It’s not just students who need Maslow. Teachers need: 1) feel safe / supported 2) emotional connection/ relationships 3) feel respected 4) appreciation 5) value within the team 6) autonomy/ flexibility 7) take time for self and family

We had the privilege of hosting @DebSummerhayes R/Dep Sec at Glenmore Park PS yesterday. Our stage 3 students shared their learning with Deb, & in true teacher style, she used her highly developed questioning technique to dig deeper and challenge their understanding. Thanks, Deb!

So inspired by @82Krisw today as she set up our first interactive shared writing experience for K-6! What was hiding beneath the construction site at our school? Aliens? Buried treasure? Such an engaging task! #nangamay #dreamstriveachieve
