Great day with the team at Somerville House exploring why conceptual learning matters and how inquiry invites students to actively construct understanding. We can’t make students understand, they must participate. #ConceptsInAction #InquiryInAction #SomervilleHouse

Reflecting on the REAIE Conference: Landscapes of Collaboration with @katherineqi. Grateful to Consuelo Damasi & Elena Maccaferri from Reggio Children for their inspiring provocations. Read our latest post:.

It was a joy to join the @reggioaustralia Conference Landscapes of Collaboration with Katherine Williams from UWCSEA. So many rich provocations & reminders of what matters in education. We're sharing reflections here.

Thought of the day 💭.“In planning for conceptual understanding, assessment is key.” Leveraging Deep Learning.We plan with and because of students, not just for them. Let assessment guide the journey. #ConceptsInAction #AssessmentInAction #LeveragingDeepLearning

Just visited Mosaic Marks Words Material at the @reggioaustralia conference, an inspiring reminder of drawing as thinking made visible. 🎨. It reminds us of the need to protect and elevate children's creativity, their individual perspectives and expressive encounters.

Thrilled that @ali_ezzeddine_ is hosting a book club for Leveraging Deep Learning. This book explores conceptual learning, continuous assessment, and practical tools to support deeper understanding. Join here #AssessmentInAction

RT @joboaler: I absolutely ❤️ the new @newyorktimes features from @stevenstrogatz showing the ways maths is such an important and cool part….

Risky play isn’t reckless , t’s necessary. It helps children build confidence, resilience, and real-world skills. “Exploratory, challenging, and child-initiated… leading to positive learning outcomes.” Play Australia. Let’s create space for growth.

“Assessment should not be one-size-fits-all.”.Susan Bartley, in Leveraging Deep Learning shares this powerful quote. When students show what they understand in diverse ways we support deeper understanding and greater equity. #AssessmentForLearning #UDL #Differentiation

This quote by @cat3y is a powerful reminder that assessment gives us real-time evidence to plan with and for students. It’s how we teach responsively not just deliver a plan. It is not a one size fits all. Planning in response not for students.

How do you promote awe and wonder? . "Awe is perhaps our most overlooked and undervalued emotion. It is what we feel when we encounter something vast, wondrous, or beyond our ordinary frame of reference" Deborah Farmer Kris.

Understanding not just facts must be the focus of education today. In an age where AI retrieves information instantly, we need to teach students to think critically, make connections, and transfer and apply knowledge meaningfully.Facts matter but understanding matters more.

It’s that time in international education, goodbyes, gratitude & new beginnings. Leaving is hard, but in this world it’s rarely goodbye more like, see you somewhere, someday. Wishing everyone moving on the very best! New memories to be made.

Teachers can spend hours writing report cards but with real-time updates, student reflections, and ongoing communication, are they still necessary?. Maybe it’s time to rethink reporting: from static summaries to growth-focused storytelling. What are schools using instead?

RT @Mattglover123: I’m continually puzzled by programs that make encoding a prerequisite for composing. Instead, we should take a parallel….

A great week with the PYP team at Neev Academy!.We explored how planning with students, not for them shifts the focus to thinking, questioning, and deep understanding. When planning is responsive, learning becomes meaningful. #IBPYP #InquiryLearning #conceptsinaction

Looking forward to facilitating a planning process for a Unit of Inquiry with the PYP team Neev Academy .Focus on.Setting the Scene for Inquiry.Assessing the Inquiry.Engaging Learners in the Inquiry.Planning in Response to the Inquiry.#conceptsinaaction #assessmentinaction #PYP
