@lars3eb I know in my job the tech skills are easily obtained. It's the interpersonal skills that can cause problems for Ts. #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 17 @ 11:10 PM EST

A1 common sense, there are indeed skills, but without common sense ... #utedchat

Hey! Mikayla from the U of U joining my first #UTedChat

Another couple key skill is being nice & sharing. Too many adults suffer from jerk-itis & it’s hard to overcome. #UTedChat #KinderSkills

MrCampbellRocks Feb 17 @ 11:11 PM EST

A1 I love this list from @ThisIsSethsBlog and his manifesto Stop Stealing Dreams #utedchat https://t.co/quEpghjdNE

mermaidmantha Feb 17 @ 11:11 PM EST

In my experience, patience and perseverance are incredibly important in the work world #utedchat

mrsjgard Feb 17 @ 11:11 PM EST

A1 @lars3eb I agree, soft skills are necessity #utedchat

JennieLafortune Feb 17 @ 11:11 PM EST

A1- innovation (which encompasses critical thinking, problem solving) helps Ss be successful- but also to make it meaningful. #utedchat

u0291728cl Feb 17 @ 11:11 PM EST

@mrsjgard A1: Students need to have social skills, being able to work in a team, problem solving skills, & background knowledge #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:11 PM EST

This is so true in MANY areas. Just think back to the #KindergartenSkills you learned. #UTedChat #BeNice #EdChat https://t.co/eEA2UedTYU

covili - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:10 PM EST

@lars3eb I know in my job the tech skills are easily obtained. It's the interpersonal skills that can cause problems for Ts. #utedchat

davinaeliz Feb 17 @ 11:12 PM EST

@missplott problem solving key! And teaching persistence in problem solving #utedchat

hqcampbell4 Feb 17 @ 11:12 PM EST

A1: A sense of urgency – Ss should be moving quickly, and looking for ways to be assertive, and effective. #utedchat

DaniKSloan Feb 17 @ 11:12 PM EST

A1: Students need to be problem solvers, be able to effectively communicate, and play well with others... er... collaborate. #utedchat

davinaeliz Feb 17 @ 11:13 PM EST

And what about determiniation, persistence, grit!! #utedchat

missmikayla3 Feb 17 @ 11:13 PM EST

A1 definitely collaboration skills! Students see a lot of group projects, but it's definitely a skill that needs to be practiced #UTedChat

johnemett Feb 17 @ 11:13 PM EST

Checking in for #utedchat Finally have this on my calendar for the future. :)

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:13 PM EST

@mrsjgard And they can be difficult to learn without patience and practice. #UTedChat

Great points Davina! #UTedChat https://t.co/CyTC3HLgmn

davinaeliz Feb 17 @ 11:14 PM EST

@covili @lars3eb I know I harp on this but emotional growth, eye contact, self awareness etc

ronaldfisher Feb 17 @ 11:14 PM EST

@lars3eb almost, I'm trying hard, 100% paperless - still had to hand out 1 paper. #utedchat

johnemett Feb 17 @ 11:14 PM EST

A1 Speaking and listening are huge. Clear communication reflects clear thinking and problem solving. #utedchat

MrCampbellRocks Feb 17 @ 11:14 PM EST

I know this a buzz word right now but I love it when students and employees show grit #utedchat

mrsjgard Feb 17 @ 11:15 PM EST

Q2 How can we teach soft skills (prob solving, reliability, etc) in a test driven environment? #utedchat

sassmasterkmb Feb 17 @ 11:15 PM EST

@u0291728cl I like that ur list includes background knowledge. I agree w soft skills, also think a strong academic base is needed #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:15 PM EST

@davinaeliz @lars3eb Learning from and with others is a key part of public education. Employers need team players! #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 17 @ 11:15 PM EST

It's about the relationships! Can the individual interact and communicate #utedchat https://t.co/bdDA8vRk8p

covili - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:10 PM EST

@lars3eb I know in my job the tech skills are easily obtained. It's the interpersonal skills that can cause problems for Ts. #utedchat

#utedchat hi all. Just a quick check in from ASD Stem Fair awards ceremony.

JennieLafortune Feb 17 @ 11:16 PM EST

A1-@davinaeliz yes! Grit and resilience is key to teach- Ss need practice with emotional and mental vocabulary to practice #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:16 PM EST

Welcome to all of the @UUtah students checking in for #UTedChat tonight! Hopefully you find this form of learning helpful & return often!

davinaeliz Feb 17 @ 11:16 PM EST

A2 One word! #PBL haha or is that 3 :) #utedchat

DaniKSloan Feb 17 @ 11:16 PM EST

Side question: Anyone know what standard story mapping fits in to the core? #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:17 PM EST

@u0291728cl @mrsjgard Excellent skills Christal. Do you feel you learned them in your K12 experience? #UTedChat

6millere Feb 17 @ 11:17 PM EST

Erin from Ephraim Middle. Twitter rookie. Here to learn #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:17 PM EST

A2 I think a lot of this comes down to relationships. If I create a community in the classroom it translates everywhere. #utedchat

AthlosUtah Feb 17 @ 11:17 PM EST

Q2: Athlos focuses on teaching #softskills through academic achievement, healthy lifestyle, and life-long fitness education. #UTedChat

DaniKSloan Feb 17 @ 11:17 PM EST

A2: We need to provide opportunities for students to work together, be held responsible, and be creative in our classes. #utedchat

missplott Feb 17 @ 11:18 PM EST

A2: I do a multi-step problem of the day to help develop critical thinking stills with Ss. Group projects help develop reliability #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:18 PM EST

@hqcampbell4 I like that, urgency. Too often Ss wait for the play-by-play b/c they haven’t learned how to be assertive. #UTedChat

AthlosUtah Feb 17 @ 11:18 PM EST

A2: Athlos focuses on teaching #softskills through academic achievement, healthy lifestyle, and life-long fitness education. #UTedChat

MrJFawson Feb 17 @ 11:18 PM EST

@covili Agreed we teach these skills by example and creating an atmosphere where they are exhibited #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:18 PM EST

@6millere Welcome Erin. Great to have you join us in #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 17 @ 11:18 PM EST

A2 one of the only true ways is to let go, find PBL, #geniushour and #teambuilding let Ss experience the soft skills #utedchat

davinaeliz Feb 17 @ 11:18 PM EST

@JennieLafortune I watched a Teacher model out loud her thinking! Was amazing! #utedchat

mrsjgard Feb 17 @ 11:18 PM EST

@DaniKSloan I couldn't agree more. PBL #utedchat

MrCampbellRocks Feb 17 @ 11:18 PM EST

@mrsjgard A2 I think helping kids understand assessment in the "growth mindset" will help with some of those soft skills. #utedchat

hqcampbell4 Feb 17 @ 11:19 PM EST

@ronaldfisher I have loved genius hour! It has opened my Ss eyes! #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 17 @ 11:19 PM EST

@DaniKSloan There are a lot of skills to working together, something we all have to deal with in work place ;) #utedchat

davinaeliz Feb 17 @ 11:19 PM EST

Love it! And every day! It's the classroom environment! #utedchat https://t.co/haguvAn9q1

DaniKSloan Feb 17 @ 11:17 PM EST

A2: We need to provide opportunities for students to work together, be held responsible, and be creative in our classes. #utedchat

sassmasterkmb Feb 17 @ 11:19 PM EST

@davinaeliz Agreed! It seems hard to organize PBL in a way that really develops these skills. Do u have tips? What works for u? #utedchat

missplott Feb 17 @ 11:20 PM EST

ronaldfisher Feb 17 @ 11:20 PM EST

@covili Team players means that Individuals contribute their flavor to make a mash-up, a "Fruit-Salad," a smorgasbord #utedchat

u0291728cl Feb 17 @ 11:20 PM EST

@DaniKSloan I agree! If we do not provide opportunities, how do we expect students to learn the soft skills we teach and model #utedchat

hqcampbell4 Feb 17 @ 11:20 PM EST

@missplott oh MY!!!! #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:20 PM EST

@johnemett Hopefully #UTedChat also gets added to the @ChatSalad list as well. That also helps remind peeps. Also our @RemindHQ is good.

JennieLafortune Feb 17 @ 11:20 PM EST

A2-this is THE question. Model:fairly discuss, write, examine why we test - have Ss find pros and cons #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 17 @ 11:21 PM EST

@covili No one cares how much you know until they know how much you care #utedchat

johnemett Feb 17 @ 11:21 PM EST

A2 #utedchat Teaching soft skills certainly helps kids access tested content. I think this is what the Ts standards mean by cross dis skills

hqcampbell4 Feb 17 @ 11:22 PM EST

@MrJFawson @covili Absolutely! You won't get anywhere without that relationship #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 17 @ 11:22 PM EST

For the record I can't stand the term 'soft skill' makes it seem like you are weak if you exhibit these skills, need a better name #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:22 PM EST

@u0291728cl @DaniKSloan Great points - we need to model the behaviors we expect from students. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:22 PM EST

@MrCampbellRocks Buzz word or not, I think grit is an important trait. #UTedChat

u0291728cl Feb 17 @ 11:22 PM EST

@lars3eb I learned them but not thoroughly enough. I wish I had more opportunities to work more in groups & to problem solve #utedchat

effort2learn Feb 17 @ 11:22 PM EST

A2: We have to help students see the results of their own efforts while inspiring them to see their potential. #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 17 @ 11:23 PM EST

@DaniKSloan try Reading Literature Standard 3 & S 7, also Speaking and Listening Standard 4 (yes a stretch) #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 17 @ 11:23 PM EST

@lars3eb @MrCampbellRocks Grit is grittier than most buzz words. I'm a fan, opposite of term soft skill #utedchat

davinaeliz Feb 17 @ 11:24 PM EST

bethtannerslc Feb 17 @ 11:25 PM EST

A2: My speciality! So much hands on collaborative learning in K! Group work then time to reflect! #utedchat

JennieLafortune Feb 17 @ 11:25 PM EST

A3- there can not be true innovation and creativity without vulnerability. Thank you @BreneBrown #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:27 PM EST

A3 Ts can't spoon feed Ss answers and call it learning. We have to let go and let Ss learn for themselves. Provide a platform. #utedchat

mermaidmantha Feb 17 @ 11:27 PM EST

A3 - Students need wiggle room! If we want them to be innovative, we can't stifle them with rigid parameters. #utedchat

AthlosUtah Feb 17 @ 11:27 PM EST

A3: Athlos teaches Prepared Mind, Healthy Body & Performance Character instilling real-world skills for long-lasting success. #UTedChat

DaniKSloan Feb 17 @ 11:27 PM EST

A3: Provide opportunities to try and experience new things. Students need to see what's possible in order to create and innovate. #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 17 @ 11:27 PM EST

@MrJFawson how about "Essential" and "Pertinent" Skills? #utedchat

@covili such a hard thing to learn as a new teacher, but so true. #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 17 @ 11:27 PM EST

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:28 PM EST

@MrCampbellRocks But Failure gets a bad rap though. If we can help our Ss see it as a trial or beta then it’s not so bad. #UTedChat

MrJFawson Feb 17 @ 11:28 PM EST

@ronaldfisher either one is way better. #utedchat

hqcampbell4 Feb 17 @ 11:28 PM EST

Ss need to be able to take risks. If we can make the classroom a safe place, where failure IS acceptable, they will grow! #utedchat

effort2learn Feb 17 @ 11:28 PM EST

Helping students see beyond tests isn't that difficult if we give them something worth learning. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:28 PM EST

@mrsjgard Let students be able to use their creativity in the projects & assignments they do. Let them explore different options #utedchat

MrCampbellRocks Feb 17 @ 11:31 PM EST

@mrsjgard A3 Have our Ss work go beyond the classroom. It's amazing what happens when Ss know that their work will be 👀 by others. #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 17 @ 11:32 PM EST

A3 Innovation, ... we need to stop building walls around the Ss and their education. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:32 PM EST

@covili I think that’s what I’m missing this year b/c my class is really struggling w/ some key ideas. I need to build it quick! #UTedChat

DaniKSloan Feb 17 @ 11:32 PM EST

@lars3eb @ronaldfisher @johnemett Right? Look at the collaboration, communication, and teamwork happening during #utedchat

mrsjgard Feb 17 @ 11:32 PM EST

@MrJFawson I wish there was a test promoting creativity, innovation and exploration instead of stifling it #utedchat

@covili or a path, sometimes the platform has to be made by the Ss. #utedchat

bethtannerslc Feb 17 @ 11:33 PM EST

@mrsjgard A3: Build classroom community and give them ownership of learning. They start innovating on their own #utedchat

JennieLafortune Feb 17 @ 11:33 PM EST

@MrJFawson so important to redefine the words and connotations of TEST and FAIL #utedchat

@mrsjgard Isn't that what SAGE does? #utedchat j/k it's everything else that doesn't get graded right?

MrJFawson Feb 17 @ 11:37 PM EST

@mrsjgard A4 nice question, we need to redefine it for education, too much worry about getting things right, innovation is messy #utedchat

AthlosUtah Feb 17 @ 11:37 PM EST

A4: In addition to building knowledge & skills, focus on performance character traits such as courage, curiosity & initiative. #UTedChat

hqcampbell4 Feb 17 @ 11:37 PM EST

A4: Ss need to see the teacher fail at times too. They need to see how we learn from that failure #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:37 PM EST

A4 Gamification embraces failure as a chance to grow. Love seeing Ss struggle to achieve in games - need to translate to school. #utedchat

A4 I think there is so much focus on what was wrong, with not enough focus on what was right and making positive changes #UTedChat

MrJFawson Feb 17 @ 11:39 PM EST

@JennieLafortune A4 Ss focus on 'is this on the test' or 'what do you want me to know' the nature of grades can stifle innovation #utedchat

sassmasterkmb Feb 17 @ 11:39 PM EST

A4: Model, like @covili said. We can model being wrong, learning from mistakes, taking good risks #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 17 @ 11:39 PM EST

@lars3eb @covili Ahh, you just missed Taco Tuesday ... do you need a Master Builder? Try Bob-The-Builder #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:39 PM EST

A3 I also demonstrate mistakes & how to deal with them on a regular basis. Some are planned, but most are not! #UTedChat

mermaidmantha Feb 17 @ 11:39 PM EST

So true! If my teacher can survive failing, so can I. #utedchat https://t.co/d8oImHmJ5I

hqcampbell4 Feb 17 @ 11:37 PM EST

A4: Ss need to see the teacher fail at times too. They need to see how we learn from that failure #utedchat

The growth and learning come most often when overcoming a failure. #utedchat

DaniKSloan Feb 17 @ 11:40 PM EST

A4: First we need to allow Ss to fail & not hand out answers. We need to teach them resilience and give them chances to try again. #utedchat

u0291728cl Feb 17 @ 11:40 PM EST

@mrsjgard A4 we need to teach students the growth mindset. That our brains can handle failure, that it is okay to fail. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:40 PM EST

@mermaidmantha And they also need to actually wiggle a bit too! Why not try some @GoNoodle to get them moving? #UTedChat

JennieLafortune Feb 17 @ 11:41 PM EST

So how do we get these life truths across in the pressure of college, GPA, ACT, and "what do u want to be when u grow up" messages #utedchat

johnemett Feb 17 @ 11:41 PM EST

A4 Kids love videos. Dojo has a cute one on mistakes. https://t.co/lBlmP1wBMW #utedchat :)

DaniKSloan Feb 17 @ 11:41 PM EST

A4: Too often I feel like Ts have to move on too quickly to allow Ss to try, try again. We rush our Ss straight to "success." #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 17 @ 11:41 PM EST

@DaniKSloan great point, this is where the helicopter parent really hurts their kid by not letting them make mistakes #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:41 PM EST

Until we stop the spoon feeding, we will always have Ss who don’t know how to learn for themselves! #UTedChat https://t.co/SSmSuPOC26

covili - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:27 PM EST

A3 Ts can't spoon feed Ss answers and call it learning. We have to let go and let Ss learn for themselves. Provide a platform. #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 17 @ 11:42 PM EST

@mrsjgard @MrJFawson its' called "patience!" Step back & allow them time to be able to create and innovate #utedchat https://t.co/70T6b6ISEY

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:42 PM EST

@covili That is so true Jared! We need to stop the #SpoonFeeding in schools for sure! #UTedChat

JennieLafortune Feb 17 @ 11:42 PM EST

@MrJFawsonyes, on the test focus misses the mark. This is where Ts & classroom culture has power to change that #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:43 PM EST

@AthlosUtah Sounds like you have some great ideas. Hopefully you can keep it up! #UTedChat

sassmasterkmb Feb 17 @ 11:43 PM EST

@mermaidmantha Yes. And no more averages for grades. Teaches Ss that their initial failure is something they'll recover from. #utedchat

mrsjgard Feb 17 @ 11:43 PM EST

Q5 Where are we failing/succeeding in helping students transition to college or the workforce? #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 17 @ 11:43 PM EST

@lars3eb We teach Ss to not think by answering our own questions. Gotta let them think, awkward pauses are great for learning #utedchat

hqcampbell4 Feb 17 @ 11:43 PM EST

@lars3eb Can we tell that to the parents? #utedchat

mermaidmantha Feb 17 @ 11:43 PM EST

A4 - We need to make it clear that it's okay to learn slowly and fail. Other Ss can be harsh to kids who have a hard time. #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 17 @ 11:43 PM EST

A4 Model for the Ss, trip, fall down, have Technology blow up, not work, and move on ... #utedchat

effort2learn Feb 17 @ 11:43 PM EST

@sassmasterkmb @covili not just modeling, but helping them identify appropriate strategies and seeing how we met the challenge #utedchat

Kertmann1 Feb 17 @ 11:43 PM EST

A4: Also not referring to mistakes as failures, because of the stigma associated with it! It's not a failure unless you give up. #UTedChat

MaryTouchet Feb 17 @ 11:43 PM EST

A4 After a day of teaching, if I feel like a Drivers’ Ed Teacher with Ss at the wheel, I feel accomplished. Let them drive! #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:44 PM EST

@MrJFawson Wait time is one of the HARDEST things to remember, even after years of teaching. But it MUST happen! Ss need to think. #UTedChat

davinaeliz Feb 17 @ 11:44 PM EST

@effort2learn @sassmasterkmb @covili And Modeling the thinking process #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 17 @ 11:44 PM EST

@lars3eb @AllChats Ahh, I play the juggler sometimes #utedchat but I like being the support cast! I push for the best out of the performance

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:44 PM EST

@hqcampbell4 I do. It’s not easy to say, but it’s worth it. Especially as they are preparing to head to Int or Middle school. #UTedChat

Kertmann1 Feb 17 @ 11:45 PM EST

A5: I think the most important thing in easing that transition is having students that are self-reliant. #UTedChat

missmikayla3 Feb 17 @ 11:45 PM EST

A5 not enough critical thinking before college. I find myself always wanting to ask Ts what answer or direction they want #UTedChat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:45 PM EST

@ronaldfisher So you prefer to be the one with the whip getting us to “perform” better? Got it! #UTedChat

Johnlit360 Feb 17 @ 11:45 PM EST

A3:writing is a gr8 way 2 move frm failure 2 success. I like 2 show what I usually see frm students and the show what they can do! #utedchat

@MaryTouchet This is *such* a great comparison, Mary. Love it. #utedchat

MrJFawson Feb 17 @ 11:46 PM EST

@lars3eb We set the tone in our class Ss know whether they will have to answer or if we will. We train them either way #utedchat

sassmasterkmb Feb 17 @ 11:46 PM EST

@DaniKSloan Lots of pressure on Ts to move on, get through standards. How can Ts deal w that & take time for trying/growing? #utedchat

If every new teacher were to understand this 1 idea, we could change schools for the better! #UTedChat #EdChat https://t.co/ZrR93uthr7

hqcampbell4 Feb 17 @ 11:28 PM EST

Ss need to be able to take risks. If we can make the classroom a safe place, where failure IS acceptable, they will grow! #utedchat

covili - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:47 PM EST

@MrJFawson @DaniKSloan This is the best side conversation in #utedchat tonight!

MrJFawson Feb 17 @ 11:47 PM EST

@DaniKSloan @MaryTouchet Agreed, and yes there are a few Ss that I wouldn't want to ride with, but they still need experience #utedchat

JennieLafortune Feb 17 @ 11:47 PM EST

A5 we need to make Ss aware of all kind of post-secondary education/pathways and start financial ed early #utedchat

effort2learn Feb 17 @ 11:47 PM EST

@davinaeliz @sassmasterkmb @covili So true too often we talk about/model what to do, not how to think #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 17 @ 11:47 PM EST

@lars3eb why soon, start tomorrow! I know easier said than done, trying to find a way to do MS. #utedchat

Kertmann1 Feb 17 @ 11:47 PM EST

@Johnlit360 That's awesome! Mixing modeling as well as expectations for your students! #utedchat

ronaldfisher Feb 17 @ 11:48 PM EST

@mermaidmantha what if we not worry about the grade and embrace their learning? #utedchat

effort2learn Feb 17 @ 11:48 PM EST

A5 I think we need to do better job of making school relevant to their lives NOW, not sometime off in the future. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:48 PM EST

A perfect reason why the current TESTING theme in education is wrong. We need Ss who can be pushed! #UTedChat https://t.co/re90e1QJGK

hqcampbell4 Feb 17 @ 11:47 PM EST

@lars3eb Yes, we are afraid to have students give the "wrong" answer, because we think it will reflect poorly on us

MrJFawson Feb 17 @ 11:49 PM EST

@ronaldfisher @mermaidmantha Prediction: If we did that they would learn what they need to even better #utedchat

Johnlit360 Feb 17 @ 11:49 PM EST

@Kertmann1 do it all the time. I have two columns. Draft 1 and draft 2. I want students to notice the differences between the two! #UTedChat

JennieLafortune Feb 17 @ 11:49 PM EST

@effort2learn yes! More teaching how to think, not just what to do. #utedchat

lars3eb - Moderator Feb 17 @ 11:49 PM EST

@u0291728cl @mrsjgard It takes more time for this to happen than just require cookie-cutter projects, but it’s worth it! #UTedChat

u0291728cl Feb 17 @ 11:49 PM EST

A5 we focus so much on testing that we forget the real world is not all about standardized tests it is much more than that #utedchat

So true. #utedchat https://t.co/FFecXxvEk6

DaniKSloan Feb 17 @ 11:49 PM EST

@sassmasterkmb PBL covers multiple standards & soft skills at the same time. Ts decide what's most important for Ss to get from their class.

abmoreno1981 Feb 17 @ 11:55 PM EST

@missplott Perseverance is a great quality...I would argue Resilience is an even stronger one! Thoughts on these two qualities? #utedchat
