Going for Depth: How Schools and Teachers Can Foster Meaningful Learning Experience
There are no magic solutions in education. But after visiting 30 schools, conducting 300 interviews and sitting in on classes for 750 hours, authors Jal Mehta and Sarah Fine, who wroteIn Search of Deeper Learning: The Quest to Remake the American High School, have much to say about how the best schools and teachers operate. What they noticed, in particular, was how these teachers and the administrations that support them invite students to engage deeply in their educations. Finish Reading..quick read
TECH TIP OF THE WEEK
Words of Wisdom
I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth—and truth rewarded me.
~ Simone de Beauvoir
We can do a reasonably good job keeping ourselves physically safe. We know the precautions to take, the safety protocols to pursue, and places to avoid. Staying emotionally safe is a little different though. How do we apply these same safeguards? It begins with knowing how to value ourselves, what our boundaries are, and what are our needs in both personal and professional relationships. It's important to stay safe physically, but it's just as important to stay safe emotionally. So be true to yourself. Don’t allow yourself to be unnecessarily hurt by relationships that are emotionally damaging, even if it means tearing yourself away from comfortable certainties.
Happy Birthday!
