Everyone needs to explore, investigate, tinker with, and have fun with ideas. Robert Fulghum inspires me work from a more inquisitive center. This is my wish for anyone who hasn't been in Kindergarten for a really long time.
"Just because they’re not sitting at a desk with a book and pen in front of them doesn’t mean they’re not learning. They are learning, you can see it every time they workshop and solve a problem. They’re learning through doing." @NLESDCA

The @NLTeachersAssoc will not stand silently by while our members are attacked for being who they are and for creating safe learning spaces for their students. 2SLGBTQ+ rights are human rights. The mis- and dis-information circulating is grounded in hate. 1/3 @GSDSIC

"Ungrading" means raising an eyebrow at grades as a systemic practice, distinct from simply “not grading.” The word is a present participle, an ongoing process, not a static set of practices.

See the WORLD as curriculum: "... push [the] boundaries of imaginings of who our students can become. Curriculum must not only connect to the world, but must also disrupt hurt, harm, and pain in the world."

THIS. "Perhaps the problem lies in grading itself, since students tend to fixate on their scores and not their learning goals."

When students direct their own learning experiences, their voices are valued and teachers learn alongside them.

Horrific. THOUSANDS of Ukrainian children have been taken by Russia - with many sent to re-education camps to replace their love of Ukraine with "a love of mother Russia"
