Curiosity, Creativity, Communication, Collaboration. The BIG 4 of today’s young learners is waiting to be delved deeper, stronger, and more thoroughly than ever. In my 4 newsletters consecutively, starting from this one – you will find suggestions, ideas, and philosophy of why we need it and most importantly how we can, as parents and educators nurture the BIG 4 systematically and by design.

This week it is about Creativity.

Summer break and academic year 2023-24, is upon us. We have to make up for the lost time of pandemic years most definitely this year as we know how much we have struggled to cope – as parents, teachers, and students, on the lost time.

To get young kids to thrive in school, we need to do more than teach them how to read and write — we need to teach them how to manage their emotions, says educator Olympia Della Flora. In this practical talk, she shares creative tactics she used to help struggling, sometimes disruptive students — things like stopping for brain breaks, singing songs and even doing yoga poses — all with her existing budget and resources. “Small changes make huge differences, and it’s possible to start right now … You simply need smarter ways to think about using what you have, where you have it,” she says.

Dear reader,
I have been a research scientist, a journalist, and an educator for over 3 decades. I read and, I write. With this weekly newsletter, I share what I read, learn, and, experience. At the same time, I engage with students, parents, and teams of teachers across K-12 schools, higher education institutions, and ed-tech organizations.
