#OHEdChat was started by an ad hoc group of Ohio educators and other interested people. For information and updates about the chat, visit https://ohedchat.wordpress.com/
Tonight's #OHedchat is focusing on Strengths Based Education - and the questions are based on the ASCD Book Teaching To Strengths Supporting Ss Living With Trauma, Violence and Chronic Stress.
A1: We are trying out chromecast enabled tv's to create collaboration stations - along with whiteboard space to give all Ss a chance to share ideas or their thinking #ohedchat
A:1 We’re so fortunate to have new flexible seating and learning spaces. We’re working through how to use it all most effectively as well as help teach our students how to recognize where/and with what they learn best #OHedchat
A1: Robin - IL, Our schl is a “trauma informed” schl thru our district. buildingrelationships, We have received @ACEsConnection training, @DocResilience#ohedchat
I like the statement "teach our Ss how to recognize where/and with what they learn best - that kind of metacognition is part of Strengths Based education. #OHedchat

A2: Favorite thing I did in kindergarten is utilizing the Zones of a Regulation and helping kids learn how they feel and then learning tools to help them get into a ready to learn zone. They created toolboxes of strategies that worked for them. #ohedchat
A3: I think the consistent implementation of PBIS has helped provide Ss with an environment with clear processes. Our elementary intentionally practices routines and provides feedback to Ss. Ss are beginning to recognize their strengths ! #OHedchat
A4: Every student (gr 6-8)gets time and support for a Passion Project. It is amazing to see what these Ss choose to do. They are difference makers, given the opportunity. #ohedchat
A4: I do the unstructured time of day...lunch/recess duty! We are in our 3rd year of @Playworks. Its a recess curriculum intended to facilitate positive play, conflict resolution. Voice & Choice is what we do! #ohedchat
I want to come visit your school Robin!! #Ohedchat I like eating lunch and doing recess time with our K Ss - it is always interesting to see what they choose to do - and listen to their conversations.
A5: I bring a vision for innovative learning for students and the ability to help build pathways for students and teachers to move toward a more inclusive, engaging and empowering learning environment. #ohedchat
A5: I bring 18+ years experience. My growth mindset “Learn, Adapt & Adjust” helps me with since education evolves and changes...its never remains constant. #ohedchat
A5: I think my strength is the ability to see connections where others may not - and then help Ss or Ts see those connections too. And I try to see the upside of possible challenges. #OHedchat
A6: I will be reaching out to a few students to invite them to the Fab lab for a leadership opportunity. Sometimes a kid hearing an admin say "It would be wonderful to have you as part of our FabLab Fellow (leadership) program. Come learn with me!" is a game changer. #ohedchat
