email time management

  • check email only at set points during the day.
  • reserve time to read and respond to email after a long period of focused work, or at the time of day when your energy and creativity are at their lowest (this means that you can do higher value work at other times).
  • if the email will take less than two minutes to read and reply to, then take care of it right now, even if it's not a high priority.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • For emails that will take longer than two minutes to read or respond to, schedule time on your calendar, or add this as an action on your To-Do List , to do later. Most email programs allow you to highlight, flag, or star messages that need a response, so utilize this handy feature whenever you can.
  • Gmail, allow you to establish "Rules" that sort email into a particular folder as soon as it comes in.
  • If you regularly receive email such as newsletters, blogs and article feeds, you could re-route these to another email address, or use rules, so that they're instantly delivered to a particular folder.
  • For instance, if certain team members regularly send you long, drawn-out emails, let them know. Tell them gently but firmly that because of the demand on your time, you'd appreciate emails no longer than a paragraph or two. Anything longer than that should warrant a phone call. Alternatively, they could drop by your office for a discussion.

  • Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.
  • In psychology, there are currently two common approaches to empathy: shared emotional response and perspective taking.
  • Shared emotional response, or affective empathy, occurs when an individual shares another person’s emotions.
  • ...8 more annotations...
  • Perspective taking, also known as cognitive empathy, occurs when a person is able to imagine herself in the situation of another.
  • Teachers can be role models who, by example, show students the power of empathy in relationships.
  • Ask students to break into small groups and discuss how important it is to understand that many people disagree with us simply because they have a different point of view. Debrief the student comments.
  • In the classroom, literature can be used to help students see a situation from different perspectives.
  • We designed the HEAR strategy to help students recognize and block out that noise as they devote their attention to listening to one another. The HEAR strategy consists of these steps: Halt: Stop whatever else you are doing, end your internal dialogue on other thoughts, and free your mind to give the speaker your attention. Engage: Focus on the speaker
  • Anticipate: By looking forward to what the speaker has to say, you are acknowledging that you will likely learn something new and interesting,
  • Replay: Think about what the speaker is saying. Analyze and paraphrase it in your mind or in discussion with the speaker and other classmates.
  • Be aware of your feelings and thoughts about your ability to understand and share in the feelings of others. With metacognitive awareness, we can all become more effective at taking another’s perspective throughout our lives.

Teaching Why Facts Still Matter | Edutopia - 0 views

  • When politicians and thought leaders can’t or won’t agree on a basic set of facts, how can we motivate students for the noble pursuit of truth and help them see why it still matters?
  • An unavoidable challenge arises when students realize that no matter how many facts support a certain conclusion, denial and dissent remain.
  • “You have to trust [that] the best information, the truth, will always prevail,” he said, though “that’s tough when you face a crowd of people screaming at you on Twitter in probably not the nicest way.”
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • history tends to prove his assertion right.
  • “I think we are losing the graces of dialogue and respect, and the ability of at least listening to one another a little bit,” he said, reminding me that truth affects people differently. It would be hard to dispute that coal contributes to global warming, for example, but it’s also true that efforts to stop its production place jobs in jeopardy.
  • discuss the truth and its ramifications from multiple angles
  • students should read broadly from individuals across the political spectrum. “Then, it’s important that they have a chance to test those opinions, and their ability to express them in discussions—both with their peers and with knowledgeable others,”

  • Urban Thinkscape, is designed to re-imagine the Promise Zone by increasing caregiver-child engagement through playful learning activities installed in public spaces.
  • bring children's museum-quality learning activities right into the streets where people wait for the bus or hang out after school.
  • prioritize raising "happy, healthy, thinking, caring, and social children who become collaborative, creative, competent, and responsible citizens tomorrow." Only from our own determination will our children learn perseverance; only from our innovation will our children learn creativity; and only through our prioritizing education — inside the school walls and out — will our children learn to do so as well.

  • In terms of test scores, the U.S. has certainly improved, but so have other countries. So the gap between U.S. students and East Asian students remain as large as 20 years ago
  • As test scores went up, students’ confidence and attitude toward math came down.
  • But the U.S. still has more students reporting confidence in math and valuing math than East Asian students.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • It seems clear that after tremendous efforts to catch up to the high performing education systems in test scores, the U.S. has not succeeded. Two questions arise. First, can the U.S. ever catch up? Second, is it really necessary to catch up? My answer to both questions are no.
  • . If it is true that whatever policies and practices that resulted in higher test scores also make students less confident and less interested in math, are these policies and practices really educationally sound? Don’t we want more people have confidence in math and value math?
  • Test scores simply do not reflect what our children need to live in the future, let alone what they need to defend and improve a democratic society. Test scores are simply the indicator of one’s ability in taking the test. We should never read too much into it and attempt to draw conclusions that fuels actions that could affect the future of millions of children and the future of our society.
  • education is both deeply rooted in and an integral part of culture, hence they mutually enhance and perpetuate
  • Different cultures impose different values and expectations on education. Different cultures also support and suppress different educational practices. Unless one is ready and able to redefine one’s culture and society, copying isolated educational policies rarely works.
