One of my biggest challenges & biggest learnings was how much the “right” text mattered for the learner's engagement, efforts, stamina, success, & stamina. To find that right text, I had to get to know the learner--his strengths, his interests—not his level or label. @rrcna_org

"By not running from the books that pain us, we can allow them to transform us. I ran from antiracist books most of my life. But now I can’t stop running after them — scrutinizing myself and my society, and in the process changing both." @DrIbram

“Good is good enough.” Put first things first
-Be kind to yourself & others
-Meaningfully connect w/ families
-Make work relevant & equitable
-Give students choice
-Create a culture of celebration

Tests, skills, requirements are not highest priority.

Joanne Quinn knocked it our of the park today with a keynote on DL to 100% of the school principals in Newfoundland and Labrador. Schools are already moving down the pathway to success, and chomping at the bit to do more. Watch them go!

Small study: just 2 months of being made to keep a reading log lowers young kids' interest in reading - vs. what it was before & also vs. that of kids who could choose whether to keep a log: is.gd/l3l5Tc (How much more damage from years of mandatory logs, one wonders?)

You ask: "How can we improve the quality of the curriculum?" or "Are we assigning the right amount of homework?" or "Should we praise students' effort rather than their ability?" And I reply: "Wait, you skipped a step." My new commentary in Ed. Week: is.gd/fdW0WD

As summer comes to a close, I begin a new journey at a new school. I’m excited and I’m nervous! As always @BreneBrown is grounding me and reminding me of what really matters! The value of everyone and their story. The power of feeling heard and valued @NLESDCA
