Still can't get over this fact that @tylercowen shared a while back with @EconTalker: Led Zeppelin's first LP was closer in time to the end of the First World War than it is to today

Just watched this video for about the 5th time... love how it challenges some key ways we think about engagement, self-understanding and improvements in learning.. youtube.com/watch?v=RQaW2bFi… #bced

New meta-analysis on motivation suggests competence is the driving factor in student self-motivation. The data also suggests teachers play a more important role in developing student self-motivation than parents. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

Big moment today looking at intersections of our inquiry strands of antiracism, social media negation, mental health and identity to form a new student spiral: What is identity + How does it relate to sense belonging at school? Start the scan! @kaser_linda @jhalbert8 @SandsSec

‘The View From My Office’ - kindergarten students having a blast under my favourite tree. Nature is not only beautiful, it is fun.

For me, rubrics are just giving someone a destination and criteria that says how they did in getting there. This only works if you know how to get there.
A learning progression gives a destination and tangible steps to get there. It increases access to the learning outcome.

What does Reconciliation mean? Today we used the Freyer Model vocabulary strategy to try to unpack it. Wow. What an afternoon of thoughtful discussion and learning. @IndigEdSD37 @deltasd37 @JarvisSchool #truthandreconciliation

New preprint! "Literacy skills seem to fuel literacy enjoyment, rather than vice versa" doi.org/10.31234/osf.io/3kfg… We tested the direction of causation in 3,690 twins aged 12. See here what we found (1/5):
ALT Influences: A=genetic (i.e., heritability); C=shared-environment (e.g. family & school); E=non-shared environment (e.g. own friends, accident) + measurement error

So...this is the best thing EVER. And guess what the teachers did right after????? Attended a planning meeting to discuss how to make literacy more JOYFUL for their students! That's how they roll @gibsongrizz37 #alwaysmagical #alwayslearning #letsgrow #sd37

6 years ago I started the tradition of having my students write a letter to their future Grade 12 selves.Sts from this class have begun to reach out in anticipation of their letters. It’s so incredible to reconnect with them so many years later and hear about their future plans.
