Hello #cdnedchat! I'm Shauna in Toronto - right now, my focus in on #classmagic - and kids are always at the centre!

Hello! Zelia here from Toronto @tdsb #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:06 PM EST

Pretty quiet in tonight's #cdnedchat - wonder if any #edtechchat folks want to talk about #StudentCenteredLearning

cdnedchat - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:06 PM EST

For those who are new...we do a “structured chat” with Question 1, Q1, with Answer 1, A1, to support all to participate! #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:07 PM EST

@ZeliaMCT @tdsb Hi Zelia! Welcome to #cdnedchat - thanks for joining us tonight!

cdnedchat - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:07 PM EST

Tonight’s #cdnedchat topic is Student Centred Classrooms!

cdnedchat - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:07 PM EST

Let’s get started! Our first question is coming up! #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:07 PM EST

@ZeliaMCT @tdsb Welcome, Zelia. Great to have you join us tonight. #cdnedchat

raspberryberet3 Jan 18 @ 8:07 PM EST

@jpetersen02 I'll pop in! #cdnedchat #edtechchat :)

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:08 PM EST

Q1: Teacher leadership is changing. Sage on the stage, Guide on the Side or Collaborative Curator. What kind of educator are you? #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:08 PM EST

@ZeliaMCT @raspberryberet3 @tdsb @jpetersen02 Hi Shelly! Welcome! Nice to see you here tonight! #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:08 PM EST

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:08 PM EST

@raspberryberet3 Hi Shelly! It's going to be great fun! #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: "Collaborative Curator" is a term I'm trying to get some traction on! It's the best way to define my role in the mess w Ss #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1: I would say that I tried to be guide on the side, but resorted to sage-mode once in a while for teacher-directed instruction #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:10 PM EST

@rchids - thanks for joining us tonight! Make sure to use the hashtag #cdnedchat

jprofNB Jan 18 @ 8:11 PM EST

Hi everybody, Joël from Callander, Ontario. Will be in & out tonight during the chat. #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:11 PM EST

@raspberryberet3 @rchids I think the sage business is a falsehood in today's world. #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:11 PM EST

@jpetersen02 A1: I would say that most days I try to be a guide on the side. However, times for sure when I am sage on the stage. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:11 PM EST

Welcome, @jprofNB - thanks for joining us tonight! #cdnedchat

@jprofNB Great to see you in the chat tonight, Joel. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:13 PM EST

Hey, #edtechchat - if you want to try double dipping in a second chat tonight, we've got some student-centred stuff going on in #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:13 PM EST

Totally agree, for opening or closing, whole-class is sometimes the only way I can see it being effective #cdnedchat https://t.co/otkYnavVhS

rchids Jan 18 @ 8:12 PM EST

@jpetersen02 @raspberryberet3 I'll kick things off, but there is a lot of me providing feedback and keeping the cognitive load on the Ss

raspberryberet3 Jan 18 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: collaborative curator; working together as a team allows Ss & T to bring ideas/perspectives to table. Solve together. #cdnedchat

jprofNB Jan 18 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: I strive for the 2nd and 3rd, but I think sometimes it takes a little of the 1st also. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:14 PM EST

. @jprofNB I agree! One model doesn't work all the time for all the kids - successful teaching recipe takes a bit from each type! #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:14 PM EST

Yes, my classroom can look like both of these throughout the day. #cdnedchat https://t.co/8hScB11O66

Amazing educators or twitter, come share your student-centred learning tips right now with #cdnedchat!

ZeliaMCT Jan 18 @ 8:15 PM EST

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:15 PM EST

Q2: How do a teacher’s vulnerability, risk taking and failures help students? #cdnedchat

jprofNB Jan 18 @ 8:16 PM EST

Yes, I see it as a form of differentiation. #cdnedchat https://t.co/tUhhAoVhQE

Hi, #cdnedchat - tweeting from the very snowy Bruce County tonight. I'm an OT.

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: I think an env where risk is encouraged, failure is accepted without stigma builds a positive classroom culture #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:17 PM EST

Please add your ideas about student centred classrooms here: https://t.co/yPPtsCA3u7 #cdnedchat #edchat #4thchat

rchids Jan 18 @ 8:17 PM EST

Q2: How do a teacher’s vulnerability, risk taking and failures help students? #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:17 PM EST

Welcome @GShular! Thanks for joining us tonight! This is my first winter in Toronto and there is very little snow here! #cdnedchat

jprofNB Jan 18 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2: I think its authentic modelling #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:18 PM EST

@GShular Hi Graham, great to see you again. #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:18 PM EST

@rchids Absolutely right! When we show our humility and humanity, it encourages students to relate and connect in the classroom #cdnedchat

GShular Jan 18 @ 8:18 PM EST

A1: I find that when Ts leave clear plans for me, they often involve sage on the stage. Helps me to follow the lesson. #cdnedchat

rchids Jan 18 @ 8:18 PM EST

@jpetersen02 I see it each day! #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2: Students see that the teacher is learning with them and modelling effective strategies to deal with risks and failure #cdnedchat

GShular Jan 18 @ 8:20 PM EST

A2: authentic learning is best modeled when I'm vulnerable. Still in control, but my Ss have autonomy, too. #cdnedchat cdnedchat

jprofNB Jan 18 @ 8:20 PM EST

A2: Because... #cdnedchat https://t.co/A7RPvDYLBV

raspberryberet3 Jan 18 @ 8:20 PM EST

A2: Ts need to model failure & #growthmindset w/ Ss; they need to know its ok to fail & keep trying #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:20 PM EST

@gshular - What is your ideal teaching model for when you have your own classroom? #cdnedchat

ZeliaMCT Jan 18 @ 8:20 PM EST

A2: Share my failures & what strategies I used to help myself move forward & what Ilearned #cdnedchat even as an adult = growth in learning

GShular Jan 18 @ 8:21 PM EST

@rchids when Ss are working collaboratively- this is an opportunity to guide from the side. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:21 PM EST

.@jprofNB The magic happens outside your comfort zone! #classmagic https://t.co/cKU1JeOSbv #cdnedchat

ERobbPrincipal Jan 18 @ 8:21 PM EST

@misspollock @TheCandyDish Q2: It is great to demonstrate to students that we do not know all the answers- #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:22 PM EST

A2: I think it is so important for my students to see I am learning all the time. We have a quiz Q every morning 1/2 #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:22 PM EST

I had a saying in my classsroom: "Being wrong is okay. Choosing to stay wrong isn't." #cdnedchat

GShular Jan 18 @ 8:22 PM EST

@misspollock a mix! We're all learning together. Different instructional styles help to target different learning styles. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:22 PM EST

.@ZeliaMCT So great to show students, by example, how to deal with frustration, disappointment and persevere in learning #cdnedchat

jprofNB Jan 18 @ 8:22 PM EST

I totally agree ! #cdnedchat https://t.co/wWmBO6vma8

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:21 PM EST

.@jprofNB The magic happens outside your comfort zone! #classmagic https://t.co/cKU1JeOSbv #cdnedchat

ZeliaMCT Jan 18 @ 8:22 PM EST

Agreed! Ss watch ur reaction 2 failure &how you move past it; failure doesn't hold u back only "-" attitude; Ts help set the tone #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:23 PM EST

A2: 2/2 on the announcements. The students are surprised how I never know the answer. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:23 PM EST

.@ERobbPrincipal Yes! #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:24 PM EST

@ZeliaMCT Exactly right! +ive attitude means that failure is accepted, owned, and informs future learning. #cdnedchat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 18 @ 8:24 PM EST

Sorry for the late entry... had to put the little one to sleep. Chris Lee, from Toronto! #cdnedchat

rchids Jan 18 @ 8:24 PM EST

1 of my higher order Ss had a very tough time the other day. The Ss watched how she dealt with it and how I dealt with her 1/2 #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:24 PM EST

Q3: If your goal is to create a “class that runs itself,” how can you empower your students to take ownership of their learning? #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:25 PM EST

@Chris_Lee_TDSB Welcome, Chris! Good to see you! @TheCandyDish just tweeted out Q3 #cdnedchat

rchids Jan 18 @ 8:25 PM EST

We both knew they were watching...she stuck to the game plan and I provided feedback and let her to the thinking 2/2 #cdnedchat

Tonight in #cdnedchat - we're making a thing! https://t.co/yPPtsCA3u7 You can join the chat or add right to the doc!

ERobbPrincipal Jan 18 @ 8:28 PM EST

@TheCandyDish Q3: Remove the point chase encourage risk-provide feedback-try Genius hour #cdnedchat The Robb Review https://t.co/DUONQLT2qQ

ZeliaMCT Jan 18 @ 8:28 PM EST

A3: Ss need opportunities 2 take the lead, find peer leaders, b prepared 2 provide peer fdbk & time 2 bumpup/reflect on learning #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:28 PM EST

@GShular Yes. My lesson plans for subs are often very much sage on the stage. Just easier to follow and explain. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:28 PM EST

A3: Involve the students from day 1 in creating expectations for behaviour, including those for learning. They own the experience #cdnedchat

rchids Jan 18 @ 8:28 PM EST

A3: consider their interests and work around them rather than have the Ss cater to the Teacher! #cdnedchat https://t.co/t9JXk3PpI1

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:24 PM EST

Q3: If your goal is to create a “class that runs itself,” how can you empower your students to take ownership of their learning? #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:29 PM EST

.@TheCandyDish @GShular My guest teacher plans lack detail, if I know I'll be away, Ss sign up to run all parts of the day #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:29 PM EST

@GShular Or, I just have to write - "The students know what to do" because it is too hard to explain Guide on the Side. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:29 PM EST

@TheCandyDish @misspollock @GShular The guest teacher has very little to do other than supervise for safety - kids run the day! #cdnedchat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 18 @ 8:30 PM EST

A2: Because Ss get to understand that failure is a part of the PROCESS. Talk about modelling #resilience! #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:31 PM EST

@misspollock @GShular Yes, I have to say, 'Look at the Leadership board if you have any ??'s. #cdnedchat #LearnLAP

ZeliaMCT Jan 18 @ 8:32 PM EST

Yes! https://t.co/uTK62n7B6r & https://t.co/UD2JIvIpgM Revisited almost daily by Ss especially when working with peers/groups #cdnedchat

ZeliaMCT Oct 7 @ 1:48 PM EDT

Several drafts were co-constructed with Ss but we have finally agreed upon our class contract 4 group work @tdsb http://t.co/09SUGLQhqg

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:32 PM EST

@TheCandyDish @GShular Always leave a note for guest teacher-if you have a better idea or something you want to try - go for it! #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:32 PM EST

.@TheCandyDish @GShular When I come back, Ss self evaluate and give feedback on other Ss who led (and the guest teacher) #cdnedchat

jprofNB Jan 18 @ 8:33 PM EST

And often the process is more important than the end result. #cdnedchat https://t.co/6L0KdzniSA

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 18 @ 8:30 PM EST

A2: Because Ss get to understand that failure is a part of the PROCESS. Talk about modelling #resilience! #cdnedchat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 18 @ 8:33 PM EST

A3: Requires Ss that take ownership; empower Ss by giving them Voice for class jobs, assignments, topics... #cdnedchat

GShular Jan 18 @ 8:33 PM EST

A3: Focussing on assessment as learning would help to empower Ss b/c they would be in control of understanding their own learning #cdnedchat

cdnedchat - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:36 PM EST

Q4: How does a student-centred classroom look different than a traditional one? #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:36 PM EST

Q4: How does a student-centred classroom look different than a traditional one? #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:37 PM EST

A4: It's a lot noisier than a teacher-directed one. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:37 PM EST

A4: You can't find the teacher. They are in the thick of things with the kids, who are highly engaged and hard at work. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:37 PM EST

A4: When a visitor comes to the room and asks Ss what is going on, the Ss can answer - with passion and detail #cdnedchat

GShular Jan 18 @ 8:38 PM EST

A4: Mobile: I picture groups of learners of all ages, moving around, searching for answers to their questions. #cdnedchat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 18 @ 8:38 PM EST

@jpetersen02 Good noisy hopefully!!! :) #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:39 PM EST

A4: Things are always changing in response to needs, interests and the next exciting project the class is trying! #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:39 PM EST

@jpetersen02 I don't even know if I notice the noise any more. I feel sorry for the teacher across the hall. :) #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:39 PM EST

.@Chris_Lee_TDSB @jpetersen02 We talk about the "Noise of Nonsense" vs the "Sound of Learning" #cdnedchat

ZeliaMCT Jan 18 @ 8:39 PM EST

A4: U can't tell where the "front" of the classroom is; Ss are engaged in various tasks;not necessarily all doing 'the same task' #cdnedchat

jprofNB Jan 18 @ 8:39 PM EST

A4: Learning centres, hustle & bustle, you can also usually feel the difference ! #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:39 PM EST

@misspollock Love this!! #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:40 PM EST

@ZeliaMCT Yes!! #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:40 PM EST

@Chris_Lee_TDSB When I listen, it's learny-noise, so it makes me happy #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:41 PM EST

A4: Talk with Ss about what a good learning space looks like, sounds like and feels like. #cdnedchat

ZeliaMCT Jan 18 @ 8:41 PM EST

@misspollock Yes! Ss need to be able to explain what & why they are doing whatever they may be doing & how they r going about it #cdnedchat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 18 @ 8:42 PM EST

A4: Ts are not the "sage on the stage." We are the "Guide by the side." Ss doing more of the talking than the Ts; looks dynamic. #cdnedchat

Roy_Norris Jan 18 @ 8:42 PM EST

For Learning Professionals, hearing the signal in the (classroom) noise is a skill that comes with time & experience. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:42 PM EST

Q5: How do you reconcile a year long student centred learning space with required standardized tests? #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:43 PM EST

.@Roy_Norris Welcome to #cdnedchat, thanks for joining us!

Roy_Norris Jan 18 @ 8:44 PM EST

@Chris_Lee_TDSB I like @shareski 's take: not sage, not guide, but "meddler in the middle" #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:45 PM EST

@misspollock I think it is important to be up front with you administrator and communicate your philosophy. #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:45 PM EST

@Chris_Lee_TDSB Hi Chris. #cdnedchat

Roy_Norris Jan 18 @ 8:45 PM EST

@misspollock Hi Shauna & thanks. Reporting from Winnipeg. I teach English @dciLRSD #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:45 PM EST

@Roy_Norris Great to have your input, Roy. #cdnedchat

spygirard Jan 18 @ 8:46 PM EST

A2. Allows students to see that we are human and that as an adult we are still learning & s's may b able to show us a thing or 2 #cdnedchat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 18 @ 8:47 PM EST

A5: S-centred still has teacher guide towards curriculum items; thus testing should be a non-issue. (easier said than done!) #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:47 PM EST

A5: Minimize the focus on standardized tests, & tests and marks of any kind. We collab to set ind goals and work towards those #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:47 PM EST

@jprofNB I also think the learning centres look more free. Students don't have a set of worksheets to complete. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:47 PM EST

Thanks for joining us tonight, Stéphanie! @spygirard #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:48 PM EST

@TheCandyDish I hate worksheets. They're too much work! #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:48 PM EST

@spygirard I have some great experts on hockey in my class. I do learn a lot from them. #cdnedchat

Roy_Norris Jan 18 @ 8:49 PM EST

A5 We used to call that space the library. #cdnedchat

jprofNB Jan 18 @ 8:49 PM EST

@TheCandyDish And if they need to record something, it's with technology ! #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:50 PM EST

A5: If my Ss HAVE to do a test, we talk about academic and emotional strategies to deal w test stress if it comes #cdnedchat

ZeliaMCT Jan 18 @ 8:51 PM EST

A5: Emphasis on buildn self-esteem; take on challenges regardless of format, setting,grp or independent;not overemphasis the test #cdnedchat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 18 @ 8:51 PM EST

A1: I feel that I'm on a sliding scale of all three... depends on my comfort level, I think! #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:51 PM EST

Q6:Share one tip you could give to an inexperienced student-led classroom teacher to begin to transform their classroom tomorrow? #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:51 PM EST

A5: We add an element of fun into every MUST DO - cookies and milk with a literacy test, a new fancy pencil for fill in bubbles #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:52 PM EST

A6: Set things up, then let go and see what happens. Learn from that, and move forward. #cdnedchat

spygirard Jan 18 @ 8:52 PM EST

A4. Students are engaged with each other, their works in progress are obvious, there's noise (=collaboration), T is in the mix #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:52 PM EST

A6: Literally sit on the same level as your kids and start a conversation about a dream classroom. #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:52 PM EST

A6: Start small but give them more control. Sometimes just sit back and watch how they interact with each other. #cdnedchat

Chris_Lee_TDSB Jan 18 @ 8:52 PM EST

A6: Work collaboratively with a colleague to #tryonething. Too many things at once = hard to reflect and tweek. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:53 PM EST

A6: Greet everyone of your students at the door tomorrow morning, show them you notice them with a happy greeting and big smile. #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:54 PM EST

@misspollock Every morning, we all go around and shake hands. Everyone greets everyone. #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:54 PM EST

@TheCandyDish That is so adorable! Are you teaching them nice, firm handshakes? #cdnedchat

jpetersen02 - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:55 PM EST

@TheCandyDish @misspollock "Good game. Good game. Good game." #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:55 PM EST

A6: Take the risk of asking your students to give feedback about your teaching. What works for them, what do they wish you'd do? #cdnedchat

TheCandyDish - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:55 PM EST

@misspollock Yes, firm handshakes and looking into each other's eyes. Also asking, "How are you?" "How was your weekend?" #cdnedchat

misspollock - Moderator Jan 18 @ 8:56 PM EST

@TheCandyDish So great! Love that! #cdnedchat

A6 @misspollock has it: teacher position and posture matters. Try to get elbow to elbow in the learning whenever you can.

@Chris_Lee_TDSB #tryonething Love it! #cdnedchat
