So often I have seen and experienced bullying in the workplace.

Here are 3 ways to protect yourself from peer marginalisation.

Agency is not something to give, rather it is something to be honoured.

All students have agency. They have agency in their lives, in their decisions, and in their identity.

Agency in learning is simply aligning experiences inside of school with those outside of school.…

5 seeds to plant on the first day of school:

1. Agency: voice & choice.

2. Curiosity: lessons that spark awe.

3. Equity: all can succeed.

4. Wellness: calm, confident & joyous spaces.

5. Competency development: HOW we learn matters.

Intentional starts create inspiring ends.

Can't wait for this.

This is exciting news!

#InquiryMindset Questions Edition is currently in editing and I cannot wait to share it with you all!

My fourth publication helps teachers harness, sort and organize, and leverage student generated questions to help shape and guide learning.

Stay tuned…

The innovative and dynamic way that this event is committed to bringing educators together (both near and far) is going to be something really special. I can’t wait for it all!

I’m facilitating the Virtual Experience for the Igniting Inquiry Conference June 27th-29th. Experience multiple cameras, audio interfaces, personal attention from the presenters, and intentional colllaboration with in-person participants.

What if schools valued the exploration of questions more than attaining answers?

What if systems were designed for curious entry points rather than standardized outcomes?

What if education centred around relevance and wonder, rather than percentages and grades?

As a classroom…

'What are the values that we want to prioritize and model to our children?' , 'What do we actually want to spend time doing?' and embracing 'slowliness'...
Some great strategies were shared in Campfire.
Blessed to belong to a group of thoughtful educators #LearningPioneers

Highlight of the week!

'Time is not the constraint; time is the beautiful gift we have in our practice.'
