I hope this catches on and becomes the norm not just in Early Years, but in schools for children of all ages! ❤️ @anjiplay @williamdoylenyc @pasi_sahlberg #play #education #freetolearn #letthechildrenplay.
Not only has China banned testing children in the 1st years of school, & reigned in edtech, but, more importantly, it has elevated Anji Play to a National model of early education, rejecting adult interference and guidance of play, returning the right of #TruePlay to the child.

“We need to imagine what school could be, and dream together to make that dream a reality.” I believe in #PLAY for all kids, of all ages, to best support healthy and balanced development. It’s time to re-evaluate our mindsets regarding schools and learning.
In case you missed this little personal 7-minute tribute to the life and work of Sir Ken Robinson, here it comes again: "Imagine if. ". If you like it, share it!

I'm so excited to see a school like this close to my home-grounds in Australia! The value of nature in a child's development and well-being cannot be underestimated or over stated! Thank you @catherineOehlman.
Nature School has a focus on outdoor and place-based learning, and is in high demand @pasi_sahlberg @Alex_Harper1 @noec2020 @LoriModde @outdoorsnswact @dr_lloyd and Catherine was just voted Australian Principal of the Year.

#play 'Professor Sahlberg said rather than equipping teachers with particular pedagogic skills, they would benefit more from deeper understanding of how children learn.' I couldn't agree more! Defining "PLAY" in order to design environments conducive for play. @pasi_sahlberg.
More play in our schools? ‘Trust the process and let the magic happen’ @tonialgray @LEGOfoundation @williamdoylenyc via @TheEducatorAU @timdwalk.

Play - the best form of assessment you'll ever experience as an educator. Through play, we have an opportunity to see what the child has likely internalised, and identify what they might be trying to learn.
When we step back, observe, record & reflect on play, we can become aware of the depth of intention & planning that children bring to their world. When we give time, space & materials, we do not need to give instructions or guidance, & we can discover the true child #AnjiPlay

My favourite professional read as an educator! I can testify to the learning and development that happens when we step out of the way and let children play, especially in multi-age environments!!!.
DOCTOR'S ORDERS - LET THE CHILDREN PLAY. Schoolchildren urgently need what many schools and "education reformers" have eliminated.

“. research on multilingual education contexts around the world shows that when we learn information in multiple languages it expands both our linguistic repertoires and content knowledge.” #Translanguaging- move beyond the politics of language to #empower learners to thrive.
All the ways in which I think we ask the wrong questions about langauge use in the language classroom, and the questions I think we should ask instead!Are monolingual models making us ask the wrong questions? Translanguaging in the language classroom.
