“Always communicate with empathy because life is always better with empathy.”
@BreneBrown empathy is alive and well in this class!

Wonderful conversations around our Learning Profile attribute data today. The students were excited to see how we could represent who we are in this way.
I was so happy when they thought about how this data might connect to our class values.
#yislearning
Today, students reflected on their strengths & challenges using the Learner Profile attributes.
Tomorrow, we will look at we can learn from looking at the data with the some guiding questions. I’m curious to find out their thoughts and wonderings.

Students exploring what our school mission means to them.
For one student, living means to ‘find the fire in your bones’.
Another student, used to think the mission could only happen at school, and now thinks it can happen anywhere.
Happy teacher!

We often reveal our values through the qualities we admire in others.
Celebrating generosity, curiosity, and integrity shows depth of character.
Being more impressed by fame and fortune or status and appearance might be a sign of shallowness.

So many great sounding books I want to explore here. Maybe starting with Humanocracy, Inclusify, Leading Without Authority, and In Praise of Walking.
How about you? @debgordon123 @lv_white @gitaneee @Fiona12Moss @Sarah_Metz1 @CBeishline @kmmoss @reinhardt1026 – at Bucharest, Romania

This is a wonderful and thoughtful read. It captures and synthesises so many thoughts that have been bubbling in my mind over the past few weeks. – at Bucharest, Romania
This is the piece I’ve been waiting for, from the writer I’ve been waiting to read. As pitch perfect as one would expect from Solnit on this moment.

This is an amazing thread. We can, and should, come out of this tragedy with a clearer sense of how backwards our priorities have been.
Disasters allow us to question what we’ve become used to. A better world is possible.
Finishing week 3 of #distancelearning thinking about how the best way to serve our students lies in how well we serve each other. It reminds me of this Maōri proverb. – at Bucharest, Romania
