Perhaps to solve the great teacher resignation, we should consider the root causes & address those rather than lowering the bar. 1.Raise pay 2.Reduce class size 3.Provide resources (planning time & supplies) There’s not a teacher shortage. Qualified teachers left the position.

Day 1 of 3 #playfulschoolconference with @LEGOfoundation “We don’t always have the answers but we need to try new things and take risks” we need to rethink learning beyond academics. “Play is not frivolous it enhances brain structure&function” we need to react and put joy back”

What does teacher thinking look like? Check out a snap from our Playful Schools Network school session on Visible Thinking. Teachers were brainstorming and planning a thinking routine with play in mind. We cannot wait to see what they come up with. #playfulDMV

During an already difficult work shortage, it's critical that fair compensation becomes a priority. The strong, equitable, high-quality early learning system our littlest Washingtonians deserve can’t exist without a healthy, well-supported workforce. #ChildCareIsEssential

THE WORLD'S BEST PRE-K? Meanwhile, in Helsinki, 4-year-olds have finished their 3rd hour of the day playing and discovering outdoors at -7 C. They do it at -14 C and below. This is how you do ECE. Sure beats worksheets and tablets. @pasi_sahlberg @DianeRavitch @John_Merrow
