Being helpful isn't about pleasing people. It's about making a unique contribution. If you never say no, people don't respect your time. If you're thoughtful about when you give, they're more selective in their asks. The goal isn't to be needed. It's to add value and be valued.

This is brilliant! We'll say it again and again, the #LearningPit is a GOOD place to be. This is how we gain confidence, collaborate, and become more resilient! @JamesNottinghm @LearningPit_MD

I have used these exact words in my class. Spoiler alert: it totally was!

A great explanation of the #LearningPit - how it came to be, the benefits and impact of @JamesNottinghm's concept 🤩 https://t.co/fUS8HBJIK7

This is what 1 of my students wrote regarding #TheLearningPit “There’s beauty in the struggle” IDK the originator of this quote but that’s what I think when it comes to this work. @JamesNottingham resonated with me because he encouraged his students to question their thinking.

"The school examination becomes an end in itself because it dominates the teacher’s concerns; instead of...stimulat[ing] consciences and minds, he directs all the work of the students toward the artificial result of success on final tests." -Jean Piaget

A great image by @sketchplanator which captures @JamesNottinghm’s #LearningPit perfectly 🤩

A fantastic PD by @JamesNottinghm working with leaders to develop leadership, collaboration and visioning skills for building capacity and achieving a learning culture that impacts learning.  #thisseemseasyletsmakeitmoreinteresting #progress #mentalmodels

One of the world's most foward-thinking teachers who wants tough love in schools has arrived in Toowoomba for a masterclass. James Nottingham's 'Learning Pit' program encourages children to step out of their comfort zone. https://t.co/srqc170vJl @DallyWatkinsC #7NEWS

This visit by @JamesNottinghm has inspired so many teachers to challenge their learners to step outside their comfort zone. Such excitement across the schools. @LearningPit_MD

The higher you are on this model, the more effective you are going to be. 🔥 We need to have a clear sense of where we are going, and where we want to be… And then align our mental models, systems & structures, behaviours etc. to this. @JamesNottinghm @TheLearningPit #LaLC2022

Often we try to work from the bottom up. With the what, or how, rather than the why. This is not the way to achieve alignment and a shared vision… 🤩@JamesNottinghm @TheLearningPit #LaLC2022
