I believe in the commingling of the arts and science as the two greatest expressions of human creativity. -Stephen Jay Gould #arts #science

Always state the opinions upon which you base your facts.

#teachers who begin planning with the question, “What will students do with this information?” are more likely to create meaningful lessons than those who start with “What do they need to know?” #teaching #teachertips #teachered

Information and cognition exists in the environment. There is no need to keep it all in your brain. #learning #education

“I know, but...” is a cue to listen if you are a #leader. #LeadershipDevelopment #leadership

Not everyone teaches the way I do? Really? #education #teachers #schools #echat

#data is boring. #information is generally uninteresting. Give me #students & #teachers who value #knowledge and #wisdom and we will be OK

#students need to slow down to #learn but so many factors push acceleration

Without organizing structures, #theories we call them, #facts have no meaning.
