I dream a school…
With new ways to begin on day one and the first days of school. What if teachers staged a flashmob of sorts on the first days of school in 2012-13? As an entire profession, united as one, what if teachers put aside syllabi and course explanations, textbook distributions and notebook organization, grading policies and seating charts? What if we began with student voices and with listening to what they hope to learn and become. What if we did something like:
- A Game Changer for First Day of Class, Grant Lichtman
- Show and share interview and introduction – #DoDifferent and The Most Important 21st Century Skill #MCHunter, Jill Gough
- What will you do the first five days of school?, Lisa Nielsen (First Five Days Theme Board pretty fascinating)
Perhaps we could start a movement…
it's about learning

Ooh, educator flashmob–can we dance, too? I’m in.
Of course! I figured all that running you’re doing is flash mob training. You got the choreography?
Hope to embrace a “Ms. Usher” this year. Again, thank you, Bo, and thank you, Grant!
This is EXACTLY what I need today, Bo Adams! THANK YOU…
So glad that this is helpful, Ms. Usher Thomas!
