Love the metaphor if a palette of learning. I agree we need to keep our teaching fresh and engaging for our students. Our teachers also need to keep trying new strategies to stay fresh and engaged. Pick something new and Ready-Fire-Aim

If you had to pick three teacher values, what would your top three be?

What impact on learning does living and embodying these values have on you and your students?

How does living these values impact on the learning moves you take in your classroom?

"I feel like adults need to play more ..." is what Year 6 students at the The British School of Brussels had to say when we interviewed them about play and playful learning throughout primary and beyond.

What do you think?

Do adults need to play more?

If play ran your school or workplace for a week what would be different?

There would be MORE:
🌿 Meetings outside in green spaces
🧠 Opportunities for flexible thinking
🌊 Creative flow.

Want to sign up to that workplace?! Me too!
