A4 #ksedchat What ss make. If it answers EQ and shows strong thinking, will work w it! Classroom layout negotiable too.

SJNeill13 Aug 7 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4: Authentic, real-world, connected learning is a must in my classroom. Whatever we do, students must see a purpose. #ksedchat

mrvesco - Moderator Aug 7 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4: On projects, I have flexible due dates. Some students need more time to create quality work, and that is ok! #ksedchat

HendershotDavid Aug 7 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4: I always consider the approach to the topic as negotiable. If they want to show me they learned with song, a game, art, etc #KSedchat

JillWebs Aug 7 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4: I try to be petty flexible when it comes to needs of Ss...w/out sacrificing high expectations. #KSedchat

mdodge81 Aug 7 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4: Curriculum & instruction are definitely negotiable. Provide what Ss need, in the exact way they need it. #OneSizeDoesNotFitAll #KSedchat

misshaysteach Aug 7 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4 I can be flexible with my schedule, writing utensils, and recess rules #ksedchat

thewarsnak Aug 7 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4: Pt. 2: Fostering a love for reading: student voice, choice is my goal. No more book reports, logs, or work that kills reading. #ksedchat

DrKellyFromKS Aug 7 @ 9:43 PM EDT

A4 I think we value the differences in Ss & Ts & adapt content, and delivery according to their individual and specific needs #ksedchat

AmandaBuethe - Moderator Aug 7 @ 9:43 PM EDT

I have to really make an effort to be flexible with schedules! #ksedchat

nkrahn Aug 7 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A4 - Also schedule. Shakeups happen. I never let it bother me. Plus it opens up what we are doing on a moments notice.

JasonKohls Aug 7 @ 9:43 PM EDT

Q4 I have to echo this one. Some disc, activites just have to keep going. Some plans bomb. Ss take things and run. That is fine. #ksedchat

kylemcclure Aug 7 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A4: any and all lesson plans? 😳 #ksedchat

pmccarthy722 Aug 7 @ 9:43 PM EDT

It is so important to give students flexibility when you can. I agree due dates and late homework are negotiable. #ksedchat

In reply to @mhenderson621

heather_newkirk Aug 7 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A4: Late work. My policy could be called flexible at best, but mostly highly inconsistent and individualized. #stillfiguringitout #ksedchat

DrKellyFromKS Aug 7 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A4. Working with districts on KESA we must conduct a needs assessment & be flexible with their strategic SIP based on their needs. #ksedchat

BroCstart Aug 7 @ 9:45 PM EDT

Agreed. If they want to run with it, then they're engaged. Mission accomplished. And bombs... Discuss what went wrong #ksedchat

In reply to @JasonKohls

MrsSkyDavis Aug 7 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A4: Some days it's not the curriculum that's gets taught it's just meeting basic needs, food, shelter, rest, TLC #ksedchat

frizzlerichard Aug 7 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A4: "lecture"-- some Ss questions seen as off topic- I see it as a different and exciting learning opportunity! Answer their ?s ! #ksedchat

aboone_angie Aug 7 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A4: pacing of lessons, kiddos may need more time. #KSedchat

melodiebeth Aug 7 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A4: flexible w/ differentiating for Ss; flexible taking my work home (too many distractions at school) #KSedchat

BroCstart Aug 7 @ 9:48 PM EDT

Right! It's like breaking the 4th wall of teaching when ss get to analyze the teaching. #ksedchat

If a student offers a real alternative to an assignment/project/test, and if it meets the objectives given, I'll hear it it out. #ksedchat
