Once a Marigold & Dandelion, always a Marigold & Dandelion (my kindergarten class name)! I received a hand stitched gift from a former marigold. (Our school mascot)

Found an old treasure that belonged to my mother. It’s her autograph book from the 1950’s. Lesson here is don’t bother Raymond. #springcleaning

7. Challenge can feel/be practically inefficient and we only have so much time 😉
10. We mistake compliance with engagement… “Just because they are happily doing the task, doesn’t mean they are engaged and learning deeply.” @ronritchhart.bsky.social

#culturesofthinking Leading a Culture of Thinking Summit: Learning occurs at the point of challenge (this plenary from @ronritchhart.bsky.social really sang for me - make sure you join next year’s summit to get the whole story/research/learning because it’s powerful) Why do we avoid challenge?

#culturesofthinking Leading a Culture of Thinking Summit: what are the messages we send to our learners about learning? About thinking? About what learning is and how it happens? Great questions for reflection from #MarkChurch

#culturesofthinking Leading a Culture of Thinking Summit: belonging & agency… students learn best when they feel valued. When we feel a sense of belonging, we have entered a space where we are more likely to take risks & try things out. @ronritchhart.bsky.social

Enjoyed the Open Space Cafe conversation around getting started (along with the beautiful view) - common threads = find a buddy, check hashtags/AI/for resources and fellow practitioners, be willing to give “it” a go and see what happens (don’t need permission to innovate)… #culturesofthinking
