Cannot wait to start reading these! @timdwalk
My new favorite word: sonder. It's the profound awareness that every person you encounter has experienced a lifetime of hopes, fears, loves, and heartaches that you'll never know. Each moment of sonder is a reminder to appreciate how little we truly grasp about others' lives.
I've reached out to several teachers for interviews in the past couple of days who have said, "Oh yeah, I read The Bell Ringer," which is...not a bad feeling at all 😉 (And hey you can read it, too, subscribe at the link in my bio!)
If you want to predict kids' screen time, look to their parents. Children spend less time on devices when their parents use them less often—and ban them at meals & bedtime. Kids internalize the values they observe. A key to being a good role model is setting healthy boundaries.
OPINION: There are lessons to be learned from Finland, but giving smartphones to young children isn’t one of them - The Hechinger Report hechingerreport.org/opinion-there-…
Emotion regulation is like other skills: it takes practice. After 2 weeks of daily journaling to reframe unpleasant events, depression dropped, life satisfaction rose, and the benefits lasted at least a month. The best way to improve at managing emotions is to do it more often.
@jillbarshay writes, “Recent studies have begun to document salient differences in brain activity when reading on paper versus screens,” including @MaryanneWolf_’s idea that we do “deeper” reading from paper compared to screens. hechingerreport.org/proof-points-n…
Three of my last GEPA cohort (a teacher, a deputy head and a school-group leader) independently and without prompting said it was the best CPD they've ever had. I have 2 spots left for my next cohort, running July-November every other Weds at 9.30 BST: lucycrehan.com/gepa/
What stands out is how much teens are turning to AI for information and to ask questions, not just to do their homework for them: hechingerreport.org/proof-points-t… via @jillbarshay
@JonHaidt A Finn here. Finland invested heavily in the digitalization of schools, because at the turn of the millennium the tech company Nokia was a great success. Politicians wishfully hoped that the digitalization of schools would lead the new generations to success.
New evidence from Finland and Japan’s PISA scores: Smartphones are bad for kids. We need to reverse course as quickly as possible.

Don’t mistake burnout for laziness. When people show a steady decline in effort and output, it’s often a sign of exhaustion. They don't need carrots and sticks to motivate them. They need people to demand less of them and provide more support to them.
Hey managers: to keep your people, let them work from home 2 days a week. Landmark experiment (1600+ ppl, 2yrs): random assignment to hybrid work -Increased satisfaction -Reduced quitting by 33% (especially for women & long commuters) -No costs for performance or promotion rates
@timdwalk @pasi_sahlberg @williamdoylenyc @Crof @jillbarshay @HKorbey @L_willen @JonHaidt @alexstubb Finland took a wrong turn with going digital in classrooms, replacing a play-based childhood with a phone-based childhood. But Tim Walker suggests they may be learning from their mistakes and correcting the problem. Yet one more thing we can learn from the Finns!
What Happened When Finland Gave Kids Smartphones dlvr.it/T8DFww
Whoa. We have seen loads of hand-wringing about Finland’s declines in an anemic outcomes. Yet this is the first time Finland’s shift to digital-heavy learning has been noted as a potential culprit. Must-read: hechingerreport.org/opinion-there-…
Over the past few decades, many U.S. public schools have cut back on recess & hands-on classes like home economics & shop. This Finnish-inspired school bucks this trend, emphasizing outdoor free play, civic education, and life skills. #edchat @amandaripley @DrTonyWagner @Crof

"It’s tempting to look at the country’s slumping PISA performance and blame the Finnish style of education. But this conclusion misses the forest for the trees...Most children in Finland appear to get a phone (typically a smart device) at age 5 or 6." hechingerreport.org/opinion-there-…
I asked a Finnish journalist: "Don't your kids still have free range childhoods?" Yes, he said, but now they walk around outside looking down at their phones. Finland went all in on digital childhood, and their PISA scores began dropping. Japan didn't. hechingerreport.org/opinion-there-…
