Cardboard Team Mascots for the first phase of our Plastic Solutions Studio in Design for Change. A good hands-on design challenge for period 1 after a week off. #fisstories #designED #fisd4c @VafaAnderson

What a great graphic. Teachers are not in it for the money! Even in an International setting, where salaries are somewhat negotiable, it’s still all about wellbeing. Staff will stay, & perform better, when they feel appreciated, are treated well, respected, coached & developed.
The best way to retain good staff & support wellbeing, this should happen in every school! #sltchat #ukedchat

Don't be impressed by money, followers, degrees, and titles. Be impressed by kindness, integrity, humility, and generosity.

When students are put at the *center* of their learning, there’s a “new level of intense curiosity.” 🔬

Just tried making a self closing cube. This is an awesome activity. Can't wait to challenge the 7s and 8s with it. Thanks @EnginePassion for sharing this. I love it! #hawksmakerspace
