Q5: When have you seen your Ss or kids behave differently in different contexts? #collschat

MsYucis Nov 29 @ 7:34 PM EST

A5: I see Ss around town all the time. Interesting to see who comes up to say hi & who doesn't recognize me outside school. #collschat

CollsCompSci Nov 29 @ 7:34 PM EST

A5: This was so apparent when I taught middle school. I was the only leveled subject (math). (continued in next tweet). #collschat

mmebriggs11 Nov 29 @ 7:34 PM EST

I had a student who I believed to be LEP until I saw him with his friends in the hallways/cafe. #collschat

A4: If my daughter takes a 3 hr nap then she doesn't want to go to bed 🙄. Distracted tonight lol #collschat

colls_academic Nov 29 @ 7:35 PM EST

A5: Or when you see @mmebriggs11 at a concert? I love when the context changes! #collschat

A5: As a coach, I've seen quiet students become confident and outgoing on the field. It always surprises me! #collschat

whalen - Moderator Nov 29 @ 7:38 PM EST

A5: Always amazed when I see students perform in the band & @CollsChoirs sometimes the quietest kid in class sings like an angel! #collschat

Or ss who can be disengaged and unfocused in a class, be completely dedicated in a sport #collschat

colls_academic Nov 29 @ 7:38 PM EST

A5: The stage stars always surprise and impress me. #collschat

kysmith424 Nov 29 @ 7:39 PM EST

A5: I see Ss act one way with me in my office and completely different in class with teachers! #collschat

whalen - Moderator Nov 29 @ 7:40 PM EST

Q6: What would Rose say about the context of our modern teacher observations? #collschat

MsYucis Nov 29 @ 7:41 PM EST

A6: What do our eval scores truly mean? Danielson herself disapproves of how her rubric is used. #collschat

JB_Popliteus Nov 29 @ 7:41 PM EST

A5: A big difference seen in LGBT+ Ss. They behave differently based on the classroom environment established by the Ts #collschat

kathrynribay Nov 29 @ 7:42 PM EST

A5: love seeing Ss looking out for younger siblings & seeing how much the sibling looks up to them #collschat

whalen - Moderator Nov 29 @ 7:42 PM EST

A6: Anything more complex than height shouldn't be distilled down to 1 number... I guess teaching isnt that complex. #sarcasm #collschat

colls_academic Nov 29 @ 7:42 PM EST

A6: As a thrice embarrassed SAT choker, I would argue very little is actually measured. #collschat

MrsMurat Nov 29 @ 7:43 PM EST

A5: when they feel like another T doesn't actually care about them. Maslow before Bloom. #collschat

colls_academic Nov 29 @ 7:44 PM EST

A6: And talk about context? Think about how much we don't know when we evaluate/are evaluated. #collschat

whalen - Moderator Nov 29 @ 7:47 PM EST

Q7: Faster is better = where do we encourage this ideal inside (and outside) our schools (willingly or unwillingly)? #collschat

kathrynribay Nov 29 @ 7:47 PM EST

A6: trying to wrap my head around this as a researcher. Drawn to stats bc I like numbers but need to find a way to keep context #collschat

MrsMurat Nov 29 @ 7:47 PM EST

out when we evaluate a student based on an incomplete picture. #collschat

MsYucis Nov 29 @ 7:48 PM EST

A7: I think a sense of urgency is important, as are deadlines, but students who need more time should get it, w/in reason #collschat

CollsCompSci Nov 29 @ 7:48 PM EST

A7: I discourage rushing always. I constantly say the phrase, “The goal is not to be done. The goal is to learn.” #collschat

whalen - Moderator Nov 29 @ 7:48 PM EST

A7: Our entire is obsessed with "hustle" and not sleeping til you reach the top. That has to change. #collschat

mmebriggs11 Nov 29 @ 7:49 PM EST

A7: that pressure for speed is seen in set curriculums and trying to "reach a point" #collschat

cwahlCHS Nov 29 @ 7:50 PM EST

A7: I also discourage rushing. I hand out "speeding tickets" to kids who rush and make careless mistakes. #collschat

MsYucis Nov 29 @ 7:50 PM EST

totally agree with what both of you are saying. This speaks to me!! #collschat

In reply to @JB_Popliteus, @whalen

kysmith424 Nov 29 @ 7:50 PM EST

I agree with deadlines bc w/o, things won't get done (myself included). I tend to make mistakes with a sense of urgency #collschat

mmebriggs11 Nov 29 @ 7:50 PM EST

A7: The timeline should be able to be changed year to year class to class student to student #collschat

whalen - Moderator Nov 29 @ 7:51 PM EST

A7: Ive done my best work when relieved of the pressure of hard deadlines. #collschat

CollsChoirs Nov 29 @ 7:52 PM EST

A7: it's weird for me because if you rush, you don't learn but at the same time, that concert date is an unmovable deadline! #collschat

K_Skipper628 Nov 29 @ 7:52 PM EST

A7: There's a pressure to be successful quickly! Plan for the next big thing instead of focusing on the present #collschat

whalen - Moderator Nov 29 @ 7:53 PM EST

A7: I loved the study showing equal overall time, but more individual attention, and varied time per S, far better results #collschat

whalen - Moderator Nov 29 @ 7:54 PM EST

Q8: Thoughts? What do we do to change this? #collschat

CollsCompSci Nov 29 @ 7:55 PM EST

A8: I am blessed to no longer teach a tested subject. I provide opportunities for learning and accept what Ss can accomplish. #collschat

MsYucis Nov 29 @ 7:55 PM EST

A8: Self-paced learning is great, but the motivation and interest have to be there. #collschat

CollsChoirs Nov 29 @ 7:56 PM EST

I don't know @whalen, I mean I REALLY can't dance! #collschat

whalen - Moderator Nov 29 @ 7:56 PM EST

A8: So many systemic changes needed - Less requirements, later start times, ultimately better S/T ratios. #collschat

colls_academic Nov 29 @ 7:56 PM EST

Evidence. Bomb. #collschat

K_Skipper628 Nov 29 @ 7:57 PM EST

A8: I love when I tutor a ss and give them more time to learn a certain skill and they get it! #collschat

JB_Popliteus Nov 29 @ 7:58 PM EST

A8: self-pacing and student driven context is possible with Problem Based Learning. #collsPBL #PBL #collschat

whalen - Moderator Nov 29 @ 7:59 PM EST

Thats it for tonight! Thanks for joining in folks! Love this group and our discussions - see you next week to finish up the book! #collschat

colls_academic Nov 29 @ 7:59 PM EST

A8: What is the point? The outcome or the path? #collschat

CollsCompSci Nov 29 @ 8:00 PM EST
