#ThePepperEffect is the companion slow chat to the book authored by Sean Gaillard. Readers share their learning from the book that serves as a platform celebrating the collaborative/creative legacy of The Beatles and its impact on the schoolhouse.
The music is cued and my fingers are limbered up for the upcoming #ThePepperEffect Chat in two minutes. Hope I can keep up. Guess what I am listening to right now? @participate
Isn’t it so amazing, Sean? I remember when you first shared it was a dream of yours to write a book! And, here you are! Couldn’t be happier for you, my friend! #ThePepperEffect

Hi everyone, I'm Noa, from Israel. Working for the EdTech Innovation Unit at the Ministry of Education (it's where the magic happens). The educators that truly inspire me are Israeli, so unfortunately not on twitter :-( #ThePepperEffect
Howdy bandmates! Ellen O'Neill, elementary principal from Long Island, NY, checking in. SO many #eduheros to list, but @smgaillard is top of my list! #ThePepperEffect
A1: Inspiring our students and colleagues to believe in their contributions starts with US Believing in them. When we genuinely convey that belief, they can take the plunge into the deep! #ThePepperEffect
A1: Always have a positive attitude, but don't be afraid to gently but directly share critical feedback. Explain how contributions can be enhanced, empower them with the authority to act and iterate, celebrate the process along with the outcome. #ThePepperEffect
A1 - Actually NOTICE what people do and tell them that you appreciate it and it DID make a difference. People need to feel like their contributions mean something and that further contributions will be just as awesome. #thepeppereffect
A1: My Ss really tapped into amplifying their voice after learning about student voice from @PCStuVoiceTeam. They realized that they have great ideas to share. My Ss educated our faculty, BoE, and PTSA about student voice. They earned a seat at the table. #thepeppereffect
A1: Always have a positive attitude, but don't be afraid to gently but directly share critical feedback. Explain how contributions can be enhanced, empower them with the authority to act and iterate, celebrate the process along with the outcome. #ThePepperEffect
A1: I try to always show students, genuinely, that I believe in THEM & hold them to high expectations. When they truly feel that I believe they are capable of ANYTHING... Then they begin to believe it themselves. #ThePepperEffect#TMgenius
A1: Making sure that people hear, with words and actions, that what they do matters and that they are a valuable contributor to the classroom and school. #ThePepperEffect
Hi, Paolo! Loved your sharing earlier of quotes and connections from the book. Dig any bassist out there, btw. Thanks for sharing and being here. Canada is in the house. Paging @MicheleMacumber! #ThePepperEffect

I do a little "George Martin" thing (Chapter 1, Side 2 of #ThePepperEffect) and I listen visibly, especially to students. They see it when I include their ideas into my lesson plans, assessments, classroom design, etc. They know that their voice, their opinion is valued.
My school is 60 plus years old the masterpiece is our proud history that has been built there we have multiple members of the same families attend our school and they trust our school it is a masterpiece #thepeppereffect
A2: A masterpiece is anything that you're proud of. Proud of yourself today? You're a masterpiece. Made an amazing google doc? It's a masterpiece. Kids did something they thought they couldn't? Masterpiece. Be proud of everything you accomplish. #thepeppereffect
A2: The White Album. There is nothing more inspiring (and sometimes terrifying) that a blank slate, screen or sheet of paper. It requires imagination, creativity and purpose. With a little guidance, in the case "The Beatles", beautiful moments can arise. #ThePepperEffect
A2: The masterpiece is made up by the unique beauty of its members. When we open up forms and spaces to showcase that beauty, the masterpiece can be appreciated. Student voice student empowerment can become the canvases for this masterpiece. #thepeppereffect
A2: It is the gold star standard and our collective vision and efforts will assist us in achieving our masterpiece! It’s the “you just wait” mentality! #ThePepperEffect
A2:I have seen a masterpiece in my school building! The community, the staff, the admin, and the students collectively created a new mission & vision. By allowing everyone to have a hand in its development, it created excitement, buy-in, and longevity.

A1: Kelly Barker, Vice Principal at Kokomo High School, passionately serve students with special needs and their families! Leading a new challenge of stem certification for one of our academies! A few of my inspirations are.@Kats_Principal@Wallace_SIA@swan_2323#thepeppereffect
A2. When I see schools empowering all students, not just the lucky few, to be engaged, global citizens, I think masterpiece.
#ThePepperEffect#TeachSDGs@RiseUp4SDGs
A masterpiece this past school year @asgeatrfk was a collaborative imovie project where students created PSA around climate change and protecting the environment #ThePepperEffect
A3: Ohh, good question. I have NO IDEA. Usually masterpieces are created by accident :) I hope to do something amazing, but it will probably happen in the moment #thepeppereffect
A2. When I see schools empowering all students, not just the lucky few, to be engaged, global citizens, I think masterpiece.

Look for tweets from @smgaillard. He'll post the questions in a Q1, Q2, and Q3 format. You'll answer with A1, A2, or A3 and end your tweet with the chat hashtag #thepeppereffect

A2: My principle managed to get funding for a "quiet room" - a really cool room with calming atmosphere. There's always a T there so when a S needs quiet time (whether they or the T decide) they can go hang out there. #ThePepperEffect
A3: My Sgt Pepper Plan is to redefine PD for staff and create personalized learning experiences to support Ts professional goals and their work with Ss. #ThePepperEffect
The White Album Effect there. They redefined music further in that abandonment and I love the connection to masterpiece. Tweet Genius. #ThePepperEffect
A3: We're going to continue the work we started with #PembertonInnovates, celebrating and sharing truly innovative learning with educators near and far. #ThePepperEffect
A3: My bold move is going to invite my new Ss into my band by hand delivering something to each of them before school starts. Pretty stoked about making them feel special. Oh and @smgaillard, I decided to do a Beatles inspired theme after reading #ThePepperEffect. ✌🏻
A3: My Sgt Pepper Plan is to redefine PD for staff and create personalized learning experiences to support Ts professional goals and their work with Ss. #ThePepperEffect
A3: I'm renaming and rebranding myself for sure, in a Sgt. Pepper moment sort of way. The tune is changing from first to 5th grade - from a huge district to a tiny one.The harmony will remain the same; I believe in these and kids and love them fiercely! #thepeppereffect
A3: My Sgt Pepper moment in my class and building will be to take relationship building to the next level. Lead by example and build a culture of kindness and individual value. Celebrate each other’s successes! #ThePepperEffect
A3: I’ll be in a new position (Instructional Facilitator!) so I’ll be working with teachers & students. I’m planning on using @achievethecore & @Seesaw as my bold move to shift lesson planning (vertical), create relevant learning experiences for students! #ThePepperEffect

I absolutely cannot wait to see what that looks like. Please keep me in the loop on that and maybe I can visit. I know that some members from @participate would love this, too! #ThePepperEffect
A3. #ThePepperEffect. At my school, I am leading a municipal vote replication (i.e. mirroring at school an actual municipal election in Toronto this Fall), where students from Grade 4-8 will learn about democracy, think globally, etc. My class will specifically create a website.
That's it for tonight! Thanks to all for participating and collaborating in tonight's chat. Our next and final chat for the book study will be Tuesday, July 31 at 8:00 p.m. ET. #ThePepperEffect@participate
