    Follow up question for #leadupchat - how are we doing this the other 11 months of the year?
  • PrincipalSmart Feb 2 @ 9:37 AM EST
    I think you would see students and teacher working together for common learning goals. They would be helping each other and building on each other strengths. #leadupchat

      Ok here is a Q for you... In what ways does a strong classroom culture reflect high expectations for student learning? What would we see? #LeadUpChat

  • SBclassroom Feb 2 @ 9:39 AM EST
    If we had higher expectations for students, we would provide a lot more time for getting messy with thinking in the classroom. So much focus is on input and output...but unless we practice the thinking, we limit what are students can do. #leadupchat

  • DouglasReeves Feb 2 @ 9:39 AM EST
    Always happy to help bloggers start. The key is to write because you have something to say - not just to get content out there. Consider writing just 5 titles and, as you are ready, post those. #leadupchat https://t.co/9td2zVw02X

    It would be a family atmosphere where each student values each other. Not only would the teacher have high expectations, but the students would expect it from each other, as well. #leadupchat

  • latoyadixon5 Feb 2 @ 9:39 AM EST
    A1. When classrooms are managed for learning, the management techniques and practices go beyond traditional behavioral expectations. Teachers help students understand what actions and reactions are necessary for academic learning...#LeadUpChat

    In reply to @PrincipalSmart
  • inspire0818 Feb 2 @ 9:40 AM EST
    You'd see student voice, constructive feedback, reflection by Ss and T and goal-setting by Ss. Ss understand their next steps and can tell you what they're doing/learning #LeadUpChat

    A strong culture would allow for risks in learning. Students would know it is ok to take risks and make mistakes and not worry about how they would be perceived by others. #LeadUpChat

    I spent a lot of time looking at the classes that were offered across programs and asked to talk to current students! Wanted something relevant that reflected changes in EDU. Landed on a program that they were willing to personalize to fit my needs. #leadupchat

    Because it gives me an opportunity to gain new perspective, to look at things through a different lens. #leadupchat

  • DouglasReeves Feb 2 @ 9:43 AM EST
    What a very thoughtful question! I have an iconoclastic answer. EVERYBODY talks about leadership, but the plain truth its that we also need skills in management - people, projects, and tasks. A good program would teach those also. #leadupchat https://t.co/9td2zVw02X

    My "why" is because we owe it to our students to constantly improve our practices. We can only do this by stepping out of our classrooms and schools and allowing our ideas to collide with others (just read Culture Code!). #leadupchat

    Yes! A difficult shift for some Ts (& parents) to understand. Classes w/ the most work are not the most rigorous. Rigor is pushing students to think, to question, & to revise their thinking--this takes time. Moving from task to task or piling on work prevents this. #leadupchat

    Must look at it from the student experience angle. Work to define the student experience. How do we meet these standards as a team of teachers? Where is there overlap? How does that allow us to use time differently? Are there opportunities where we can team teach? #leadupchat
