Plano ISD’s Post

What the video doesn’t show is me, off-camera, saying, “I got goosebumps!” right after the cut. A huge thank you to the teachers who volunteered to be filmed on the spot and even helped me set up in their classrooms. It was a delight to talk to them! There was so little time to plan and execute, but what really shines in the end product is the authenticity and sincerity of people like Beatriz here. I’ve learned a lot about this kind of production: how to (hopefully) help people feel comfortable in front of the camera, how to set up and rearrange quickly, and what questions to ask to really get to the best bits. For future content, I have an even better idea of how I can improve lighting, background, and capture quality.

Unlocking Balance, Focus, and Fun: Why Giboards are Perfect for Schools! Incorporating movement into Schools is crucial for children's development, both mentally and physically. That's why we're excited to introduce Giboards to schools! Here are the top reasons why Giboards are perfect for students: 🌟 Physical Activity: Giboards help children develop balance, coordination, and core strength—key skills that benefit their overall physical health and well-being. 🎯 Focus and Concentration: Studies show that movement boosts brain activity. A quick session on the Giboard helps students return to their desks more focused and ready to learn. 💡 Creativity and Problem-Solving: By balancing and trying out tricks, students are engaging in critical thinking, experimenting with new movements, and learning perseverance through practice. 🤝 Social Skills: Giboards encourage collaborative play—children can share tips, challenge each other, and enjoy the learning experience together. ✨ Inclusive Fun: Giboard activities cater to various skill levels, making them a great option for all students, regardless of athletic ability. Let's bring more movement, fun, and focus into schools with Giboards! The benefits for young minds and bodies are endless.

📚🌟 Unlocking Potential with Renzulli's Three-Ring Theory of Giftedness, Rosenshines Principles and Blooms 🌟✏️ An interesting and engaging PD session delivered by Steve Arnold from GEMS Education for the Metropole Al Waha staff today. The session was supportive and challenging in our approach to nurturing gifted learners: an in-depth exploration of Renzulli's Three-Ring Theory of Giftedness. Some of the key take always from the session: ✏️Reframe Our Perspective: By embracing Renzulli's holistic approach, we can move beyond narrow definitions of giftedness and celebrate the diverse strengths of all our students. 📘Personalize Learning Experiences: Understanding the Three-Ring Theory allows us to design personalised learning experiences that honor each student's unique intersection of abilities and passions. 📚Foster a Culture of Inclusion: By recognising and nurturing the potential of all learners, we create a more inclusive and supportive learning environment where every student feels valued and challenged. #GiftedEducation #ProfessionalDevelopment #RenzullisTheory #InclusiveLearning #StudentPotential #EducatorEmpowerment

And according to Adam, it's these experiences that truly define us. What's a school memory that still lights you up? Share in the comments! #dreamoneducation

So grateful to be back in Chicago, yet of course I am concerned about the violence impacting our city. Hopelessness is a clear driver of violence, and we've shown through our work hope is teachable. What's surprising, is moments of hopelessness are normal throughout the day, it is how we manage them that matters. And we are never taught. And when we don't manage them well, we turn to violence, addiction, self-harm, or ultimately suicide. What do we expect unless we educate? It is time to take a comprehensive, universal approach to ensuring ALL know what hopelessness is, and are equipped with skills to Shine Hope. Including businesses. As higher hope is key to retention, and the likelihood of a company achieving its goals. Grateful to be doing this work in what I think is the greatest city in the world. And for being able to talk to global business leaders, like those at World Business Chicago, to help lead the way. Keep Shining! #KeepShining #Hope #ShineHope #MentalHealth #ViolencePrevention
