I love this note on the natural scaffolding that occurs when thinking about the extension of children's learning. As someone who is aiming to strengthen my individual curriculum and cycle of inquiry this was very helpful to read.

I love this sentiment. I think at times as teachers it is so easy to ask well am I doing enough? Am I including enough? There is always going to be more to the story and this was a fabulous reminder that what you choose to share is enough and executing on a smaller amount of material in a richer way is more beneficial than too much spread too thin.

Perspective is often everything!

How powerful that in a world so busy and bustling our whole job is bettered by just "being". By giving everything else the pause button and taking that one moment for what it is, one we can never get back once it is gone!

This reminds me of that great quote by Maya "Be careful what you teach because you may be disrupting the learning." It is so fascinating that dance we are taught to respect the boundary of the power they hold in their own learning. But at the same time how can we make sure our intervention and direction is the absolute most effective while not disruptive?

Being apart of the year 2020 and more specifically the silicon valley, I love the intertwined perspective of media and our day to day lives, it is so refreshing to hear it referenced as a positive.

There is so much power in the words "construct their own learning." As adults we have the choice to pursue the roads and the callings that appeal to us, why not view children the same way all the time? This sentence is so inspiring and sheds so much light on the importance of agency.
