SPPS_Richardson Jan 24 @ 8:07 PM EST

Oh and Panthers will win 3-0. #mnlead

betsygomez03 Jan 24 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1: Being systematic, yet differentiated to meet the needs of spec populations of kids. Finding the balance #mnlead

BethHumbert Jan 24 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1) Reduction of compliance. Giving students flex periods during the day to choose which teacher they need to work with. #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:07 PM EST

A1 When I think few years...Going from whole group to small group learning. It's a positive change. More personalized. #mnlead

A1 Healthy disruption of ‘vintage’ strategies leading to growing pains. Significant increase in Ss w/serious mental health concerns. #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:09 PM EST

@clmaxa The mental health situation for our students is definitely something I've noticed. We need more supports for sure. #mnlead

SupAnger Jan 24 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1) teaching students instead of teaching curriculum-such a monumental change #mnlead

JonHeeren Jan 24 @ 8:10 PM EST

A1) huge shift in student choice and use of time. Shifting from teachers dominating everything to students having freedom. #mnlead

@mahillmann The idea "healthy" disruption,keeps the learning going while bringing positive change.Less of the "in the good old days" #mnlead

@bretdom Indeed. Our sup @sandylewan hosted legislators recently to raise awareness and begin looking for systemic solutions #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:11 PM EST

@SupAnger Always keeping our students at the center of the conversation. Sometimes we lose our focus. #mnlead

jenlegatt Jan 24 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: Since I still consider myself new, it's hard to reflect on change in the district. #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:13 PM EST

OK, so question 2 is an extension of Q1. Let's talk about the impact these changes had/have. #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1.1 The ability for educators from across the world to collaborate via @twitter & the energy of regional EdCamps! #mnlead

jenhegna Jan 24 @ 8:13 PM EST

@chris_bussmann @jenhegna Thats right! You guys are campus right? #mnlead

chris_bussmann Jan 24 @ 8:13 PM EST

@mahillmann And when patience meets the crossroad of "perpetual naah", then what? :) #mnlead

chris_bussmann Jan 24 @ 8:14 PM EST

@jenhegna Yup! #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:14 PM EST

@mahillmann And we don't have time to leave people behind if they are going to work w/ our kids but also, refusal is not an option. #mnlead

BethHumbert Jan 24 @ 8:14 PM EST

A2) I have more trust in students. What appears as chaos is actually students making the right choices. When they don't, coach 'em! #mnlead

@jenhegna Once mindset shift happens around grading, Ts more open to instructional shifts. #mnlead

PrincipalFrench Jan 24 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2) Impact is paying attention to what students need and how to provide professional development for staff members. #mnlead

AmandaFaubs Jan 24 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2: Restructuring lessons, classroom. Student Centered & Driven. Meeting them at their individual needs #MNLead

JennyHuling Jan 24 @ 8:15 PM EST

The impact of this work is that Ss play a role in their own learning as well as making a contribution to the learning of others. #mnlead

ACook_FACS Jan 24 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2. Pretty simple.....SBG = knowing exactly what Ss have learned! #mnlead

PrincipalFrench Jan 24 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2) Changing mindsets is also an impact. #mnlead

JennyHuling Jan 24 @ 8:16 PM EST

This brings a sense of purpose and ownership at a level we have not seen before. #mnlead

BethHumbert Jan 24 @ 8:16 PM EST

@ACook_FACS How have the students done with understanding the standards based grading? #mnlead

JonHeeren Jan 24 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2) Ss take on the responsibility of using their time wisely. My classroom looks like workstations instead of other things. #mnlead

ACook_FACS Jan 24 @ 8:16 PM EST

A1. Another big change is our roll out of @POWERofICU! #mnlead

jenhegna Jan 24 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2) Personally - My visibity has increaed which certainly helps with my relationships with T's. https://t.co/4Is0Q0HPIU #mnlead

JennReichel Jan 24 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2. Fewer resources pushes teachers to lean on colleague expertise and find ways to innovate. #mnlead

A2. @POWERofICU has led to more student learning and more positive relationships with all students! #mnlead

betsygomez03 Jan 24 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2: Continue to think outside of the box, high level of collaboration, growth mindset, seek outside supports #mnlead

bretdom - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2 One big change, small group gives more personalized learning for our students. Less sit'n'git sage on the stage learning. #mnlead

KarinHogen Jan 24 @ 8:17 PM EST

Karin joining late from White Bear. #mnlead

TPreisler Jan 24 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2) impact has been increased engagement in courses that provide choice & PBL. Focus moving to learning rather than teaching. #mnlead

rrv_mary Jan 24 @ 8:18 PM EST

@jenhegna Yes - this is so important with all change. As leaders we need to be visible for those quick brainstorming & feedback! #mnlead

mahillmann - Moderator Jan 24 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 Ss benefit from greater access to information, positive intervention strategies, more choices in demonstrating learning. #mnlead

Q3 Looking at the classroom, what role do students play in optimizing the learning environment? #mnlead

A3: Students are the center! By creating a classroom of discovery, options are endless for discussion, learning options, etc. #mnlead

BethHumbert Jan 24 @ 8:24 PM EST

A3) The students ARE the learning environment. I have developed the teachers as "coach" philosophy. I am there if they need me! #mnlead

JennReichel Jan 24 @ 8:24 PM EST

@jenhegna Now more space to design personally meaningful goals and empower T leadership in the direction of resources needed. #mnlead

betsygomez03 Jan 24 @ 8:24 PM EST

A3: There's also more buy in and learning is concretized when students are able to have a say in what/how they're learning #mnlead

travislape Jan 24 @ 8:24 PM EST

A3: Allow the Ss to define the space. Empty the room our and put only things back that will enhance their classroom. #mnlead

PrincipalFrench Jan 24 @ 8:25 PM EST

A3) Students need choice and a voice. Teacher creates the conditions for students to engage and help direct their learning. #mnlead

jenhegna Jan 24 @ 8:25 PM EST

A3) When given the choice and voice - the learning enviroment becomes personalized based on their needs/interests. #mnlead

A3 Ts must find place for S 'voice and choice' in learning process. Helps put them at center. #mnlead

A3 Ss are responsible for their own learning. Our job as adults is to ensure a positive environment conducive to success exists. #mnlead

@jenhegna she has several Ts that ask her to memorize facts, etc, when she she knows that's a thing of the past in many cases. #mnlead
