BIG presents a vision for the future of Denmark's Givskud Zoo where animals and humans "co-exist", and all the architecture is hidden within the topography. Named Zootopia, the proposal reimagines the 1960s zoo and safari park in central Jutland as a continuous landscape of forests, savannahs and rivers that centre around a sunken courtyard of visitors' facilities. "It is our dream – with Givskud – to create the best possible and freest possible environment for the animals' lives and relationships with each other and visitors," said BIG, the office led by architect Bjarke Ingels.

"The long-term output of any school should be not just proficient students, but enabled learners. An “enabled” learner can grasp macro views, uncover micro details, ask questions, plan for new knowledge and transfer thinking across divergent circumstances. This doesn’t happen by content “knowledge holding,” or even by the fire of enthusiasm, but by setting a tone for learning that suggests possibility, and by creating a culture of can."

One of my favorite videos on growth mindset is Carol Dweck sharing the word yet, specifically where she says that if a student says "I can't do that" she says to tell the student to say "I can't do that yet." To me that is a way to shift the culture of the classroom, where students learn that as time goes on what they are able to do things they could not before. This post explores this culture of "can", sharing ideas on how you might move your classroom to reach this culture. Three areas are discussed. 1. Use the Gradual Release of Responsibility Model This is a model that many of us may already use. The post describes it as "show me, help me, let me." In my school we talk about "I do, we do, you do." 2. Intentionally Use the Individual Student as a Culture-Maker This requires that we find the time as we teach to "honor the contribution of others," specifically our students. Culture does not grow from a top down approach. 3. Diverse — and Authentic — Terms for Success Creating a classroom that is learner centered, where students also have input to help create authentic learning. More information on these concepts are in the post.

Love the ideas here and realize the challenge of the mission. Our kids need to embrace their mistakes as learning opportunities rather than expect immediate mastery and feedback with praise. i am thinking of making a classroom poster ( or posters) with the Word "YET" in giant letters and use that as our mantra.
The most intelligent organizations are overcoming battlegrounds and silos to maximize their return on customer intelligence. They're insisting on the "dog wagging the tail" by instilling customer experience context for all actions and decisions company-wide. They're applying customer intelligence to innovate the full customer experience "bundle". And they're equipping organizational learning by sharing, showing actionable patterns, focusing on what customers are trying to get done, and being proactive in enabling customers to love the company. .

You may teach online or you may teach face-to-face or perhaps you combine the two, but in all cases the learners we work with have a variety of learning styles. Today we are told that each student should receive personalized learning opportunities. This post provides a look at ten types of learners you may find in your classroom (on or offline). By understanding the type of learners you will be able to design more effective lessons (and also personalize them to the best of your ability. Each type of learner is described in more depth under the visualization.

The coaching entrepreneurs I work with align heavily with the "Freedom Seeker" Traits and the "Passionate Creators." They've supported their families, community projects, spouses, adult parents all while building their businesses. They're passionate about changing the world but seek the freedom to schedule and work in a way that supports their own wellness. Conscious entrepreneurs are learning that putting themselves first isn't selfish. It's foundational to living out their mission.
Street art is gradually coming to be accepted as a legitimate and wonderful art form by more and more people, but that doesn't mean that street artists can rest on their laurels – they continue exploring with new ways to exploit public surfaces and cover them in beautiful art.

The terms 'critical' and 'reflection' are sorely misunderstood in education. Being critical is often misinterpreted as being negative. 'Reflection' is also frequently distorted to mean "reflect on what you are doing wrong". Too often the students that we teach give negative feedback when asked to be critical. So to counter act this, educators initiate strategies such as '2 stars and a wish' and SWNI (strengths, weaknesses, new ideas).
These strategies are designed to make reflective practices a more positive experience for students. It teaches them that being critically reflective is not just a negative activity, that it is important to be positive and give feedback to help improve or make something better.

A person can't be 100% productive all day. As much as you want to make the most of every minute, to get stuff done, to hustle, it's just not humanly possible. Concentration is like a muscle: It needs to rest to be able to function, and it shouldn't be overworked. Otherwise it'll simply burn out and take longer to get back into the swing of things.

There has never been a better year to look at the work of Kazimir Malevich, a pioneer of abstract art often seen as the greatest Russian painter of the twentieth century. 'Malevich: Revolutionary of Russian Art', first shown in the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, and now at London’s Tate Modern, is the most comprehensive exhibition of his work ever.
