Mike leads us into a discussion about the importance of connection.

Social connection is how children get through the hard things...Connections build resilience...Children are always looking for connection...All play is social and all learning is social...We're wired to learn from the group so why is assessment still tied to individual achievements...Shout outs to: Vygotsky, Gilligan and Usain Bolt...The most important job of teachers is to be there.
