Hi all--Naomi Thiers w/ @elmagazine. Glad to be here. I wanted to be in the peace corps...or a singer :--) #ELMagChat

#ELMagChat A1 Collaboration, collaboration, collaboration. . .and lots of catchup on that needed now--see Kristina Doubet's piece in the issue.

#ELMagChat I think inviting inquiry/curiosity is part of A2. 2 key skills Silver, McTighe & Boutz discuss in their piece --inquiry & design--boost both empathy & creativity: ascd.org/el/articles/5-…

#ELMagChat A3 -- Huge important Q--how to show kids the MANY options out there...interested to hear what current eds think works for this task. (Paul Tough has good insights on not limiting students to 4-yr-college plans in his Q&A: ascd.org/el/articles/pa…)

Psyched to attend ASCD's Leadership Summit this weekend, DC's National Harbor. Look forward to hearing Crystal Edward's keynote, Robert Jackson's session on cultural awareness & healthy relationships, etc. etc. And meeting EL authors in person! #ascdleadershipsummit

Enjoying Crystal Edwards keynote at ASCD's LeadershipSummit: "Today is what's promised to you..tom'w isn't yours yet"--a golden reminder for educators. #ASCDLeadershipSummit

"If you call yourself a leader but don't expect to be talked about, you're not a leader." Robert Jackson, sess. on Managing Cultural Awareness-Building Healthy Relationships" in #ASCDLeadershipSummit

Gonna carry this gem from Rob. Jackson's session at #ASCDLeadershipSummit w/ me all day: "Joy is happiness that doesn't depend on what happens."--Food for thought & joy at Managing Cultural Awareness-Building Healthy Relationships session. :-)

Robert Jackson at ASCDLeadershipSummit breaks down for us 4 things all kids need--#1 being ACCEPTANCE. Resonates with his article in the Oct. 2021 EL: ascd.org/el/articles/af….

Still carrying this with me from Robert Jackson's session on cultural awareness and relationships at ASCD's Leadership Summit: "joy is happiness that doesn't depend on what happens to you." #ASCDLeadershipSummit.

In Shelly Jones-Holts session at EL's LeadershipSummit: "We need to lean into the discomfort we feel in.conversations on race b/c the equity convos we WANT to have are on the other side of that uncomfortableness." Wise talk in this session..

Provocative idea from Dr Shelly Holt at #ASCDLeadershipSummit: What if we used restorative practices to have real conversation Abt race & equity-Using 5 key Qs of restorative practices? Including the last question: "What can we do to make this right"? #ASCDLeadershipSummit

#ELMagChat Jay McTighe & C. Tucker's article in this issue gives great guidance for preparing students to take more autonomy in their learning--3 key elements of S agency.

Naomi Thiers, Man Editor of EL magazine here--excited to hear everyone's insights on curric. matters. :).#ELMagChat

See the wonderful piece from Sonja Cherry-Paul on getting away from a "learning loss mindset" right now: ascd.org/el/articles/fr… #ELMagChat
