🎓✨ The Final Countdown: Dissertation Edition ✨🎓 As I come closer to the finish line of my dissertation on Third Culture Kids and how we navigate through different life stages, I can't help but look back at the journey that got me here. It’s been a rollercoaster ride, complete with highs of finally cracking that one research problem and lows of realising that my best ideas come to me at 3 AM (classic night owl antics!). I’ve lived off of energy drinks more than I’m proud to admit and discovered that anywhere that is quiet enough for me to study can indeed become a second home. I've also discovered the true meaning of patience—waiting for feedback from professors felt longer than it actually was! Let’s not forget the many emotions that we go through—one minute you're on top of the world, having written what you believe is a groundbreaking sentence, and the next, you're questioning your entire academic career over a single feedback comment 😂. As a Third Culture Kid myself, writing this dissertation has been like holding up a mirror to my own life. It’s a deep dive into the world of answering "Where are you from?" in two sentences or less, and the quest for belonging in a constantly changing landscape. It’s funny how life imitates art (or in this case, academic research), especially when you’re trying to find scholarly references for your own life story! As this chapter (pun intended 😉) of my life comes to a close, I’m reminded of the resilience, determination, and sheer stubbornness it took to get here. To my fellow students and soon-to-be graduates, we're nearly there! Take a moment to appreciate just how far you’ve come🥂. Before we know it, it'll all be over. #dissertation #undergraduate #3rdyearstudent #graduation #thirdculturekid

🪴Short Learnings: It will make you rethink everything! 1️⃣ Throughout my school life, I met lots of different students. Some were really good at schoolwork, some were okay, and some found it hard. That's what we were always told - there are three types of students: the best ones, the average ones, and the struggling ones. 2️⃣ But one day, in a chemistry class when I was in 12th grade, my teacher said something that made me rethink everything. He said, "There are only two types of students: those who study and those who don't." 3️⃣ It was like a lightbulb moment for me. I realized he was right. It didn't matter if you were the best or the worst in class. What mattered was whether you put effort into studying or not. 4️⃣ Since then, whenever I faced challenges with my studies, whether it was during exams or just regular classwork, I remembered those words. And every time, I chose to be the kind of student who studies. 5️⃣ This simple idea changed the way I looked at school. It wasn't just about getting good grades anymore. It was about putting in the effort to learn and grow, no matter what level you're at. 📍Summary Now, I see education as a journey of discovery. Every challenge is a chance to learn something new. And even though I've finished high school, I still carry that lesson with me: there are only two types of students, those who study, and those who don't. And being the kind of student who studies opens up a world of possibilities. 🕊️ Thank you, if you reached here and don't forget to appreciate yourself if learn something today 👋 #thoughtoftheday #thoughtleadership #storytelling #studentlife #readingcommunity #articlewriting #articles #quoteoftheday

My heart sinks when I see how polarizing topics in education have become, as well as the tendency for people to have “all or nothing” thinking. I’ve seen an increasing amount of activities pitted against each other as if doing one means we can’t ALSO do the other: 👉Standardized testing vs. real-world observations/stakeholder interviews 👉Year-round school vs. traditional summer break 👉Critical thinking skills vs. foundational skills 👉Play vs. academics during non-school time (after school or over the summer) 👉Soft skills vs. technical skills What if we stopped thinking about all of these things as opposing viewpoints, and instead tried to integrate them together? What if we stopped saying, “Should I do this or that?”, and instead started asking “How can I find a way to do this AND that”? I invited my colleague David Schipper to episode 162 of the De Facto Leaders podcast to ponder some of these questions. Specifically, I wanted to tackle the “summer slide” debate. This topic is near and dear to me because I was a “summer slider”. In this interview David and I talked about how we can better answer these questions, starting with a discussion of the summer slide David Schipper is the director of Strategic Learning Clinic, a position he has held since 2013. David obtained a B.A. in English Literature from Concordia University in 1998 as well as a B.Ed. in Secondary Education (English and History) from McGill University in 2002. David founded 2Torial Educational Centre in 2007. In this conversation, we discuss: ✅Is the summer slide real? Who is it impacting the most? ✅This isn’t just about summer: It’s about what we’re prioritizing in school. ✅The case of too many accommodations: What happens in the college years when we don’t build foundational academic skills before students graduate high school ✅The layering of academic skills with executive functioning: Real life examples of how it looks when teenagers are planful with their time and when they aren’t. ✅Tutoring: Yes, it’s needed; but what does good tutoring look like?

In this latest episode of Karen Dudek-Brannan’s podcast, I appear to discuss a range of important education-related topics. Let me now what you think!
