Hello #RSDchat! Introduce yourselves, what you teach, & what magic power you'd like to have. #ritenourexcellence

halliesmills Nov 16 @ 9:36 PM EST

Hi #RSDchat. Hallie here, 4th grade at Marvin. Magic power? Cleaning house like Mary Poppins.

dr_riina Nov 16 @ 9:37 PM EST

#rsdchat @dr_riina from RHS. Teach ELA 9. I'd like the super power to add hours to my day...

I'm Chantell & I teach a departmentalized 4th #PBL + #STEM room at Iveland. My magic power would be to fly. #RSDchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 16 @ 9:38 PM EST

Good idea! #RSDchat

In reply to @dr_riina

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 16 @ 9:38 PM EST

Then you can come to my house and clean it too! #RSDchat

Starting with Question 2: How do you handle when students make assumptions based on stereotypes? #RSDchat

dr_riina Nov 16 @ 9:43 PM EST

#rsdchat With high schoolers I confront directly. That is an assumption, a stereotype. Why do u think that? etc.

A2: Like @dr_riina I ask why do you think that? Help them determine where they got the idea from in the 1st place. #RSDchat

In reply to @dr_riina

halliesmills Nov 16 @ 9:46 PM EST

A2: Always questioning. Why do you think that? Where did you hear that? Where is your evidence? #rsdchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 16 @ 9:47 PM EST

Similar to in science and writing w/evidence to support a claim! #RSDchat

In reply to @halliesmills

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 16 @ 9:48 PM EST

Ohh, another good idea. Have them empathize. That part is so difficult, but has huge returns when they do. #RSDchat

It all connects to science. ;) #rsdchat

A3: How can you get your students to feel like their feelings are respected? #RSDchat

gilliam_evelyn Nov 16 @ 9:54 PM EST

A: 3 model respect with everyone and make sure it is part of the culture of your room #RSDchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 16 @ 9:55 PM EST

A3: This is my goal, but I don't know if it always happens. Telling them they aren't wrong for whatever feeling they're having. #RSDchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 16 @ 9:56 PM EST

A3: Model and role play w/some groups too. Did that today & things seemed to click more. #RSDchat

Even with assignments! You can feel however you want. You don't have to like it, you just have to do it.#rsdchat

It's a tough line between challenging thinking & them feeling supported for sure. #RSDchat

Agreed! Also if they're excited about an assignment and others are not! #RSDchat

Q4: What are some ways we can support one another during stressful times? #RSDchat

dr_riina Nov 16 @ 10:01 PM EST

A4: The same way we do for kids. Not make assumptions abt why they are stressed or whether they should be. #rsdchat

dr_riina Nov 16 @ 10:04 PM EST

Thanks! It's easy when you just went to a really good two hour equity session and there are only three of us ;) #rsdchat

In reply to @TechieTcher

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 16 @ 10:04 PM EST

A4: Offering something small like running a copy for someone if you're going down there. Helping them remember things due. #RSDchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 16 @ 10:04 PM EST

Oh where was the equity session at?? #RSDchat

A4: Take time to stop and talk to other staff members - even if they aren't on your immediate team. #rsdchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Nov 16 @ 10:06 PM EST

I like to ask specifics to help with because us teachers are awful at asking for help! So used to juggling it all. #RSDchat

What do you do when their moral beliefs go against your assignment? #rsdchat

Ditto. Its the reason I blog even when I desperately don't wanna. Writing down good things forces you to find them. #rsdchat

In reply to @gilliam_evelyn, @dr_riina

@dr_riina contacted the parents & they okayed his beliefs. Everyone accepted the 0. This child refused to hear the other side #rsdchat

I still respected the child. He, his parents and I had good rapport,so we moved on with ease. Relationships and community are key #rsdchat
