This National Principals Month, we’re reminded of the immense impact that strong school leadership brings to our communities. As Nicole Moore, Principal of Indian Mills School, so aptly puts it: "Strong principal leadership is more important now than ever because of the unique and challenging times we face. A strong principal can serve as a stabilizing force, ensuring that the school remains focused on its core mission: providing a safe, nurturing, and high-quality learning environment for all students." Let’s honor the leaders who keep our schools grounded and guide them through today’s complexities. Thank you, principals, for your unwavering dedication. #ThankAPrincipal NationalPrincipalsMonth #StrongLeadership #SafeSchools #EducationLeadership

Have you ever heard someone say they’re a kinesthetic or auditory learner? That’s this zombie at work. While the theory that students have specific learning styles has long been debunked, it still haunts many classrooms and lecture halls. It’s true that we have individual preferences for learning activities, but our brains are not wired differently to learn better from one style or another. Let’s debunk these common learning zombies so we can recognize them for what they are when they appear. Check out these zombies let me know if any of these theories keep creeping up on you. https://lnkd.in/e2B8NEFe #ZombieLearningTheories #DebunkingMyths #EducationMyths ASCD ISTE

It’s never too early to start talking about digital citizenship with students. These lessons need to start as early as kindergarten so students can start to build these skills before they have access to devices and online sites in school. We need to commit to establishing expectations for meaningful and civil online behaviors that will allow our children to not only be their best selves online, but bring out the best in others as well. Effective digital citizens are those who know how to engage respectfully with other members of the virtual world and use technology to improve their digital and physical communities. It’s not reasonable to expect that our children will be able to translate the norms we teach them about their behavior in the physical world to the very different context of the digital world, if they’ve never had the chance to practice there. If we want our kids to be tolerant and kind in virtual spaces, we have to teach and model tolerance and kindness in those virtual spaces. We have to have open discussions and give them examples of what effective digital behavior looks like in our digital third places. We cannot afford to be haphazard in our approach to teaching digital citizenship. Along with the recent increase in connectivity in our homes and schools, we have been handed a unique opportunity to examine our digital culture. Our conversation needs to be broader than online safety and include a focus on positive attributes that our kids can emulate and practice and, in so doing, improve our communities and build healthy virtual relationships. #Digital4Good #DigitalCitizenship #DigitalCitizenshipWeek #DigCitWeek ISTE ASCD
