I love it when I find a book that changes the way I think about the whole world. This is one of them. Brief and powerful, I savored every word. @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social

This is a great, engaging read about a fascinating man who did so much during his short life. I really enjoy this author’s works (Dan Jones) and his ability to write both the history and the modern take on figures from centuries ago. Time for some beach reads!

“One of my favorite things to ask kids is ‘Are you stuck? Or are you thinking?’ I do this because it gives them agency in whether or not I support them. Sometimes, kids just need extra time to think—and if we intervene too soon, we diminish their agency.” —Paul Emerich France, Educator

Have you tried asking this before? 💬

My students give me feedback when I give out report cards. I ask 3 questions: What is one thing we do in class that helps you learn? What is one that is getting in the way of learning? What should we add to improve learning? – Laurie Walsh, Teacher

Have you ever tried this strategy? How did it go?

“Our team recently decided to spend the first ten minutes of meetings sending positive emails home. 10/10 recommend. It’s always on my list, but I don’t get around to it as much as I’d like. Building it into our structured team time was a great solution and means so much to the students.” —Emma Pass, Teacher

What’s something *you* 10/10 recommend to other teachers? 🤔 💯
