Dave - a great article! Students need voice and choice in their learning that allows them to be creative. Today was launch day for our new project of outdoor learning for all students K-8 once per week. All teachers went outside with all student for an hour. We took out "loose parts" of wood, tires, pipes, tarps, bricks, balls, and all sorts of things without any idea of how they will use them. Somewhat like this: https://timbernook.com
Thanks for sharing this, Stephen! I love this idea so much--and what a great example of making this kind of space for creativity. I hope this endeavor bears fruit!

An inspiring read to start my teaching day. Thank you, Dr. Dave!
P.S. Does starting my Business Writing class by playing human dominoes count for fun and wondering?
Thanks, Kim! And I would say a hearty “YES!” to playing human dominoes! 😃
