I agree...all of those are awesome ways to understand what your students need! Also, asking them is a good way too (along with the other ways). #laedchat
A3: Building a relationship with them where you can teach and mentor them to want more and want to be better. It also helps in showing them the importance of wanting more. #LaEdChat
A3: I show them what it looks like when you fail and regroup.
Constant reminder that failure is an opportunity to dig deeper to achieve success
#LaEdChat

I remember when I first started using the term in class.
The kids started looking around to see who THE SCHOLAR was
It was both funny and sad
#LaEdChat
A4: For each scholar, learning objectives, content, methods and pacing may be different but I need them to show me that they can perform certain tasks
#LaEdChat
Yes, though I have no doubt they soon learned (1) who the scholars were and (2) that your expectations for them would be higher than they’d been accustomed to from previous teachers. #LaEdChat
A4: I agree... I'm all about the rigor. I just presented on that twice at TCEA. You have to have students start to connect the dots instead of only collecting them!!
No matter what subject I teach, my kids have blogs.
Some blog willingly
Some blog unwillingly
But I make sure that I take the time to read and comment
#LaEdChat It's necessary to listen to them
#KidsDeserveIt
A5: In addition to the performance based assessments that I assign, I make sure that some of their assignments are for them. Ie: Create a document about your favorite artist, food, person, etc.
I want them to tell me what they like
#LaEdChat
Sssshhhh, don't tell anyone but my class has never looked like my neighbor's and I really don't care what anyone thinks
I want them to want to do the work
#LaEdChat
A8: That is a biggie in terms of teacher training. That is the hardest thing for a teacher to do, but once they do... WOW!! We start with a challenge to a couple of teachers and when that works... it catches on! #laedchat
