This could help provide clarity about who we are, who we want to be, and who we hope our students will be when they leave us.
The CIS definition of global citizenship is often cited in research and continues to be one of our most visited web pages since its publication in 2009. Yet, in 2020, rising voices on social injustice compelled us to take a closer look.

There’s a place for lessons involving robots in every grade and every subject—not just science and math but English and social studies too.

Very timely for us!
It's not enough to keep our kids calm so they can carry on. It's time to go beyond social & emotional learning & go all-in on well-being. My op ed with @dennisshirley is in the @washingtonpost - https://t.co/8Dm6G6iTPx

Feeling like it may help all of us to go through them each year. It takes commitment and self-awareness to identify our own biases and to remove them from the process of hiring.
@JoelJrLLABAN @de_fine @PerrerasAlysa @nesachat @TweetAlanPhan walked our team through these biases before our recruiting season last school year... so helpful.

The partner feeling is mutual! I had a great day and hope our participants did too!
It was a pleasure to spend a day with such passionate teachers, coaches and leaders as we reimagine #DesignTechnology @SASchina. I’m feeling inspired! Thanks @serzinclioglu for the mention and @ReneeCout for being an incredible partner to design & facilitate with.

Amazing how homework defenders get away with saying “Maybe there's no achievement benefit, but HW teaches self-discipline, responsibility, time mgmt...” In 15+ yrs I've been unable to find a single study that supports this folk wisdom about HW's supposed nonacademic advantages
