So where does Yes, And come from? It’s actually taken from improv techniques and also used in Link Crew. The basic premise is to continue to move the story forward, providing total support for all of your team members and valuing all of the voices at the table. By using AND instead of BUT, you are signifying a willingness to problem solve and/or grow and add to ideas versus shutting down the conversation.

We invite you to give it a try! Next time you find yourself saying YEAH, BUT why not try on YES, AND instead?

We’re trying out a different format for the podcast this year so we’d love your feedback. We are embracing the mentality of “Try-Fail-Learn” as we podcast and publish our raw, unedited conversations. It’s been a busy start to the year so we are “going for done, not perfect”!

This week, we are discussing the idea of ungrading and getting started with the single point rubric. Ungrading is about “raising a critical eyebrow” at our current systems and practices around grading. We’re hosting the amazing Jesse Stommel on Thursday November 4th at 7pm to start the ungrading conversation in our board. We also talk about what a single point rubric is, why you might use one in your classroom, and how to get started.

We talk about how experiential learning opportunities enrich the learning in schools and open up a world of possibility for students and educators. We highlight the Studio Duo program, run by the Art Gallery of Burlington, a community partner, in connection with the Halton District School Board. The program connects working artists from across Canada to classrooms, in a virtual experiential program. We talk about the limitations and the possibilities that COVID has created for experiential learning, as well as an eye to the future of experiential learning.
