A1: Always taking time to reflect. Most times in the car going between appointments! So important #ATchat

@KelbRiechers Have heard nothing positive about any of those classes- hope yours is not a waste of time. #ATchat

@VickiBostonSLP @possbeth @adaptechcf @atmacjournal Great to see you all here tonight! #ATchat

spedville Feb 24 @ 8:12 PM EST

@KarenJan too much time reflec cuts into planning get stuck figuring out improvements instead of maybe slower prog w what i have #ATchat

rziolkowski Feb 24 @ 8:12 PM EST

#atchat A1: talking to other districts also seems like a way to reflect.

gallianstone Feb 24 @ 8:12 PM EST

@mmatp Why I make a careful distinction between reflecting on learning (constant) and reflecting on practice (deeper-less frequent) #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Feb 24 @ 8:12 PM EST

@AACreATively So true - I encourage reflections during PD - is what you doing reaching all learners? #ATchat https://t.co/hrFBnZ5KMb

AACreATively Feb 24 @ 8:12 PM EST

I agree! Most of my reflection occurs at these events. #ATchat https://t.co/rYDbIC9mIm

VickiBostonSLP Feb 24 @ 8:13 PM EST

A1: I try to take reflection time regularly but that's also part of why I like presenting- putting a talk together forces me to #ATchat

wernedat Feb 24 @ 8:13 PM EST

@possbeth agreed, actually #edcampsXs was the best reflection activity I've done in a long while.... #ATchat

bcdtech Feb 24 @ 8:13 PM EST

@gallianstone @mmatp Do you find that reflecting on practice is self-reflection or something you do with other professionals? #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Feb 24 @ 8:14 PM EST

@gallianstone yes so true. different types of reflection. I have been working hard on that deeper reflection on practice #ATchat

atmacjournal Feb 24 @ 8:14 PM EST

@gallianstone Sadly not so well - disability more severe now, which is part of why I haven't been around :/ #atchat

@gallianstone @mmatp Do you find that reflecting on practice is self-reflection or something you do with other professionals? #atchat

Q2: What does reflection look like? Do you reflect as a team or individually? #atchat

VickiBostonSLP Feb 24 @ 8:15 PM EST

@wernedat I loved #edcampxs for that. Have been trying to figure out how I can do something similar at my university. #ATchat

Hi all, Rhianon here from Boston. Glad to join today! #ATchat

gallianstone Feb 24 @ 8:16 PM EST

@bcdtech @mmatp usually self (often via blogging) partly b/c I'm isolated, -but do like conf/wkshops to reflect with others! #atchat

bcdtech Feb 24 @ 8:16 PM EST

@mmatp A2: I wish I were part of a team. I generally end up talking with the OT about what worked/didn't work/next steps #ATchat

spedville Feb 24 @ 8:16 PM EST

Q2 mostly individually. No AT Team in my district, have great collaborative SLP & OT but they are not very well versed in AT #ATchat

JudithSchoonov1 Feb 24 @ 8:16 PM EST

@possbeth Agreed. Got out my program this week & reviewed. Actually made classroom CORE book based on presentation I saw. #ATchat #ATIA16

KarenJan - Moderator Feb 24 @ 8:16 PM EST

@RhianonElan Welcome - great you can join us. #ATchat

MaegeK Feb 24 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2: I feel like I mostly reflect as an individual. I need time to reflect and improve my individual practice. #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Feb 24 @ 8:16 PM EST

@VickiBostonSLP @wernedat That's great news! You should do it for sure. Happy to help support you pulling it together #ATchat

gallianstone Feb 24 @ 8:16 PM EST

@atmacjournal I'm sorry to hear that. I miss your insights! Glad you made it, at least for a bit, tonight. #atchat

AACreATively Feb 24 @ 8:17 PM EST

I think that both are important. Sometimes it can be difficult to find a group of people to reflect with who can stay focused #atchat

RhianonElan Feb 24 @ 8:17 PM EST

A1: I'm not an AT professional but as a digital learning specialist, I reflect often on inclusive practices and ways to improve. #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Feb 24 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2 - As an AT Consultant, would love to reflect with teams but sadly mostly individually. #ATchat

LHPTech Feb 24 @ 8:17 PM EST

#ATchat Hi! AT in snowy Chicago. We have monthly AT unit meetings which give us a chance to reflect on practice & service delivery model.

tdcraw Feb 24 @ 8:17 PM EST

A1/A2 I'm always reflecting as indiv but want to work in more team efforts. #ATchat

mmatp - Moderator Feb 24 @ 8:18 PM EST

@rziolkowski agreed. you need both. as a consultant-it is sometimes tough to make those group connections for reflection #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Feb 24 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 - I try to put myself in situations where I can reflect with other like minded AT and education professionals #ATchat

possbeth Feb 24 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 we have been using a reflective coaching model at work, and I have been trying to support peer reflections with my staff #atchat

JudithSchoonov1 Feb 24 @ 8:18 PM EST

@KarenJan A1 almost daily in the shower or in the car. Reflection is the easy part. Taking action on it is more challenging! #ATchat

@spedville Same problem. Why chats like #atchat are so important to me. Where I can find folks who know what I'm talking about!

RhianonElan Feb 24 @ 8:18 PM EST

@AACreATively I feel the same way too sometimes #atchat

mmatp - Moderator Feb 24 @ 8:18 PM EST

@bcdtech my issue too. I come in and out of various teams and sometimes it is difficult to make deeper connections #ATchat

KarenJan - Moderator Feb 24 @ 8:18 PM EST

@mmatp But I would think that if you are in one school or district, it could be a lot more team based than my school is #ATchat

Making time for reflection is critical, but not always afforded. #ATchat Educators are crazy busy and the day flies fast!

atmacjournal Feb 24 @ 8:35 PM EST

@KarenJan Ask what they like/dislike about your approach? What they want you to do more/less? What they wish you understood/knew? #ATchat

I would think that Open eBooks has potential to complement Bookshare -another option to access digital text. #ATchat https://t.co/KS2rkEukbL

rziolkowski Feb 24 @ 8:30 PM EST

@ATDyslexia #atchat Will this replace bookshare?

possbeth Feb 24 @ 8:35 PM EST

@atmacjournal @gallianstone @AACreATively they should! We need to encourage metacognition and reflection in all students! #atchat

@atmacjournal @AACreATively It's my professional goal to involve Ss more in reflection/feedback. Lang complexity/comp makes it hard #atchat

Well you have got me reflecting on the fact that I need to think do this more @atmacjournal #atchat https://t.co/BNSqNYlJmR

atmacjournal Feb 24 @ 8:32 PM EST

@gallianstone @AACreATively I wonder do any of you ask your students things for reflection purposes? My therapists never ask me #ATChat

@atmacjournal @AACreATively I think that it's harder makes it more important - too easy to accidentally trample their will/opinion #atchat

Q5: Let’s talk about mentoring. What types of reflective questions can you ask other educators to foster personal reflection? #atchat

KarenJan - Moderator Feb 24 @ 8:40 PM EST

@atmacjournal I'm going to add some of these questions to my student interviews. #ATchat https://t.co/wPN5DA0f4k

@atmacjournal @AACreATively sad truth. Had a S today give me a clear yes/no 1st time ever. Don't think anyone ever asked her b4. #atchat

#atchat What is working that I should do more of? What should I stop doing? (this is the hardest question!)

Interesting conversation over on the #csk8 chat about CS and sped. Check it out when #atchat is done/

wernedat Feb 24 @ 8:50 PM EST

@KarenJan any chance you'd share your student interview questions-love to add some to our process but have no idea where to start. #ATchat

It baffles me when Ts don't care if Ss actually reach goals. I always target master in q3 generalize in q4. #atchat https://t.co/4XZDq0K5O5
