Taking the Time - Practical Theory - 0 views

  •  
    One of my core beliefs about school these days is that we need to get teachers off of the hamster wheel of the current school-day model. Teachers need time to collaborate, to plan, to innovate. And schools need to find ways to build frequent - I believe weekly - time for everyone to sit in a room and work together to make schools better.

June | Wright'sRoom - 0 views

    A year ago, I wasn't on Twitter. Now my PLN is invaluable. If every other form of PD was taken away from me, I would continue to grow and learn because of the people and resources at my finger tips on Twitter. A year ago, I didn't really blog. Now it's part of who I am. It's how I actively try to make sense of the world. And it has connected me to people who challenge my thinking and help me to be a better teacher.

Online Learning is so last year… | 21st Century Collaborative - 0 views

  •  
    I want, more than anything else, to leave a legacy in education. I want what I spend my time doing to add value to the profession and to support teachers in helping their students self actualize. I also want to be part of lighting a fire that results in a learning revolution.

The Strength in being Soft « Tom Schimmer - 0 views

  •  
    You have to have strength in order to be an effective leader. The question here is not as much about being strong as it is about how you exert that strength. We can either exert our strength through strength or we can do it through being soft.

    But I think we will find that at the end of that battle, we won't really feel too much better, we might have said some things that we might not be able to take back, and we will be in a position where a solution may be even more distant than when we began the fight.

The Master of Living « Jaime Hepp's Blog - 1 views

  •  
    The master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his information and his recreation, his love and his religion.  He hardly knows which is which.  He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing.  To him he's always doing both. ~Jamie Hepp

say it | by @shannoninottawa - 0 views
