@WeberEducation that's awesome. Has this been hard for Ts who are used to the old way? #divergED

WeberEducation - Moderator May 10 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@SeanAThom yep...that's why we went to college! Sadly, few places assume more tests show critical thinking...no practical methods. #divergED

FHS_Anton May 10 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@Mrs_Krapels For sure! PBL's strength is engagement and relationship building! #divergED

SeanAThom May 10 @ 8:11 PM EDT

@KCantrell31 Absolutely! If you don't know your Ss, you don't know much! #divergED

MrDataGuy May 10 @ 8:11 PM EDT

A1: Collaborative reflection of instruction against the standard. Guard for rigor slip. Always using student work as reference. #divergED

nalang1 - Moderator May 10 @ 8:12 PM EDT

Q2:Rigorous tasks require a high cognitive load. How do you motivate students to expend this mental energy? #divergED

Rigor & rock climbing. It takes effort to hang on, but rigor in finding a way to climb up. #divergED #leadupteach https://t.co/2UhEWqUv6Y

Excellent. Are your PBL tasks interdisciplinary? How is that going? #divergED https://t.co/AWgFrMAFB5

FHS_Anton May 10 @ 8:10 PM EDT

We are working hard to integrate PBL into our curriculum. Has been major focus this year. #divergED

FHS_Anton May 10 @ 8:12 PM EDT

@Mrs_Krapels Went completely PBL in a couple courses--S's really enjoy and get a ton out of it. #divergED

EdTechPeck May 10 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2 Finding work and assessment that provides voice and choice intrinsic learning helps build grit #divergED

MrKrapels May 10 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: make assessment as authentic as possible. If student engagement goes up, they're more likely to up their mental energy #divergED

KCantrell31 May 10 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@FHS_Anton PBL seems to be the go to for engaging Ss.! Rewriting curriculum is the tough part but the rest is smooth sailing! #divergED

@WeberEducation Not across dept's yet, but the skills that come w/ it are universal. #divergED

A1: we have been focusing on using more rich tasks, & developing higher order thinking skills #divergED

Mrs_Krapels May 10 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2: That's the question, isn't it?By putting authenticity at the fore& developing a felt need, Ss can expend energy w/o exhaustion #divergED

nalang1 - Moderator May 10 @ 8:13 PM EDT

@JenniferHCox Hi Jennifer, glad you’re here! #divergED

A2: Ss have to see the why & the benefits to expending mental energy. Have to find ways to create & increase intrinsic motivation! #divergED

TeachDB17 May 10 @ 8:13 PM EDT

A2. Give students time. It doesn't all have to be done at once. Respect the process and cognitive load. #diverged

@EdTechPeck That's the key. Ss have to see value in work that they are doing & that there is a point to it. Not hard to see why! #divergED

KHallatWestHigh May 10 @ 8:16 PM EDT

@MrKrapels #divergED 1:1 is coming to our freshman academy this coming year. Our plan is to provide PD just as you've done.

@SeanAThom agreed. Gradual release of responsibility to Ss(especially reluctant ones) is key to bldg confidence in thinking #divergED
