Major love and respect to the Polish MP’s who co-ordinated their outfits to create a rainbow flag at the swearing in for their homophobic president Andrzej Duda 🏳️‍🌈

Inspired by an article in a newspaper and a sculpture made of used straws in a mall, G2 students wrote persuasive letters to local coffee shops. Look what you started girls... #bsitu @ishcmcib #STP #CognitaWay blog.vonwong.com/strawpocaly…

Mathematical aha moment. You don’t need numbers to share but you do need numbers to divide. Thanks 2B #ishcmcib

As the year winds down and we look toward 2019, I’m asking you to make a commitment: find something you want to change in your community and take the first step toward changing it. If you need some inspiration, take a look at some of the young leaders who inspired me this year.

I THINK they're done. My take on the Enhanced @ibpyp AtLs is that they are more sophisticated than their predecessors. There are a lot of connection and overlap within them and definitely more reflective of agency. PDF versions available in bit.ly/orenjibutacreations #SkillsFirst

I love this session: not what we assess in maths but WHY. The only one left in assessment of learning alone is reporting. Can we change that so these also guide Ss future learning? #IBEN #ibpyp #mathchat – at Al Rayyan, Qatar
