Un nuevo año escolar comienza (para muchos en el norte). Antes de lanzarte a la agenda y los pendientes, haz una pausa: ¿Educar para qué? El propósito es la brújula que da sentido a todo lo demás. #ComenzarConPropósito

A new school year begins (for many in the north). Before diving into schedules & logistics, pause and ask: Why do we educate? Purpose is the compass that gives meaning to everything else. #BeginWithPurpose

Are you raising children like a carpenter—shaping them to fit a mold?
Or like a gardener—nurturing the soil so they can grow in their own way?

Want kids to become powerful learners?
Let them see you try, fail, reflect, and try again.
We don’t need to model perfection.
We need to model learning.

What do you know how to do really well—and how did you learn it? Chances are it involved interest, exposure to expert practice, practice, feedback, reflection, and collaboration. Why not make those conditions standard in our classrooms? #PowerfulLearning #LiberatingLearning

Real educational change doesn’t come from policies—it comes from people. The future of education is not in bureaucratic reforms but in grassroots movements led by students, teachers, and communities. #LeadChange #EducationReform

Want to inspire change? Start with a story. As Marshall Ganz teaches, the most powerful narratives connect our personal experiences, shared values, and urgent action. What story are you ready to tell? #Storytelling #EducationalLeadership www.linkedin.com/posts/marsha...

Failure isn’t what stops us. It’s how we respond to it. Reframing defeat as feedback unlocks growth, momentum, and purpose. You’re not meant to avoid failure—you’re meant to walk with it. Gently, curiously, with purpose. #PurposefulGrowth #FailureIsFeedback #LiberatingLearning

Santiago Rincon-Gallardo @srincongallardo.bsky.social · Jun 2

Goals worth chasing are the ones that stretch us. And when we’re being stretched we will eventually fail. Success doesn't mean avoiding failure. It means learning to grow through it. The secret of success lies in failure (and what we do with it). #FailureIsFuel #PurposeDriven #LeadingChange

Santiago Rincon-Gallardo @srincongallardo.bsky.social · May 26

What if failure isn’t a verdict, but feedback? A call to reflect, realign, and start again—deeper, clearer, stronger. Defeat, if we let it, can reveal what matters most and move us toward it. #FailureAsFeedback #LeadershipWithPurpose #LibeartingLearning #LeadingChange #FailureIntoFuel

True leadership starts with internal coherence: What you believe, what you say, and what you do should match. The greatest change in education begins when we lead by example. #AuthenticLeadership #LeadTheChange

La IA ha superado a los humanos en memorizar hechos y repetir algoritmos. Si formamos a los estudiantes para lo que las máquinas hacen mejor, los convertiremos en máquinas de tercera clase. Recuperemos lo que nos hace humanos: discernimiento, empatía, imaginación, curiosidad. #LiberatingLearning

Santiago Rincon-Gallardo @srincongallardo.bsky.social · Apr 7

AI has already surpassed humans in memorizing facts and executing algorithms. If we keep training students for tasks machines do better, we are turning them into 3rd-class machines. Let's reclaim what makes us human: discernment, empathy, imagination, curiosity. #FutureOfLearning #LiberatingLearning

Leading change in times of uncertainty is about connecting purpose (heart), thinking/learning (head) and action (hands). That’s how we #LiberateLearning. Thank you, #MarshallGanz for teaching me this. #LiberatingLearning #LeadingChange #HeartHeadHands ❤️🧠🤚🏼

Así es, @klaustrujillo.bsky.social. Los maestros más efectivos aprenden con sus estudiantes. Los líderes escolares más efectivos aprenden con sus maestros. Los sistemas escolares más efectivos aprenden con sus escuelas. Buena política educativa ~= Buena pedagogía.

En tiempos de colapso, el propósito crucial de la educación es proteger, nutrir y hacer crecer el espíritu humano. El colapso no es el final, es un llamado a la renovación. Hagamos de nuestras escuelas islas de cordura. Inspirado por #MargaretWheatley. #EdChange #HumanSpirit #RethinkEducation

In times of collapse, education’s greatest purpose is to protect, nurture, and grow the human spirit. Collapse isn’t the end—it’s a call for renewal. Let’s make our schools islands of sanity. Inspired by #MargaretWheatley. #EdChange #HumanSpirit #RethinkEducation

El bienestar estudiantil no sólo consiste en reducir el estrés, sino en transformar la experiencia de aprender. Cuando el aprendizaje es profundo, desafiante y significativo, los estudiantes no sólo aprenden mejor—también se sienten mejor. #LiberarElAprendizaje

Student wellbeing isn’t just about reducing stress—it’s about transforming learning. When students engage deeply, tackle real challenges, and make discoveries, they don’t just learn better—they feel better. #Wellbeing #DeepLearning #LiberatingLearning journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Imagina una educación que ayude a niñas, niños y jóvenes a:
✅ Conocerse a sí mismos
✅ Aprender y pensar por sí mismos
✅ Cuidar de sí mismos, de otros y del planeta
✅ Mejorar el mundo
Esto es lo que debería ser la escuela. Hagámoslo realidad. #LiberarElAprendizaje rlee.ibero.mx/index.php/rl...
