I've been saving this book for spring break and finished it on the morning of day 2, with many tears and prayers of thanks for @BethMooreLPM . Thank you for your ministry, your beautiful way with words, and your testimony.

What a great list of learning and discussion protocols from Expeditionary Learning. Pick it up. drive.google.com/file/d/1B2P…

We need to continually push back against this notion of teacher as source of knowledge.
Cognitive growth increases with social interaction. We learn with and from each other.

Love/cringe at the dead end visual of the cul de sac. Inspired and challenged by the question... does our mission drive assessment? @DSpyksma

“How we walk with the broken matters…” powerful words @DrJCarrington Thanks for the inspiration ….@brewerhm #relit2021. “Do our kids give back, and help the broken? That is our measure.” 💕💕
Loving learning with @DrJCarrington at #RELIT2021 We cannot address what we won't acknowledge #bravertogether
Without membership or sense of belonging, engagement in any sort of learning is temporary- Daniel To #bcnwedcon
#bcnwedcon tuning into our students' mental health. What a powerful definition... how can we support students to this?
Sooooo agree. This one really resonated with me!
Final powerful thought: "Students are made in God’s image, not in my image. I don’t own them or control them. I have my responsibility as a teacher, but that doesn’t mean they all turn out the same way and shape because their lives are in God’s hands." @InspiredConv #bcnwedcon

@ChristianSchCan “part of our purpose as Christian schools is asking the question: what is the fundamental goal of my life? what habits and desires are worthy of pursuing? What is the most robust vision of humanity?” Miroslav Volf #cscleaderconf2020

What kind of life is worth striving for? What if that was our driving question for students? @ChristianSchCan @MiroslavVolf #exclusionandembrace

A great idea to do with your students. Not losing some of the changes will make education better in the future.

What educators really care about is task completion. Getting something done. Doing all ten questions. Reading to page 27. And we reward that with grades. We don’t care about formation, depth of learning. The quality of learning along the way. #cdlc2020

Technology makes us more efficient and our teachers have become teachers until 11:00 pm, but at what expense? Have we contributed to the creation of more unstable marriages? #cdlc2020

What if we could assign homework that changed the relational dynamics of our community?
What if we could assign homework where task of parent isn’t to be a police officer, but we assigned homework that actually built relationship between people? -Smith #cdlc2020
