Great Point @TechieTeachOtt. Facilitate when needed, Question when necessary, Step Back and Watch the Magic for the rest #BmoreEdchat

That is why I try to remove myself as content deliverer as much as possible! It gives me time for my students and their needs! #BMoreEdChat

#BmoreEdchat Culture! Students, parents, colleagues, etc all expect something. Those who have mastered the game don't want to change it.

Q5 What do you need? What would help you make these #MasteryLearning dreams a reality? #BMoreEdChat

TechieTeachOtt Oct 11 @ 9:33 PM EDT

One of my favorite things is creating integrated units that merge content together in unique ways. It's like a puzzle for me :) #BMoreEdChat

In reply to @mrterborg, @Stella_Pollard

RaeHughart Oct 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

A Strong #PLN is essential. Other Ts motivate me on challenging days and always provide me new ideas to better my instruction #BmoreEdchat

TechieTeachOtt Oct 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

@justincholbrook has jokes! :) So witty. #BMoreEdChat

justincholbrook - Moderator Oct 11 @ 9:30 PM EDT

A4: Juggling various different things at one time for every single student. Takes a "master" teacher! See what I did there! #BMoreEdChat

mandymtaylor Oct 11 @ 9:34 PM EDT

In kindergarten, that b is also a d, a 9, a six, and invisible and justice for y'all. #BmoreEdchat

RaeHughart Oct 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT

Strong Mentors! Just like students - with support, anything is achievable. #ItTakesAVillage #BmoreEdchat

RaeHughart Oct 11 @ 9:35 PM EDT

A5 Time to plan. Mentors to help guide Ts. Freedom to adjust grading policies. A common vision of #MasteryLearning awesomeness! #BMoreEdChat

mrterborg Oct 11 @ 9:36 PM EDT

#BMoreEdChat We should talk. I have ideas.

In reply to @TechieTeachOtt, @Stella_Pollard

TechieTeachOtt Oct 11 @ 9:36 PM EDT

Depends on the Teacher. Just like we need 2 know our Ss, we need 2 know our coworkers. Try multiple approaches 2 see what works #Bmoreedchat

A5: So often, all teachers are waiting on is permission. I love being part of an admin team where “Yes” is the default setting #bmoreedchat

Absolutely. Listen, Communicate, Reflect, Communicate, Listen, Reflect (Repeat) #BmoreEdchat

This attitude from the administration trickles down not only to the teachers and the students but also the COMMUNITY! #BMoreEdChat

TechieTeachOtt Oct 11 @ 9:39 PM EDT

Can you spread some of that magic "Yes" to other admins? Any advice for Ts who aren't so lucky in the admin department? #bmoreedchat

Q6 Hesitations & worries are normal! Share your thoughts? What concerns do you have about using #MasteryLearning in your class? #BMoreEdChat

RaeHughart Oct 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Communication to Stakeholders. We must work with families. Anything we can do to include them in learning is ideal #BmoreEdchat

TechieTeachOtt Oct 11 @ 9:41 PM EDT

So many of them are very "textbooky" and dry. I'll do some digging and see what I can find. Or just write one myself. #BMoreedchat

A6: My concern comes from @jamessturtevant’s more recent podcast… How do introverts feel in my class? Is it too loud? #bmoreedchat

TechieTeachOtt Oct 11 @ 9:42 PM EDT

I love ideas. And collaboration. :) #bmoreedchat

In reply to @mrterborg, @Stella_Pollard

As an introvert myself, it takes a ton of energy to perform and speak daily as an educator. I love how you are mindful of this #BmoreEdchat

We need to challenge one another to be innovative, dynamic, & inspiring for our Ss. Mastery creates Mastery #BmoreEdchat

TechieTeachOtt Oct 11 @ 9:43 PM EDT

It can seem so foreign of an idea when trying to switch from traditional/everyone working at the same time. Training is vital! #bmoreedchat

In reply to @Stella_Pollard, @lynzhite

A6: The mixed level classroom is an incredible place (montessori bias) however that change in public ed would be massive #BmoreEdchat

TechieTeachOtt Oct 11 @ 9:44 PM EDT

I am also an introvert. I like to have some kind of escape space for Ss like me. A quiet corner or a spot in the hall. #bmoreedchat

hey Susan! No worries! Welcome to #BMoreEdChat

Have you read Quiet? It talks a lot about introverts (my daughter) in school. Fascinating since I'm a raging extrovert! #BmoreEdchat
