The Human Story – our origins and early history – is a woven tapestry of cultures, narratives, people, and events. If that's the case, why should middle schoolers study it in siloed units and chapters? 🤔 Our new Middle School World History units use an inquiry-based conceptual framework to connect and deepen students’ knowledge. 👏 Students can better connect the past to their lives by focusing on essential questions and concepts. ❤️ Learn more about our new curriculum. ➡️ https://bit.ly/49nJ2DP

Prepared for tonight's class on culturally relevant pedagogy, I'll explore the theme of developing students' reading stamina through relevant, relatable, and rigorous teaching and learning methods. Using the backdrop of the Black Fives era, I aim to explore the following question: How can we address curriculum standards that resonate with the lives and experiences of urban youth while also nurturing their reading stamina?

The euphoric concept that everyone is special and everyone is a winner, even though no commitment and effort is made by the so called "special", creates delusive sense of victory. This leads to a dopamine addiction which everyone must get every now and then to feel good. This habit after some time, becomes a routine requirement amd sense of entitlement to get a quick appreciation without genuine effort. In the long term, this creates an army of narcissistic citizens who are used to a 'certificate of attendance'. In the long term such "baseless winning" prevents the need for grit and consistent efforts to achieve anything significant and meaningful since the mental reward system that push us to perform consistently towards a certain goal would have already received its dopamine. This is dangerous and one of the biggest inhibitor in the way of realising one's TRUE POTENTIAL. Agree?
Watched this with my children. This is an excellent high school graduation speech from David McCullough Jr., son of famous historian and author David McCullough. He argues against the "everyone is special" nonsense narrative that seems to have overtaken high schools and little league fields across the country. Here are a few of my favorite lines: "If everyone is special, then no one is. If everyone receives a trophy, trophies become meaningless....We've come to love accolades more than genuine achievement. We've come to see them as the point, and we're happy to compromise standards or ignore reality if we suspect that's the quickest way, or the only way, to have something to put on the mantlepiece...Climb the mountain not to plant your flag, but to embrace the challenge, enjoy the air, and behold the view. Climb it so you can see the world, not so the world can see you." https://lnkd.in/eQRHNW_C

A real pleasure and privilege to be invited back to Bolton School to deliver the 51st Tillotson Lecture. Great to see the school really flourishing, meet the pupils and share ‘5 Lessons to my Younger Self’: 1) Have faith in your own ability: When you hit a challenging moment in your life or career, or you feel completely out of your comfort zone, have the courage to back yourself. 2) Don’t be afraid to lead: And the only way to Lead is from the front and by example. 3) It’s never too late to alter course: You own the narrative of your life. 4) Find a Mentor: And when you find that mentor do everything to repay the faith they have shown in you, and the results can be transformative 5) You cannot have success without failure: Failure is an inevitable part of the climb to the peak… and it’s how we deal with setbacks that dictates whether they are terminal or temporary, and defines us as a person Link to Speech: https://lnkd.in/diKpTcGT #boltonschool #boltonschoolalumni

I wish things had gone differently for me in school! 🎓 I wish I had been chosen as a class representative. 🎓 I wish I had been selected for the morning assembly's word, thought, news, or pledge. 🎓 I wish I had been trusted with the class debate competition. 🎓 I wish I had been encouraged to active participation. 🎓 I wish I had been assured that I could do well too. 🎓 I wish I had not been overshadowed by those who could speak well. 🎓 I wish I had been allowed to learn from my mistakes. 🎓 I wish I had been encouraged to pursue my interests and passions. 🎓 I wish I had been inspired to dream big and aim high. 🎓 I wish I had been taught the value of kindness, empathy, and understanding. 🎓 I wish I had been celebrated for who I am. 🎓 I wish I had been prepared not just for exams, but for life beyond school. There is much more I wish for, but it isn't too late to fix things for sure!!! An endeavour to express the unspoken desires of students. #StudentWishes #SchoolMemories #Education
