  • briandurgin Mar 6 @ 8:06 PM EST
    A1: pro it lets the T follow a plan. Con: it could give Ss less choice. #LearnLAP

    #LearnLAP Good evening! Bronwyn from CT. 7th and 8th grade ELA.
  • kristidonica Mar 6 @ 8:06 PM EST
    A1: Pro- students know exactly what to do. Con- students only give you exactly what you asked for- no creativity. #LearnLAP
  • srabrewer Mar 6 @ 8:06 PM EST
    A1:Pros: provides instruction, direction, guidance Cons: could reduce exploration, limit self-direction, generate dependency #learnlap

      Liz, principal from WI ready to learn with all of you! Bring on #learnlap!
  • Terencewhite23 Mar 6 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A1: pro is that you have a task for them to accomplish and the teach is goal driven. Con: will the Ss see the purpose? ?#LearnLAP
  • PegGrafwallner Mar 6 @ 8:07 PM EST
    So true! #learnlap
    • ElginElgin3 Mar 6 @ 8:06 PM EST
      A1: Con: They don't get the opportunity to think critically how to solve problems for themselves. #learnlap
  • ryanarnold1968 Mar 6 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A1 Telling to do good for easy tasks...the con is that there is no ownership if you're doing what someone else asks you to do it #learnlap
  • _AmandaFry Mar 6 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A1: Telling Ss is clear what the expectation is. However, Ss can become defensive and reactive, this lessening their engagement. #learnlap
  • ChouinardJahant Mar 6 @ 8:07 PM EST
    #learnlap To do something specific takes away their choice, creativity. Telling removes voice Asking, guiding, posing open-ended ques better
  • MsShute Mar 6 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A1: Pros - helps Ss who need that explicit, concrete direction, Cons - limits Ss thinking about what they CAN do #learnlap
  • BarbaraGruener Mar 6 @ 8:07 PM EST
    A1: Telling Ss what to do creates compliance but can squash curiosity, innovation and growth. #learnlap
  • PegGrafwallner Mar 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    Ss will only work as hard as we want them to! #learnlap
    • kristidonica Mar 6 @ 8:06 PM EST
      A1: Pro- students know exactly what to do. Con- students only give you exactly what you asked for- no creativity. #LearnLAP
  • MrRussoRH Mar 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    Q1: pros- we can be specific with students about what we want/need from them in certain situations. #LearnLAP
  • MattPorricelli Mar 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1: Pros - provides Ss with direction, and information from a reliable source Cons - decreases agency & increases compliance #LearnLAP
  • acottos Mar 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1: you will get a task completed. There could be consistency in the work/outcome. Ss will do it out of fear of consequences. #LearnLAP
  • MrDurajWildcats Mar 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    Hi all, Matt from Cleveland 7th grade math #LearnLAP
  • LemarrTreadwell Mar 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1. The biggest con in this strategy is the Shift occurring in education to allow Ss discovery of their learning #learnlap
  • sdtitmas Mar 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1 Sometimes when you tell them what to do, it can be a stepping stone to them choosing what to do next. #LearnLAP
    In reply to @RewardingEdu
  • MrWawczak Mar 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1: Con: Maybe reading into it but never like being told to do something. Maybe asked or challenged instead? #LearnLAP
  • briandurgin Mar 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    what if I tell them to pick a problem they see in the world and create a solution for it? #LearnLAP
    In reply to @ElginElgin3
  • PegGrafwallner Mar 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    Seems to be a fine line, sometimes, doesn't it? #learnlap
    In reply to @ChouinardJahant
  • kristidonica Mar 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    Very true! #LearnLAP
    In reply to @PegGrafwallner
  • Terencewhite23 Mar 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    I couldn't agree more with this! #learnlap
    In reply to @ElginElgin3
  • PMcPeake1 Mar 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
    A1 Pros, T's can be specific. Cons, S's stay within the line, creativity killer. #learnlap
  • RewardingEdu Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    Q2 What place do procedures and positive reinforcement have in your classroom? #LearnLAP
  • jasongriffinhgs Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1 Pro - Ask and you shall receive Con - We limit individualization #LearnLAP
  • MrWawczak Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1: Pro: There is guidance and a clear expectation. Con: No real purpose given; where is the buy in? #LearnLAP
  • SteinbrinkLaura Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1: Pro=Ss know exactly what you want from them. Con=You get ONLY what you ask for, nothing more-nothing less. #learnlap
  • MrSteinhauser Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    Thanks for retweeting! I'm inspired by people like you #learnlap
    In reply to @PaulSolarz
  • RewardingEdu Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    Specificity is important, Todd. Some kids need concrete directions. #LearnLAP
    • MrRussoRH Mar 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
      Q1: pros- we can be specific with students about what we want/need from them in certain situations. #LearnLAP
  • PegGrafwallner Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    Great point. Beginning w/ some direction, but then giving Ss opportunity for choice #learnlap
    • sdtitmas Mar 6 @ 8:08 PM EST
      A1 Sometimes when you tell them what to do, it can be a stepping stone to them choosing what to do next. #LearnLAP
      In reply to @RewardingEdu
  • _AmandaFry Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    So true. #learnlap
    • ryanarnold1968 Mar 6 @ 8:07 PM EST
      A1 Telling to do good for easy tasks...the con is that there is no ownership if you're doing what someone else asks you to do it #learnlap
  • MrRussoRH Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    Q1.1: cons- we limit S thinking about how to do something, re-enforce a stereotype that only adults know best, Ss conform. #LearnLAP
  • MrDurajWildcats Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1) they need to know the why and the purpose. How will that task help them to be better students and people #LearnLAP
  • acottos Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1.2: Ss will then begin to complete tasks only if told to which leads to lack of creativity/independent thought. #LearnLAP
  • ChouinardJahant Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1 #learnlap Deeper learning comes from personal choice, Relevance, and interest. Options lead to discovery, self-monitoring & independence
  • Terencewhite23 Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1A: do we like it when admin tells us what and how to do stuff? #realworld #LearnLAP
  • MikeSinde Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1: Ss sometimes need a starting point - a direction before exploring on their own. It helps to have an objective for Ss. #learnlap
  • Rdene915 Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    #learnlap A1 Con, Ss dont have choices, limits potential & indep Pro - know the expectations of assignment, etc. Helps guide
    In reply to @RewardingEdu
  • ShelfieTalk Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1 Inviting student voice and choice increases engagement and motivation. #LearnLap
  • PaulSolarz - Moderator Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1 - I want my students to build awareness of personal responsibility, so I try not to tell them to do things unless necessary! #LearnLAP
  • ERTOlson Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1:Pros: Clear expectation/direction. Cons: Limits voice, creativity, innovation, curiosity. Do we want compliance or engagement? #learnlap
  • 4thgradefrenzie Mar 6 @ 8:09 PM EST
    A1: Pro-Ss have clear directions on what's expected. Con- Ss give EXACTLY what is asked. #learnlap
  • ElginElgin3 Mar 6 @ 8:10 PM EST
    That would be fantastic!!!! Student ownership, Critical thinking/planning/reflecting. #LearnLap
    In reply to @briandurgin
  • MrsReinagel Mar 6 @ 8:10 PM EST
    A1: #LearnLAP The cons: may not be buy in. Disrespectful. Negative reactions. Pro: Sometimes you have to tell them to do something.
  • RewardingEdu Mar 6 @ 8:10 PM EST
    I like this emphasis on directions being foundational, Scott! #LearnLAP

    Nice distinction b/w compliance & innovation. I sometimes see Ts satisfied bc Ss r compliant, but r they engaged? #LearnLAP
    In reply to @BarbaraGruener
  • PaulSolarz - Moderator Mar 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    A2 - I try to design "rituals" that my students can follow without adult direction, allowing them the freedom to be student-led. #LearnLAP
  • rizzapiccio Mar 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    Good morning #LearnLAP Rizza here from Philippines
  • pearse_margie Mar 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    #learnlap Sorry so late. Will be in and out. But didn't want to miss this great chat! Margie from PA
  • MrPowley Mar 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    A2 procedures help to minimize the need for confrontations. If all know expectations there is less miscommunication and fights #learnlap
  • BarbaraGruener Mar 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    I have adopted this model from YOU and my Ss are rising to the occasion! They love the freedom and are thriving! #learnlap
    In reply to @PaulSolarz
  • ShelfieTalk Mar 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    Thanks! Great topic this evening. Thanks for moderating. #LearnLAP
    In reply to @PegGrafwallner
  • Terencewhite23 Mar 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    A2: procedures are a good classroom baseline for instruction. Positive reinforcement helps create a great culture for everyone. #LearnLAP
  • PegGrafwallner Mar 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
    Absolutely. Give Ss the chance to be leaders and they will surprise us! #learnlap
    • ChouinardJahant Mar 6 @ 8:11 PM EST
      A1 #learnlap We do not want compliance but Engagement. We do not want silence but organized chaos, stu-cent classrooms are all about choice
  • Hahne_KingEle Mar 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    A1 Telling, to me, means giving information. It's T-centered. Con: Ss don't always listen or react how you'd like #LearnLAP
  • MrSteinhauser Mar 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    A2: procedures are crucial in the beginning to learn systems but then students take ownership. I like to praise when I see awesome #learnlap
  • acottos Mar 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    A2: feedback and desire to grow as a learner should be their desired reward. The occasional surprise reward is nice, not necessary #LearnLAP
  • MrWawczak Mar 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    A2: The goal is as much responsibility as possible given to the Ss with procedures. Teach them responsibility by giving them some #LearnLAP
  • jasongriffinhgs Mar 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    Positive reinforcement makes following procedures much easier. #LearnLAP
  • sdtitmas Mar 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    A2 I'd say I have more expectations instead of procedures. Positive reinforcement IS KEY in my classroom. #LearnLAP
    In reply to @RewardingEdu
  • JessieRErickson Mar 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    A1: In a Student lead classroom, sometimes the teacher gets to pull rank. We have to do what we are told sometimes. Real Life! #LearnLAP
  • MrSteinhauser Mar 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    A2.1 Awesome happens a lot #learnlap
  • ElginElgin3 Mar 6 @ 8:12 PM EST
    A2: Don;t get me started on Positive reinforments. So necessary. Extremely beneficial for Ss with behaviors. Promote #learnlap
  • RewardingEdu Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    Q3 How can procedures & positive reinforcement be taken to a counterproductive extreme? #LearnLAP
  • MattPorricelli Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A2: procedures don't need to carbon copy recipes - norm behaviors that are interconnected serve a purpose and provide flexibility #LearnLAP
  • BarbaraGruener Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    YES! How do they become trustworthy if we don't trust them? How can they become leaders if we don't let them lead? #learnlap
    In reply to @PegGrafwallner
  • PegGrafwallner Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    I like the word "ritual," sounds valued and respected #learnlap
    In reply to @PaulSolarz
  • McNulty1977 Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A2: They do not have a place. They are the life-blood of my classroom. Like saying what place does oxygen belong in your body! #LearnLAP
  • MrSteinhauser Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A2.2: Believe in the greatness of your students. When you set the bar high they will surpass it & amaze you w/their abilities #learnlap
  • rizzapiccio Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A2 should be the TOP priority it is w/ procedure and + reinforcement that Ss strove to be their best #learnLAP
  • kristidonica Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A2: Procedures for specific things that are important/for safety. Pos. reinforcement keeps those happening. #LearnLAP
  • MrWawczak Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A2: Positive reinforcement always starts by me modeling. Love when the Ss start taking ownership and doing so w/ each other #LearnLAP
  • ERTOlson Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A2.2 Positive reinforcement used intermittently can be a powerful motivator when establishing routines and procedures. #learnlap
  • MsSaretsky Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A2) encourage on task behaviour and build relationships #learnlap
  • MrDurajWildcats Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A2: they drive my instruction. Focus on what s's do well and make baby steps in areas they struggle with. Celebrate small steps #learnlap
  • Rdene915 Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    #learnlap A2 impt to have clear procedures but involve Ss in some, + reinf great for building classroom culture, collab
    In reply to @RewardingEdu
  • rader4thgrade Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A2: I definitely have procedures that become the "norm" & positive reinforcement helps support expectations #learnlap #SuperFRES #FRESlucky
  • srabrewer Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    Q2: procedures and positive reinforcement are heart of my classroom - they pump life to instruction so it can happen seamlessly #LearnLAP
  • _AmandaFry Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A2: Procedures allow for self regulation and allows Ss to develop independence. Positive reinforcement affirms student choices. #learnlap
  • mrskodecrawford Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
    A2: Routines provide Ss with standard things that need done - all Ss can (should) help classroom function #LearnLAP
  • MsShute Mar 6 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A2: procedures help with the classroom flow, positive reinforcement encourages Ss engagement and desire to take risks #learnlap
  • PegGrafwallner Mar 6 @ 8:14 PM EST
    So agree! To much praise & Ss come to expect it. Meaningful struggle is okay! #learnlap
    • ERTOlson Mar 6 @ 8:13 PM EST
      A2.2 Positive reinforcement used intermittently can be a powerful motivator when establishing routines and procedures. #learnlap
  • specialtechie Mar 6 @ 8:14 PM EST

  • ElginElgin3 Mar 6 @ 8:14 PM EST
    A2: Don't get me started on positive reinforcements. So helpful for Ss with behaviors. Promote/praise the good. #learnlap
  • triciafreyes Mar 6 @ 8:14 PM EST
    @RewardingEdu #LearnLap A1 Con- compliance vs creation #IMMOOC But if you explain value and ask for new POVs then there can be pros to TO.
    In reply to @RewardingEdu
  • sdtitmas Mar 6 @ 8:14 PM EST
    Agreed. Also, reflect on what follows from your directions. Could Ss have led more? less? #LearnLAP

  • JessieRErickson Mar 6 @ 8:51 PM EST
    A11: We have Ss talk more than not. Process knowledge means learning. Ss should talk, argue, share, defend all the time. #Learnlap

    A10: doing with builds trust, camaraderie, can learn together, make mistakes together. I eat lunch with my littles so we can chat #LearnLAP

    #LearnLAP No pers 1-1 conv. Not getting to know your Ss is counter-prod. Only way to create a safe place for every stu is to know every stu

      Q12 How can teacher-student collaboration and dialogue be taken to a counterproductive extreme? #LearnLAP

      A11: provide the fabric of the classroom, the rapport, the feeling tone that is what makes students feel cared for and connected. #LearnLAP
  • kristidonica Mar 6 @ 8:52 PM EST
    Awesome! Great way for them to learn. Makes it easier to fail & learn when Ss know mistakes are expected. #LearnLAP

    A11 I think T-S relationships should be collaboration. Everyone is learning from each other in different ways. #LearnLAP

    #learnLAP A11: Every S who comes back to visit ALWAYS talks about the moments when we laughed, played, made mistakes, acted silly - together

    A12: Ss become dependent on Ts. There are more positives than negatives...but be careful the negatives don't last long! #LearnLAP
  • MrsReinagel Mar 6 @ 8:52 PM EST
    A9: #LearnLAP You don't want them dependent on do overs. If they are owning their learning and invested they will consistently do their best
  • SteinbrinkLaura Mar 6 @ 8:53 PM EST
    A11: Trick question ? This is my class. To prepare Ss for the world means they need to collab, discuss, etc. #learnlap
  • MrRussoRH Mar 6 @ 8:53 PM EST
    A12: if collaboration doesn't include opportunities for independence then Ss won't see their fullest potential.Need to take risks! #LearnLAP
  • JessieRErickson Mar 6 @ 8:53 PM EST
    A12: When Ss and/or Ts stop listening with their ears & hearts. Everyone deserves a voice, it is our job to role model listening. #Learnlap

    A12 #LearnLAP Nothing has more of an impact on lrng then a Tchr w/out compassion & interactive w/ their Ss. Isolation creates ambivalence.
