Feeling uncertain increases stress, and not just for students.

From surprise tests to shifting expectations, unpredictability can overload the brain.

Here’s how to manage it better: https://www.innerdrive.co.uk/blog/uncertainty-and-stress/

'But in rushing to “save” them, we may actually be denying them the very thing that could help them learn: having enough time to think deeply about your question and successfully retrieving the answer.'

The power of pause!

I’m pretty sure every woman leader has had a cry at work. We are human. When our work matters, and we care about it, we feel it.

I'd love to hear your stories of successful collaboration

What happens when we feel we belong?

At High Performance Learning global conference, @profkime.bsky.social explored how belonging, drawing from Bantu African-origin value systems, fuels learning. It’s not optional. It’s essential.

What’s one way you help students feel they belong?

My daughter is taking great pleasure in telling me about the water cycle. I'm having to pretend I'm learning this for the first time, although everything she knows, I already know.

Joys of parenting.
