    A1 - Edufrustration? The prevalence of edumyths in PD and in the classroom. Myths = learning styles, the learning pyramid, left/right brain stuff, etc. https://t.co/6zkGq5cZxo #sunchat

    #sunchat Agreed! Life is about balance and those "other" classes help bring focus and value in a daily instructional lifecycle.

    My biggest #edufrustration at the moment is that so many Ps won't let their kids learn from their mistakes. It's an epidemic in my school #sunchat
  • tiffanytruitt Nov 19 @ 9:10 AM EST
    I've seen this. Once they took away several of our state social studies tests, the amount of time spent on it (by admin, downtown leadership, spec ed department..) changed drastically. Reveals bigger issue: why are we still teaching subjects in isolation? #sunchat

    Social Studies is such a match with ELA - lots of stories, the need to comprehend - not sure why it's not valued. We need to move away from vertical subjects and look at them as horizontal. #sunchat

    • KatieOsgood_ Nov 18 @ 12:28 AM EST
      This is so true. Every school should have staff trained in multisensory systemic reading progs like Orton-Gillingham, but vast majority do not. I'm trained, but my school doesn t have the corresponding curriculum!!
  • Media_Barber Nov 19 @ 9:11 AM EST
    The problem I kep seeing is that the admins do not stop & think about effect on Ts. If we start with question “how can I best support my Ts in their classroom” then whole mindshift changes #sunchat

    Edufrustrations include teaching to the test, all the tests they have to take, the reputation teachers get from TV and politicians! #sunchat
  • effortfuleduktr Nov 19 @ 9:13 AM EST
    Exactly. And schools/districts see this shiny and pretty new 'toy' that will completely change everything and be the answer...but no...there's no real data/research to back up the claims. #sunchat

  • chrisclinewcps Nov 19 @ 9:15 AM EST
    #edufrustration is the reliance & focus on grades & test scores and not the learning & growth Ss are showing. Ss are not standard- learning, growth, successes all look different for different Ss. Learning has no expiration date or a set number assigned to it #sunchat
  • MissWinegar Nov 19 @ 9:15 AM EST

    I does seem like the trend is to increase time in ELA and math for the test scores to go up. But what about reading in the content area? Or math in science? I wish people would see there is a connection between subjects that can help not only on a test, but in life. #sunchat

    Never stepped foot into #sunchat before. But I'd tread with appropriate caution but will say something Extremely Critical and/or Unexpected if necessary.

    Another reason Twitter has value for me: serendipitous colliding of ideas/conversations. Check out this relevant tidbit, #sunchat, that just crossed my feed...
  • susankotch Nov 19 @ 9:38 AM EST
    I don't know any job where daily tasks don't combine disciplines. So why do we teach them that way? #perplexed #sunchat

    That’s so great. I follow teachers around the country and world and SO wish I could follow my own kids’ teachers here. #sunchat
  • cristinnowak Nov 19 @ 9:39 AM EST
    Absolutely! I love that twitter isn't about being competitive with other educators, but just being collaborative. I'm edugrateful about my colleagues who are super collaborative and then my PLN too! #sunchat

    My edufrustration is the push to continually drag students through content that they are not academically or developmentally ready for because "it's on the test", which leads to misbehavior & disengagement. #sunchat
  • carlameyrink Nov 19 @ 9:40 AM EST
    I think my Ts would be on board. They work on multi-disciplinary projects as often as they can. This would make it easier for them. #sunchat And collaborating would be great!

    And yet tweeps constantly praise and build up one another. So it’s also the credit they deserve that they may not get in the workplace. #sunchat
    • DrBody4Life Nov 19 @ 9:36 AM EST
      I’m edugrateful that twitter has helped me find professionals who share and support ideas without concern for who gets credit- just what’s best for students. That’s often not the case in the workplace. #sunchat
  • amyarbogash Nov 19 @ 9:42 AM EST

    My org @_Continuum did some work w/@BostonCollege on their core curriculum. Ts didn't like teaching it. Ss didn't love taking it. We paired V. Different profs (poetry, say, and chemistry) and had them team teach Complex Problems or Enduring Questions. Melding in action! #sunchat

    Also, I am #Edugrateful for the former students who come back to visit and tell me all the great things they are doing. That means more than I can explain in one tweet. It’s easy to lose sight of your impact in the moment, these visits help keep us going. #sunchat

    Happy coffee, #sunchat. My edufrustration is simple: there remains a persistent and counterproductive belief that teachers can not-- and often should not-- lead innovation in ed tech. It may be the most significant drag on growth in our school systems.
  • mr_hayes Nov 19 @ 9:47 AM EST
    I’m #edugrateful when a T, who is struggling with a student, works with me to support this child. The child appreciates it as well. Be humble and use your specialists. #sunchat
  • brianrozinsky Nov 19 @ 9:47 AM EST
    Your description of such conduits for creativity remind me of William Burrough's cut-ups: mashing seemingly unconnected elements together to see what emerges. https://t.co/WqRBG61wxs #sunchat

    Brave people--a group that might include artists, teachers, students, and businesses folk--see improvisation not as a threat but as an invigorating opportunity to do something great. #sunchat

    When I have a student that is struggling and what I’m doing is not working, I ask for help. There is no shame in doing this. We are smarter and more effective together. #edchat #sunchat

    I couldn't agree more. Why is there not a greater focus on developing informed and productive members of society? No matter what profession SS go into in the future being a contributing member of society is important and social studies teaches that #sunchat

    Hell yes, and: If improv is one something people in their 20s do for inexpensive fun in a cheaper section of the city... we're in trouble. It should be everywhere. Available to everyone. #sunchat
