A4 Be intentional about the opportunities and planning you do for joy and engagement in your classroom and school. #buildhopeedu

A2 If our students don’t experience joy when they are around our classrooms and schools, we miss out on an opportunity for connection and extended learning in a trusted environment. #buildhopeedu

A1 I include students’ interests and hot topics to support and promote engagement and interest. Games, clips, actions. Their responses show joy! #buildhopeedu

A4 Leadership, in conjunction with the school community, can take on new ideas, cultivate kindness, model & support innovation through acts of kindness, & curate HOPE in the actions and reactions that involve the school and community. Kindness is a whole school effort. #buildhopeedu

A3 Innovation can break the mold of just sharing kindness one way. Innovation can absolutely be intertwined in kindness. The sky is the limit on how we can share kindness. #buildhopeedu

As someone who developed curriculum for LEGO robotics in particular and taught them K-12, I have lots of good experience using robotics K-12 and not waiting until high school or later. Younger students can do so much especially with LEGO robotics as the leverage their LEGO experience. #EduSkyChat

A2 As AI evolves, schools and teachers can teach students how to use this tool while continuing to learn. Teachers can also support students creating their authentic works while using tools at times. #Eduskychat

A1 As careers and the workforce evolves, students need the ability to adapt, pivot, speak up, ask questions, and problem solve to support their longevity and work ethic. #Eduskychat

Why are brain breaks so effective? In a recent @edutopia.org article, I unpack the research and share 6 tips to keep students focused during a lesson. #EduSky #EdResearch www.edutopia.org/article/6-re...

“Once cognitive capacity has been reached, the ability to maintain attention and process new information is hindered,” researchers explain in a 2021 study. To counter this, teachers should design and deliver lectures “in smaller, more manageable chunks,” which has the “benefit of reducing cognitive load and facilitating sustained attention.”
