MsMeservey Oct 24 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@MichaelisMath photos or it didn't happen! #EdChatME

jessica_reddout Oct 24 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A1: I start w/ my district created curriculum maps & compare w/ S data to drive the instruction my S's need to master skills #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A1: Goals, Goals, Goals. Not only what CAN Ss do at endpoint, but “why does it matter?” Identify numerous authentic applications. #Edchatme

T_HEB Oct 24 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A1 A great deal of our work is thematic. I think of the Ss, their needs, interests, & weigh it against standards & expectations. #EdChatME

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A1) I usually start with the goal/expectation, per the UBD process. Gotta know where the end is before u start. #edchatme

MiaLMorrison Oct 24 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A1 I try to be clear about the end goal… what is it that I hope Ss will gain or learn - no matter what path they take to get there #EdChatMe

MisterCMaine - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:36 PM EDT

YUP! If we don't start w/ the kids... what's the point?! #EdChatME https://t.co/l8BaX4ssXy

A1. Try to think about Ss and their needs. Then the learning goals. #EdChatME

T_HEB Oct 24 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A1 cont. After weighing S interest & standards thinking about S outcomes, goals. How can we get there? #edchatme

jessica_reddout Oct 24 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A1 cont.: I try to find resources that connect to my S's learning styles & interests. I ask myself, how can I make this engaging #EdChatME

@misterbrigham I mean, Ts respond to PD w/the same questions. #edchatme

Ed_by_design Oct 24 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A1) #EdChatME Start at end, then figure out what students think they know, & work to problematize their understandings. I'm into easy answs

MisterCMaine - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@WickedDecent Agreed! Sometimes there’s just some cool stuff to engage with and you KNOW everyone will learn something! #EdChatMe

Ed_by_design Oct 24 @ 8:41 PM EDT

A1) #EdChatME Begin @ End, then what Ss think they know, then I problematize their knowledge. Challenging them to rethink prior knowledge

@DrewetteCard I do feel like things are really clicking for me this year. #smallsteps #EdChatME

EdChatME Oct 24 @ 8:43 PM EDT

@nataleestotz awesome! Please share your successes on the FB page. #edchatme

MisterCMaine - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A2: See A1 & backwards design. Find a problem that's authentic/relevant to Ss. They need to discover who they are to REALLY learn. #EdChatME

nataleestotz Oct 24 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A2: Definitely for the Ss. I'm more & more committed to designing school for my Ss. #EdChatME https://t.co/Yu8o4xrCCj

MichaelisMath - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A1: Where're we going? In PreCalc, what makes this diff. from Alg. 2? Howw will we encounter it in AP calc? And real applications! #EdChatME

MsMeservey Oct 24 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A2:I design for standards and ss. What is the outcome, how do I need to back up and fill in, whole class, groups, break as needed. #EdChatME

barbosca Oct 24 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A2: I design for the people I hope my students will become. #EdChatME

nataleestotz Oct 24 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard I will. need to write about what I'm learning & how things are coming together. Having an authentic audience helps! #EdChatME

MisterCMaine - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A2 (cont): Although I design for the Ss, I find it important to communicate to all stakeholders so we can best support Ss. #EdChatME

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A1) Most of what I design is based on district-wide goals, then customize activities & opptys for ind Ts/Ss. #design4thesystem #edchatme

MsMeservey Oct 24 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@barbosca What does that look like? #EdChatME

WickedDecent Oct 24 @ 8:45 PM EDT

.@misterbrigham Perfect edu-world is "start w learning goal;" reality is that inspiration rarely starts w a standard #edchatme #sblchat

FrazierTeacher Oct 24 @ 8:45 PM EDT

#edchatme Q2) Ss first, but with Standards in mind for how we can align cool ideas with Ss needs

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A2: For Ss ALWAYS! Alignment to curriculum/standards matters, tailored for Ss. Takes some extra thinking but worth the payout. #edchatme

Ed_by_design Oct 24 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A2) #EdChatME 1st for self to see how it goes, then 1st iterate for Ss, Reflct with Ss help at end. "If it's boring to me, it is to them."

jessica_reddout Oct 24 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A2: I design for the outcome of the standard & for what my S's need to succeed to their next level #EdChatME

T_HEB Oct 24 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A2 For Ss. School is meant for our learners. Their experience is important. Standards in the background as a guide. #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:46 PM EDT

And what does that entail? Details! #edchatme https://t.co/XNL1cIxEiN

barbosca Oct 24 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A2: I design for the people I hope my students will become. #EdChatME

MichaelisMath - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A2: *Always* for the students. Checking off items on a list won't matter if the students aren't learning. #EdChatME

A1 I try and start by thinking about the Ss and then look at the standards/goal & tailor the lessons/units for both #differentiate #edchatme

T_HEB Oct 24 @ 8:47 PM EDT

If we know our content, trust our pedagogy, & listen to our Ss shouldn't standards fall into place? #edchatme I'm Gumby dammit.

MiaLMorrison Oct 24 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A2 How can Ss apply the learning goals to something meaningful - let them make connections #edchatme

robinwellshick1 Oct 24 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A2- I design for the Ss, or because of the need or want of Ss, then i fold in the standards . #edchatME

@DrewetteCard @misterbrigham we are human after all. #edchatme well. Most of us.

A2 For Ss. School is meant for our learners. Their experience is important. Standards in the background as a guide. #edchatme

If we know our content, trust our pedagogy, & listen to our Ss shouldn't standards fall into place? #edchatme I'm Gumby dammit.

If you don't know your Ss yet, how can you start your planning with them? #EdChatME

MsMeservey Oct 24 @ 8:49 PM EDT

@barbosca What then is an outcome you have given your students? #EdChatME

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@LotyssBlossym @WickedDecent organic = authentic & relevant to ur students, and then our job becomes HMW connect/guide to the goal #edchatme

WickedDecent Oct 24 @ 8:51 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard take a look at MCCL ELA standards & find me the standard language that gets you excited about going to work #edchatme

EdChatME Oct 24 @ 8:52 PM EDT

Q3: When you design for Ss, how do you intentionally plan w/ Ss needs/passions in mind? #EdChatME https://t.co/gW8ukmXBNp

MsMeservey Oct 24 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@WickedDecent @DrewetteCard I may be weird, but argument writing gets me excited. I know it is something they will use. #EdChatME

WickedDecent Oct 24 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard I agree that it's CONTEXT, reason for pursuing the standard is exciting; show you can do this in service of boom #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@WickedDecent I hear you... I know them... but like anything, it's our perspective & mindset that makes it positive/engaging #edchatme

KeaneyNicole Oct 24 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@nataleestotz Use KWLs, pre-testing, formative assessments can help with this, too. Give a KWL a few weeks before a unit #edchatme

WickedDecent Oct 24 @ 8:53 PM EDT

@MsMeservey @DrewetteCard ahhh because of the context, like Matt said -- it's the underlying purpose, not the standard itself #edchatme

MsMeservey Oct 24 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A3: Right now I am only at the level where I am making sure I mod for lower and higher ss. That is where I am... #EdChatME

MsMeservey Oct 24 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@barbosca Wow, that is good. #EdChatME

MisterCMaine - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@WickedDecent it depends which standards we're focused on? Low level, memorization = who cares. Deeper thinking = let's dig in. #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A3: Know your students. What supports/deliveries will enable all to engage? What IRL examples will prove meaningful, interesting? #edchatme

WickedDecent Oct 24 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard exactly; my bigger HMW: how might our curricula reflect context & goals beyond academic language & expectations? #edchatme

Ed_by_design Oct 24 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A3 #Edchatme offer choice at all levels and modalities. Ss passions are always well known by Ss themselves. Choice allows for discovery

sparks1sarah Oct 24 @ 8:55 PM EDT

Q3. Let Ss help find their problem to solve. If the learning goal and rubric is set, let Ss help design and be learning guide. #EdChatME

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@WickedDecent @MsMeservey of course.A football isn't exciting but in the hands of Tom Brady it's thrilling.Context is everything #edchatme

nataleestotz Oct 24 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A3: Be willing to flex, shift, & release. Have to give up sacred cows. #EdChatME

jessica_reddout Oct 24 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A3: I plan to make the learning engaging. I try to incorporate movement, collaboration, and creativity into the lessons #edchatme

MiaLMorrison Oct 24 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A3 Give Ss choice to follow their interests in either content, expression or both! #edchatme Help them understand the goal & let 'em go!

WickedDecent Oct 24 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@MisterCMaine makes one pause: if we need to unpack a standard for Ss to "get at deeper thinking," is it well written curriculum? #edchatme

misterbrigham Oct 24 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard @WickedDecent @MsMeservey #perspective #EdChatME

MisterCMaine - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A3: Provide personalized pathways thru kick ass pedagogy - design thinking, PBL, Genius Hour, etc., all passion fueled. #EdChatME

#edchatme https://t.co/z738fvDuNH

@DrewetteCard planning for an outcome where the student demonstrates a combination of knowledge, passion, and being a caretaker of others.

@MisterCMaine makes one pause: if we need to unpack a standard for Ss to "get at deeper thinking," is it well written curriculum? #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 24 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@WickedDecent that becomes our design challenge! HMW engage Ss in applying curiosity & context to our dull & lifeless standards? #edchatme

barbosca Oct 24 @ 8:59 PM EDT

A3 Flood the classroom with choice and avenues for voice. #edchatme

WickedDecent Oct 24 @ 8:59 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard It isn't that goals are bad -- it's that so many goals narrowly defined & written from jargon rather than relevance #edchatme

misterbrigham Oct 24 @ 8:59 PM EDT

A3 As others have pointed out, student choice is a huge win in this area. #EdChatME

KeaneyNicole Oct 24 @ 8:59 PM EDT

A3 Giving options in all levels is great way to learn about Ss. 2/3 paths to the same goal, and there is motivation built in too #EdChatME

EdChatME Oct 24 @ 9:00 PM EDT

Here comes Q4! Let’s start connecting designing w/ effectiveness & reflection/evaluation #edchatme

WickedDecent Oct 24 @ 9:01 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard why do we have to put it on kids to find the angles & build relevance? I suppose it's a higher order challenge tho #edchatme

FrazierTeacher Oct 24 @ 9:03 PM EDT

I said to my Ss the other day..."I want to hear and see the learning happening" #edchatme https://t.co/noKLyt5UFz

MisterCMaine - Moderator Oct 24 @ 9:01 PM EDT
YES! Get kid's up. Get them thinking differently. If it's loud & messy, it's probably a good lesson. #EdChatME https://t.co/XcwK5u84Yv

  A3: I plan to make the learning engaging. I try to incorporate movement, collaboration, and creativity into the lessons #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 24 @ 9:03 PM EDT

@WickedDecent they almost HAVE to be, though. Standards have to apply across borders and contexts so they must be openly vague. #edchatme

WickedDecent Oct 24 @ 9:03 PM EDT

@MsMeservey and the answer may well be yes; the more time we spend looking at community buy in for PBE, makes me wonder tho #edchatme

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator Oct 24 @ 9:04 PM EDT

A4: Countless measurement ops: pencil & paper exit slips, classroom observations, a powerful formative tech tool like @PearDeck #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 24 @ 9:04 PM EDT

Exactly. Teach them to make connections anywhere, with anything; to decode anything/anytime. #edchatme https://t.co/AJAB1RGQtF

A4: Pedagogy = inquiry. Ss are problem finders, not just problem solvers. Ss lead/own learning by creating path guiding by Ts. #EdChatME

WickedDecent Oct 24 @ 9:06 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard Imagine if students were able to spend 1/2 time on the decoding standards & put it towards designing learning #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 24 @ 9:06 PM EDT

@WickedDecent unfortunately, sometimes... yes. As a recovering Phil. major, that was all I read, so maybe I'm just used to it. #edchatme

MisterCMaine - Moderator Oct 24 @ 9:07 PM EDT

A4 (cont): When you focus on a authentic/relevant problem & make connections, it's about learning, NOT being good at school. #EdChatME

MisterCMaine - Moderator Oct 24 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A4: Formative assessment! Lots of feedback/dialogue/Qs/connections/etc. Make it about learning, not the grade. #EdChatME

WickedDecent Oct 24 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard I'm just thinking abt what it would feel like if we saw curriculum as popcorn rather than puzzle #peoplelovepopcorn #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 24 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@WickedDecent it'd be great... but systemically I don't think we are there yet, as designing is higher complexity than decoding. #edchatme

@DrewetteCard is it in best interests of all students to learn to unpack edu-jargon that was wordsmithed for policy makers? #edchatme

@WickedDecent is it in the best interest of Ss to decipher and make meaning of language in various & authentic contextual formats? #edchatme

elawson1977 Oct 24 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A5: in HS this could be matching students to appropriate internships to gain real world application and evaluation #Edchatme

WickedDecent Oct 24 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard isn't that why kids have to decode tho? so they can then help determine their pathways? otherwise, why decode? #edchatme

A5. Learning happens all hours of the day. Anytime, anywhere - the Q is how to we assess that and connect to standards? #EdChatME

WickedDecent Oct 24 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard yes; and should the document by which their learning is guided be something that needs deciphering? #edchatme

MisterCMaine - Moderator Oct 24 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A5: Pedagogy = human-centered, empathy-fueld. @WickedDecent says look at #designthinking as a pedagogy, not just a project. #EdChatME

MichaelisMath - Moderator Oct 24 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A5: Ask Ss what they want to be. Bring in those people. Ask them how [subject] matter(s/ed) to them. Not just teacher "relevance." #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 24 @ 9:15 PM EDT

@WickedDecent Right. Gotta learn to crawl before they can walk. We can help them achieve both goals through scaffolding & choice #edchatme

@WickedDecent It has to be. There’s no cookie-cutter curric, T, S, or school, so every standard HAS to be deciphered contextually. #edchatme

All this talk about matching/aligning/unpacking standards has me heartbroken. This is not what teaching and learning is about. #edchatme

WickedDecent Oct 24 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard So they have to learn to decode obtuse, vague language before they can learn to apply the skills w/n the standards? #edchatme

@DrewetteCard deciphered or designed? if the language is well crafted for lots of contextualization, can't we design faster? #edchatme

@DrewetteCard I'm going to keep asking why language has to be deliberately complex; relevance can't be found w less complex lang? #edchatme

A6: Isn't "time" always the answer?! But truly: time to reflect, share, practice, refine w/content folks who also want to improve. #edchatme

WickedDecent Oct 24 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard where I think we are disagreeing is in the necessary degree of complex diction to craft a curriculum #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator Oct 24 @ 9:25 PM EDT

@WickedDecent Of course, but context & relevance is highly localized (diff fr/ ME to Iowa). Standards have to apply everywhere #edchatme
