurious.com/podcast-epis... #just4you #EDUsky #PYPchat

It was a gift to explore this vital ? w/ learning leaders from across the UK. Although we only had 1 hour, we immediately dove in & grew new, actionable ideas together.💖🙌 I'm sending a GIANT thank-you to Maggie Hos-Mcgrane and the team at IBSCA for making this possible! #just4you #EDUsky #pypchat

Reading is dynamic & synergistic!

Restorative&sustaining practices are the long game. It's faster to punish (no iPad, etc.). BUT: Who is taking accountability & making things right? Are the needs of those harmed addressed? Play the long game. Support children in developing character. I ❤️ed exploring this w/SMIC! #just4you #edusky

There's a difference between memorizing & remembering. There are things I memorized to ace an exam. Do I remember those things today? No. Things I practiced & connected to conceptual understandings are the things that I remember. I ❤️ed jumping into this w/ SMIC Shanghai! #just4you #EDUsky #PYPchat

What a 🎁 to reunite w/ the wonderful Colegio Anglo Colombiano! I met w/ a task force passionate about bringing inquiry-rich #mathematics to life at The Anglo. 💭 How might we braid together our #IBPYP values, #SingaporeMath resources, & a Workshop approach? 💭 💖💖 #just4you #edusky #pypchat

When you are at The Colombo, you belong. While diving into inquiry-rich math (see here: www.instagram.com/reel/C_yj3Uy...) from PreK through secondary school was fantastic, what fills my ❤️ even more is knowing these humans. Plus, the leadership team is extraordinary! #just4you #edusky #PYPchat

Have you met a 3-year old that can say "stegosaurus"? The lesson? Don't be afraid of using big words w/ children. When we LIVE those words w/ them in context, they own them for life. What a JOY it was to examine oral language development across 9 Affinitas Ed. schools! #just4you #edusky #PYPchat
