How are we de-centring ourselves as the sole source of knowledge in our classrooms?
@pgliljedahl
Students listen to what we do more than what we say...Do our students feel that they can learn or do they feel like they need to perform? What non-verbal strategies are we confirming our confidence in their abilities? @pgliljedahl
"We need to change the game of school!" So true! @pgliljedahl Let's make it about thinking and learning, not just mimicking! De-front the classroom! Simple changes, amplify learning immediately!
Fantastic Early Literacy learning session with incredible @gedsb educators! Using assessment for learning strategies and tools that inform responsive instruction to develop student reading skills #GEDSB_EarlyLit #learnleadinspire
The work of creating equity is creating access...entry point and high expectations! @pgliljedahl
"We can not expect our students to be present in their learning, if we are always reminding them of the future!" Building Thinking Classrooms~ Let them learn and explore! Love this! Thank you!

There is a humanitarian crisis in Pakistan. 33 million people have been impacted by the catastrophic flooding. Each number is a person. Someone’s mother, father, or child. The Red Cross is standing with those who need it most, but we can’t do it alone.

The purpose of leadership is to listen, inspire, hold space for others to make meaning, model excellent pedagogy, and build a culture of transformation. There is no hammer in this picture. It's about slowing down, really seeing/hearing people, & moving with humility + integrity.
