during the 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 personalized learning summit 2019, one of our keynote speakers, principal baruti kafele, discussed the achievement gap, the attitude gap, and the role all educators play in addressing both. i was familiar with the achievement gap, but i was unfamiliar with the attitude gap. principal kafele defines it as, “the gap between those students who have the will to strive for excellence, and those who don’t.” we all know that it’s nearly impossible to change the will of our students, i had plenty of teachers try and fail when i was a student. but the notion that our students need to develop socially and emotionally in order to reach their full potential resonated with me. and not just in the context of when we have them in our buildings – ideally, we want our students to take the academic and non-academic lessons they learn while with us, and apply them to life and the outside world. as we prepare students for their futures, it’s imperative that we prioritize their social-emotional development. we can equip them with a lens to view the diversity the world has to offer as a way to build bridges to solve the problems we couldn’t. at 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 , we believe that student reflection & ownership provides a framework for supporting the social-emotional development of students and ultimately, creates an environment that empowers them to become happy, successful, agents of change.

it's been almost exactly 2 weeks since the 5th annual personalized learning summit came to an end, and our team still misses the biggest and best pl summit we've had so far. we were left inspired and engaged – and we know many of you are, too – to continue the hard but meaningful work to reshape education in schools and districts.

for many, being an innovator conjures a vision of being the one out in front, alone, and it can certainly feel that way at times. all at once it seems like a big adventure and a scary proposition with uncertain rewards, but known risks. you may have a lot of questions to ask about your path but worry no one else is on it. it feels like something you kind of want to tell everybody about, but also don’t want anybody to know. the teacher who is trying something new may purposely close his door and not talk about it in case it fails. the school leader who is working on new strategies may keep quiet about them in a meeting with others, in case her peers try to dissuade her. the superintendent who wants to make her district radically different may feel like she is the only one trying to do this big thing or if she isn’t the only one, not know how to find others who think like her. so at a time when the support and ideas of others would help the most, we often are the least likely to receive them.

it is hard to make something better each year and yet, somehow, as i reflect on the 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 personalized learning summit 2018, it feels like we have done it. it’s five days since the summit ended and i am still energized by the energy and passion of every one of the 750 people who attended. i am still excited about the ideas i heard and looking forward to talking more to the people i met. i am still amazed that we pulled it off. 750 people is a lot of people for a conference that four years ago had less than 150!

epic lip sync battle. i almost feel like i could both start and end this post with just those 4 words and a short description of what it was like to be in a room full of educators singing and dancing their hearts out (some in costume!) on thursday night of 瑞士vs喀麦隆亚盘赔率 ' 3rd annual personalized learning summit. but then i’d miss out on all of the other amazing moments, like anthony kim interviewing kaya henderson while wearing a sparkly gold jacket, or ray owens leading the entire conference in singing row row row your boat as a wave, or brad montague making many people (not just me, although i was among those wiping my eyes) both cry and laugh. the truth is the whole pl summit was epic.
