Love and logic model
The document discusses the Love and Logic parenting model developed by Jim Fay and Foster Cline. They identified three main parenting styles: 1) Helicopter parents who hover over their children and make decisions for them, which is seen as detrimental. 2) Drill sergeant parents who demand obedience through threats and punishment, hurting a child's self-esteem. 3) Consultant parents who guide children through natural consequences and praising good behavior, allowing them to make choices and become competent decision makers. The Love and Logic approach focuses on developing positive relationships through skills like empathy, setting limits, and guiding children to solve their own problems. It is used in over 2,500 schools to create a welcoming environment for all.
Love and logic
The document summarizes key points from a Love and Logic training presented by Betsy Geddes. It discusses empowering students to become problem-solvers who take responsibility through logical consequences rather than punishment. Students are looking for connections with teachers, and teachers should model positive behaviors. The workshop provided new ideas on empowering students and using empathy and choices to resolve situations.
Your inner critic
Your "inner critic."
You most likely know this voice, even though you may never have identified it as an "inner critic." The first step is to identify that voice and identify the times when you hear it. These are situations where you are brought back to a fixed rather than a growth mindset.
To do this, you simply need to practice awareness. Start by identifying the voice when you hear it. Next, try to remember what event preceded those negative thoughts.
It's a bit like trying to identify what is causing a stomach ache.
You have to go back and try to remember what you ate just before.
If you're not sure you've identified your inner critic yet, try looking for cues. For example, look for times when you find that you're doubting yourself, saying something like, "Can I really do this?" Or be aware of when you're focusing on failure rather than success; for example, where you're worrying about what will happen if you fail at something.
A good place to look for your fixed mindset voice is any time you're trying something new or challenging. These are the most common situations where this negative voice arises. For more on mindset go to http://jgtips.com/youtube to watch Mindset Monday.

Visible learning what's it all about
This document discusses John Hattie's concept of "Know Thy Impact" and how teachers can maximize their impact on student learning. It suggests that teachers should ensure students know the learning intentions, what success will look like, and strategies they can use to be successful. When teachers make the learning goals clear and provide appropriate challenges and feedback, students are better able to drive their own learning. The document promotes the use of Understanding by Design framework and lists resources on Visible Learning and Hattie's research on instructional strategies that significantly improve student achievement.

It's All Elementary: Elementary Literacy Strategies in the Secondary Classroom
We want students to be literate; to have strong content knowledge so they can respond to the demands of the secondary classroom and beyond. However, some students come to high school lacking the skills needed to comprehend and critique the content material. This is frustrating, not only for the students, but also for secondary teachers, content specialists who may not have experience with teaching literacy skills. This workshop focuses on ways to incorporate elementary strategies into the secondary classroom without watering down the content. Emphasis will be on building vocabulary and comprehension, using children’s books to draw connections, and finding ways to make every student an active participant in the learning

Starting the Conversation on Feedback
Teachers want to encourage students in their learning but are often unsure of how to do this in a way that actually creates change. Too much feedback (the paper covered in red ink) overwhelms, and too little feedback (Great job!) gives no real information. What does the research say about quality feedback, how feedback can focus on different needs, and how to use feedback as formative assessment?
How we define, identify, and service gt students
The document discusses various definitions of giftedness, including IQ scores above 130, achievement two grade levels above age, and prodigious accomplishments. It also defines giftedness as asynchronous development where advanced cognitive abilities and intensity combine to create experiences qualitatively different than typical. Identification of gifted students involves standardized tests, IQ testing, nominations, rating scales, and student work/portfolios. Services for gifted students should provide a systematic set of instructional activities beyond a regular program to fully develop student capabilities.
Six degrees of separation
This document summarizes a presentation on preparing students for an uncertain future. It discusses engaging students through connecting with experts via Skype, using real-world problems in lessons, and developing skills like collaboration, communication and a growth mindset. Examples are given of a lesson where students interviewed locals in the Middle East to inform a business decision. The presentation concludes by encouraging educators to ask for expert help despite doubts and think creatively about connections.
Horizon no to gum
The document provides several reasons why chewing gum should not be allowed in schools. Gum can get stuck in places like sinks, carpets, shoes and hair, causing distractions and making janitors' jobs more difficult. Additionally, gum may pose health risks such as becoming stuck in intestines or containing ingredients toxic to dogs. It also costs Americans significant money each year that could be spent on other items. For these reasons, the document concludes that gum is usually not allowed in schools to avoid distractions and check individual school policies on gum chewing.
Raising Gifted Children
This document provides guidance and advice for parenting gifted children. It begins with a quote about the importance of developing gifted children emotionally and socially as well as intellectually. It then discusses common challenges of parenting gifted kids, such as operating on a different timeline, processing information differently, reacting differently socially, and being easily bored or frustrated. Advice is given for understanding gifted kids' behaviors and needs. The document emphasizes accepting gifted kids unconditionally and exposing them to learning opportunities without overloading them. It concludes by differentiating advice for parenting gifted boys versus girls and providing final words of encouragement.
Creative Potential and the Gifted Child
Creativity can be difficult to define and identify, especially in children. It involves imagining new possibilities and making original connections. While creativity is important for success in today's world, many factors such as an overemphasis on products and "right answers", as well as too much structured activity and screen time, may be causing a decline in creative thinking. Nurturing creativity requires allowing children to explore freely without judgment, ask questions, spend time engaged in open-ended play and art, and value their unique ideas and perspectives.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
