The recent ban in Tennessee has had me reorganize my reading list for my #IBDP #LangNLit class. @jeanniemath – at Beijing, People's Republic of China
FUN FACT: Kids who read Maus don’t grow into adults who constantly compare minor inconveniences to the Holocaust.

Making time for wellness during online learning is so important. So happy to teach in a community that understands this. Thanks @WAB_LIVE for making the ice available! #uniquelywab
Check out my brilliant wife @junipa80 and her excellent colleagues doing fabulous things.
Visit our Grade 3 learning community, where we eliminated homerooms in favor of flexible groups, times, and spaces. Watch the video and tune into our podcast: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas… Thanks @AngelaLanglands @MartaSmithEd @NinaTriado @junipa80 Kim & Karen! #uniquelywab @ibpyp

This is really cool. Now imagine this with snakes and ladders. Only snakes weren’t seen as a penalty. And the ladders could go to a multitude of places from a multitude of places. And it wasn’t a race to get to the end first. @amancalledj @lindscot @sjtylr – at Beijing, People's Republic of China

Finished a successful seminar titled The principles of yacht rock - a critical analysis, with @amancalledj. My favourite line of nonsense: “the misogynistic patriarchal corporate class harnessed Yacht Rock as a mechanism to weaponise the sensitive white hairy beta man.” – at Beijing, People's Republic of China
Getting into the thick of it. Deconstructing texts and co-constructing understanding in the new @WAB_LIVE high school learning community space. Very excited to be given the opportunity to extend my practice in the service of learning. @lindscot @amancalledj @jena_simon #mywab

Not exactly revolutionary, but I like the “Thoughts, Questions, Epiphanies” format. Worth adding into your reading protocol repertoire. #langNlit – at Comox, British Columbia

This got me thinking about our responsibility as teachers to foster traits of factfulness, criticality, and reflection. What does this look like in terms of personalised learning? Do changes in pedagogy change our role as agents of citizenship? #TOK @sjtylr @lindscot @johndarcy – at Comox, British Columbia

Education must aim orient learners to the power relations around them. We cannot discuss the future of education without acknowledging its inherently political core. – at Pemberton, British Columbia

No doubt about it, we need to normalise teaching alongside each other. We also need to normalise a language to talk to each about our practice and what we assume to be “normal”. It starts with the door. Mine is always open. Come on in. – at Beijing, People's Republic of China

Just submitted my abstract on the necessity to cultivate critical international identities. Hope I get selected. Global stewardship and citizenship in an increasingly connected global world must be at the heart of the future of education. Come join the dialogue. – at Beijing, People's Republic of China

Really love this. Aligning pedagogies of hope with the neuroscience of “How Humans Learn”. Asking “beautiful questions” and situating students to “conduct work that is similar to the intellectual labor done by their teachers.” @johndarcy @sjtylr @lindscot lareviewofbooks.org/article/…
Even the ugly side. Education for a better future world must not shirk its responsibly to teach learners how to scrutinise power and critically evaluate their own role in structural inequities. – at Beijing, People's Republic of China
Teaching for thinking, problem solving, and ingenuity means wading in the mess for a while. Teachers need to help students be more comfortable in that space. @amancalledj blogs.ibo.org/blog/2019/04/2… – at Beijing, People's Republic of China
Excited to start this journey in our efforts to reimagine what the educational experience can be. – at Beijing, People's Republic of China
These are the 10 signature areas that will be included in each of the new #learningspaces we are creating for the future of learning at WAB. Awesome results of collaboration among our faculty, students, and @RosanBosch Studio. #FLoW21 wab.edu/flow21/blog/posts/~b…
