Weekly Update, Monday, 26 September 2016

September 26, 2016
Dear colleagues,
We believe that last week’s and weekend’s brain filled workshops left us all thinking about teaching and learning in somewhat new ways. How to ensure that student hippocampus wouldn’t immediately drop things we would like students to learn. And, how to design lessons and assessments that will help students to process the information and processes so that those will eventually find their ways into the long-term memories. Also, a connection to the positive discipline and how to stay, and find a way back to “hope cycle” was made by few workshop participants. All this professional learning demands further opportunities for us educators to process. Hopefully, you will find someone to continue to process your learning as the PD continues with Matt Glover. Although, our heads may be spinning already, these are amazing and unique opportunities for enriching and growing in our profession as we are doing it with the guidance of world known experts. Life is learning!
