"Whether workshops, panels, keynotes, or classes there is one mistake presenters should never make. "

"The reality of this moment is that every one of our students can create and share and connect in ways that didn't exist even a decade ago. I can't imagine what it's going to be like a decade from now. But I know this: if our students look at the work we're asking them to do today and say "It doesn't matter," we're missing a huge opportunity to help them become the learners they now need to be."

"Graham's review of the research doesn't resolve the age-old debate of whether students learn writing best naturally -  just by doing it - or through explicit writing instruction.

"Two years ago, WKCD produced an 11-minute video for middle and high school students that includes clips of student talking about critical social and emotional skills: managing stress, self-control, motivation, persistence, curiosity, resourcefulness, and self-confidence. The video is intended to prompt discussion among students, with many places to pause and reflect. We are posting it again because we believe it merits a fresh look. We created a short booklet, too. Together, the video and handbook underscore two BIG points: Doing well in school isn't only about academic "smarts." It's also about habits, like self-control and motivation. These habits-or strengths-help us succeed in school and life. Like muscles, both academic smarts and good habits can be built through practice."
