Great questions to reflect on at the starting the school year - our classroom expectations too often have a narrow focus.

Enjoyed the Open Space Cafe conversation around getting started (along with the beautiful view) - common threads = find a buddy, check hashtags/AI/for resources and fellow practitioners, be willing to give “it” a go and see what happens (don’t need permission to innovate)… #culturesofthinking
