This is really important. How can we include strategies to build executive functioning in our classroom routines and expectations?
Executive function remains one of the most reliable predictors of success in academics—and in life. Here's the research on what it is, and how to cultivate it. ✈️

Participating in EMC2 session at ISTE23!! “We don’t want students to be behaviorally engaged. We want students to be cognitively engaged.” John Meehan #EMC2 #ISTE2023

Guard against letting your inner peace be dependent upon what others do or don’t do for you.
I heard this great idea today: “Tell me what you watch and I’ll tell you who you are.” Our habits define us. What are we feeding our minds and spirits?
Always start with the KUDs- what do I want learners to Know, Understand, and be able to Do?
⚠️ CAUTION: Don’t get distracted by ready-made classroom resources available online. ➡️ Ask yourself these questions before you assign the activity: blendedlearningwithgoogle.co… #edtech

This is so true! Being metacognitive about giving ourselves grace also enables us to better extend it to others.
Replying to @lhags00 @GRRECKY
We have to give ourselves grace since we are first learners (every day) before we are teachers. Sometimes, the weight of our responsibilities makes learning something new feel like an indictment of what we didn’t do (know) yet.

This seems so easy to do but requires a mind-shift in educators. Sometimes the pressure of pacing causes educators to struggle with giving themselves permission to be flexible. #ISTE22 #NotatISTE22
I am often asked, "How do I infuse autonomy and choice into student assignments?" It starts with flexibility 💪🏻 in the product 📦 or process 🚜#udlrising #ISTE2022 #NotatISTE22 #accessibility

ISTE takeaways from this morning: Google Applied Digital Skills- ready to use, self-paced lessons that teach learners how to use tools and do things from creating a certain kind of writing to completing the FAFSA! Thanks Christia Osborn-Preston! #ISTELive22

One of my takeaways was from a session with Dr. Julie Evans. We need to be coaching teachers to integrate computational thinking into the plans they already have. Not ask them to make new plans.

I am attending virtually! I would love to see you too! Wish I could be there! We can connect virtually though.
We need to go beyond empty apologies! 🙌 📷 @sylviaduckworth
