  • Braz74 - Moderator Sep 7 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    agreed- this isn't easy for anyone. We have to teach kids to have diff conversations if we want to create adults who will as well #sstlap
  • N_Davidson18 Sep 7 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2: Empower Ss to share their voices, either literally or figuratively. Many are too intimidated to speak up on issues. #sstlap
  • EvaaaaanD Sep 7 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    #sstlap A1) be proactive -- communicate and be consistent with expectations - model
  • FHS_Anton Sep 7 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2: Continue to push the boundaries of instruction and tinker to improve it, then share it out when the opps present themselves. #sstlap
  • MrRoughton Sep 7 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2) Keep pushing. Don't take "wait" for an answer. Not be ashamed to be called passionate. #sstlap

    A2: Try new techniques, approaches and strategies and continue to share with colleagues; encourage those who are reluctant to change #sstlap

    A2 Our district is working to establish better relationships with Ss. #sstlap
  • Meems852 Sep 7 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A2 I think teaching Ss about real life heroes & the impact they made on the world helps them see the importance of all their actions #sstlap
  • JeremyDBond Sep 7 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    How do you mean literally and figuratively in the context of speaking out? #sstlap
    In reply to @N_Davidson18
  • EvaaaaanD Sep 7 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A2) teach students HOW to think as opposed to WHAT to think #sstlap

    A2 cont'd: Started consulting co. @EDge_Innovative w/ @mrsantonscience to share out our ideas and how change has impacted classes. #sstlap
  • MrRoughton Sep 7 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2) Also time for my monthly reminder that sharing, not selling, your expertise with fellow teachers goes a long, long way. #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Sep 7 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A2 in my role- show Ts what ss can do- examples of ss work from other classes to get rid of kid's can't into kids did! tough convos #sstlap
  • N_Davidson18 Sep 7 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    Actually speaking up by using their voices and figuratively by simply using physical actions, writing, etc. #sstlap

      In reply to @N_Davidson18

    I think the try part is important - we aren't perfect and ss won't do the right thing all the time, but discuss and learn together #sstlap

  • FHS_Anton Sep 7 @ 9:21 PM EDT
    Definitely. The first step is taking the first step (I feel like that's probably a Yogiism). #sstlap

    Q3 #sstlap
  • Braz74 - Moderator Sep 7 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    great answer-most of the time ss behavior isn't about us-it is a manifestation of many other factors they are dealing w/address root #sstlap

    sounds like it - but of course its great advice #sstlap

    A3 What is best for kids is not always self evident. Best in the short run may not be best in the long run. #sstlap
  • MrRoughton Sep 7 @ 9:23 PM EDT
    A3) Have to constantly ask ourselves why when we do something. Constantly. I didn't push myself enough last year. It was too easy. #sstlap
  • MrsKannekens Sep 7 @ 9:23 PM EDT
    A2: intro kids to micro-lending like @Kiva where we can challenge other classes and then choose where our loan money will go #SStlap

    Def. difficult to find the balance. I've kind of taken perspective in district that I will help if asked, but won't push on ppl. #sstlap

    The fact that you're reflective enough to know that though is great. So huge that we are able to be our own biggest critics. #sstlap

    In my class, problem is there isn't a wide range...pretty lopsided ideologically, so it takes real courage to voice differing ideas #sstlap
