Finishing week 3 of #distancelearning thinking about how the best way to serve our students lies in how well we serve each other. It reminds me of this Maōri proverb.

This is an amazing thread. We can, and should, come out of this tragedy with a clearer sense of how backwards our priorities have been. Disasters allow us to question what we’ve become used to. A better world is possible.

This is a wonderful and thoughtful read. It captures and synthesises so many thoughts that have been bubbling in my mind over the past few weeks.

This is such a wonderful episode! Thank you so much Brené Brown and @marcbrackett! #SEL is my favourite part of the day, and even more important as we navigate #distancelearning. It’s so important to keep this at the forefront with both our students & our teams.

God bless the teachers. I love them so much.

Leading difficult conversations with emotional intelligence is paramount to the healthy culture of a school community. This echos what I have been thinking about in the last couple of weeks. Thanks you RULER & @YaleEmotion ! rulerapproach.org/wp-content/upl…

So many great sounding books I want to explore here. Maybe starting with Humanocracy, Inclusify, Leading Without Authority, and In Praise of Walking. How about you? Deb Gordon 祁皿 Gitane Reveilleau Fiona Moss Sarah Metzger CHughes Kirsten Ashley Reinhardt

I’m in!! Can’t wait to dive into this. 🤓

We often reveal our values through the qualities we admire in others. Celebrating generosity, curiosity, and integrity shows depth of character. Being more impressed by fame and fortune or status and appearance might be a sign of shallowness. #SundayThoughts

Students exploring what our school mission means to them. For one student, living means to ‘find the fire in your bones’. Another student, used to think the mission could only happen at school, and now thinks it can happen anywhere. Happy teacher! #yislearning #LiveLearnLead

Today, students reflected on their strengths & challenges using the Learner Profile attributes. Tomorrow, we will look at we can learn from looking at the data with the some guiding questions. I’m curious to find out their thoughts and wonderings. #yislearning #pyp

Wonderful conversations around our Learning Profile attribute data today. The students were excited to see how we could represent who we are in this way. I was so happy when they thought about how this data might connect to our class values. #yislearning
