A 1 willingness to let go. Be ok with scary and different to encourage a student leader to take a risk #wvedchat

#wvedchat A1 Ss can't experience autonomy & ownership in their learning experience without FEEDBACK.

A 2 create a classroom where respect of self and others is the most important theme. #wvedchat

joerobison907 Mar 21 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2. put Ss in a position to succeed using their strengths- when they can choose how to show learning, they will model it #wvedchat

PennyRayhill Mar 21 @ 8:17 PM EDT

A2: Like @stowers_melissa said our school has a focus on the 7 habits. It is a culture in our building so leadership is the norm. #wvedchat

In reply to @stowers_melissa

stowers_melissa Mar 21 @ 8:17 PM EDT

usually when they see each other doing the right thing they often follow suit #wvedchat

angie_milliman Mar 21 @ 8:18 PM EDT

A 2 model appreciation for the silences ... encourage that quiet and all the brilliance that can come from it. #wvedchat

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:18 PM EDT

#wvedchat A2: I treat students with respect & dignity 10 days out of 10. I have high expectations for students & myself.

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:19 PM EDT

#wvedchat A2: I focus on prevntn rather than punishmnt. Prevention encourages &promotes positive behaviors. Punishment promotes resentment.

jodiepierpoint Mar 21 @ 8:19 PM EDT

A2: Praise those who are leading & others will follow. Encourage everyone to be/do their best every day! 🌟#wvedchat

A2: I have written notes to the student. The s leads more because they know they did a great job, and they do not get embarrassed. #wvedchat

#wvedchat This is a great place for great minds! It's why I keep coming back :)

In reply to @pcmrsg

cnicolemorris Mar 21 @ 8:20 PM EDT

My A1 may have been more appropriate for A2. But, we stress the "team," and it makes an positive impact when they follow through #wvedchat

AmberoniNCheese Mar 21 @ 8:20 PM EDT

A2: It's all about the culture. When it is expected of all students and staff in the school, it will just be. #wvedchat

jodiepierpoint Mar 21 @ 8:21 PM EDT

Huge Josh!! Positive notes 📝 make a huge impact!! #wvedchat

A 3 the journey is the learning. Creativity and sharing will lead to learning. Competition kills collaboration #wvedchat

Anyone wanting to travel to Yorktown, VA this weekend there's an edcamp there :) Plus all of the history :) #wvedchat

JoshSektnan Mar 21 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3: This is where differentiated instruction comes into play. Same concept but different expectations/activities for each student. #wvedchat

joerobison907 Mar 21 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3. Because the smartest person in the room, is the room-- remind both students and teachers of the truth in that #wvedchat

stowers_melissa Mar 21 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3 competition causes friction and a power struggle; collaboration has them pool their thoughts together #wvedchat

tisinaction - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3: Competition breaks collaborative groups and can lead to shoddy work. Competition also outshines goals/learning objectives #wvedchat

angie_milliman Mar 21 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A 3 too competitive can shut down those kiddos or Ts that are first time chance takers.. #wvedchat

AmberoniNCheese Mar 21 @ 8:25 PM EDT

A3: Don't create a pecking order in your classroom. Celebrate successes for all. It takes the smallest thing to shut Ss down #wvedchat

angie_milliman Mar 21 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A3 I'm always wary of damaging that productive collaboration and team attitude #wvedchat

TheMrDevizzle Mar 21 @ 8:27 PM EDT

A3: Selfish team mates play for the ME when the team is about the WE. Kids play sports for the team so make the classroom a team! #wvedchat

jenn_mccall3 Mar 21 @ 8:27 PM EDT

It's all about building a culture of mutual respect. Ss must know that learning is priority 1, not who lrns fastest #wvedchat

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:27 PM EDT

#wvedchat A3 Digital practice in my class always created a natural #gamified culture. "I passed that level, let me show you how."

stowers_melissa Mar 21 @ 8:27 PM EDT

collaboration can sometime bring a leader out of hiding #wvedchat

joerobison907 Mar 21 @ 8:27 PM EDT

agreed- the smallest successes can have the biggest impact #wvedchat

In reply to @AmberoniNCheese

jodiepierpoint Mar 21 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3: Competition scares me. We need to differentiate w/in classrooms so all students feel successful. Mix groups! #wvedchat

PennyRayhill Mar 21 @ 8:28 PM EDT

A3: Again, one of the 7 Habits, Think Win Win. The kids know they need to work together to reach their goals. #wvedchat

cnicolemorris Mar 21 @ 8:29 PM EDT

A3: my class is a little diff than the avg class, but comp kills drive to take risks, w/ sp.ed, every academic task is a risk #wvedchat

joerobison907 Mar 21 @ 8:29 PM EDT

allow students to show understanding in ways that plays to their strengths-- iMovie, poster, blog, etc.. #wvedchat

#wvedchat A4: My class was a lot like Track&Field. Sure there's comp, but much more so w/urself. Know target, pursuit is to HIT the target.

TheMrDevizzle Mar 21 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Ss created replica "inventions that changed the world" during PBL at Dunbar Intermediate School during maker space time. #wvedchat

A4. compete against the "real world"- Ss have to identify a problem they can solve with new knowledge- then design a solution #wvedchat

stowers_melissa Mar 21 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Q4 PBLs we did 1 that put the Ss in groups to test different materials and designs of dams; we then tested what they made #wvedchat

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:39 PM EDT

#wvedchat A4 Talk to ur Ss about discipline vs default, intention vs impulse. Competition is a better version of yourself.

Along with competition against yourself...... :0) #wvedchat

stowers_melissa Mar 21 @ 8:44 PM EDT

it is mine and my Ss favorite they are sad on early dismissal days. #wvedchat

A4 - expand the scope of competition - make it between your class (as the team) vs. a big problem https://t.co/cUUgUGMQXo #wvedchat

cnicolemorris Mar 21 @ 8:44 PM EDT

Exactly! The rules of the game are that much more important in our situations. #wvedchat

A5 that's one of the most difficult. They always want to know if it's for a grade. #wvedchat

TheMrDevizzle Mar 21 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A5 Growth mindset over fixed. Be process oriented and not result oriented. Put happiness before work. Don't work for happiness #wvedchat

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:45 PM EDT

Not late, door is always open! #wvedchat Glad you're here Tim!

A5: Learning and life go together. Learn from your mistakes and always look to improve. We are all life-long learners. #wvedchat

You're welcome any time! #wvedchat

A5: If we use formative assessments/feedback throughout, Ss grow through the process & it's not an end result #wvedchat

SoperWritings Mar 21 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5 - create rubrics that include measures for effort in comparable proportion to content and skills #wvedchat

angie_milliman Mar 21 @ 8:46 PM EDT

Have a kiddo to get to bed! Awesome chat so far will catch up later! #wvedchat

stowers_melissa Mar 21 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5 choice time menus are my fave; Ss get to choose what to work on and when that a way they take pride in their work #wvedchat

tisinaction - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5: Stop focusing on the state tests as end goal, SOLs in my case. Grades only get you so far. True feedback pushes you beyond #wvedchat

joerobison907 Mar 21 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A5. Students have to know the "why"- Ts job is no longer 2 provide content, but teach how 2 use knowledge--this changes everything #wvedchat

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:47 PM EDT

#wvedchat A5: Where is YOUR focus? If it's on completn, compliance, participation, grades, behavrs, than ur Ss wn't b focused on improvmnt.

TWhite25177 Mar 21 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A5: Be sure all learning is focused on a bigger picture, not just on the task at hand. Life is ever evolving so must learning. #wvedchat

PennyRayhill Mar 21 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A6: Give Ss a chance to make changes if they would like to improve what they have done. #wvedchat

stowers_melissa Mar 21 @ 8:47 PM EDT

I don’t grade the menu work but I do see it on #seesaw and make comments if they rushed through it I have them redo it #wvedchat

KamiSchools Mar 21 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A5: So tough because of the value P, colleges, states etc put in grades alone. I think change needs to start with entire schools #wvedchat

jenn_mccall3 Mar 21 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A5: Give feedback in place of grades, allow opportunities for re-learning, make learning relevant to Ss #wvedchat

cnicolemorris Mar 21 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A5: My situation might give me an advantage, but I never put grades on anything & we've gone more digital, editing is super easy! #wvedchat

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:48 PM EDT

#wvedchat We've got to question how we r delivering cntnt. If best thing u did today was deliver contnt, Google & Youtube are ur biggst enmy

joerobison907 Mar 21 @ 8:48 PM EDT

great points #wvedchat

In reply to @KamiSchools

AmberoniNCheese Mar 21 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A5: Design learning tasks to let Ss collaborate, communicate, create, and use critical thinking to revise instead of other options #wvedchat

stowers_melissa Mar 21 @ 8:48 PM EDT

not always the schedule is tweaked and 1 grade level misses.Not enough hrs in the day #wvedchat

A5 I don't use traditional grading. I only use rubrics. It has allowed me to completely change the atmosphere in my classes. #wvedchat

joerobison907 Mar 21 @ 8:50 PM EDT

this is awesome! well done by you-- we need much more of this mindset! #wvedchat

PennyRayhill Mar 21 @ 8:50 PM EDT

K & 1 for 30 mins 2nd for 40 mins because they use @Seesaw for reflection Last semester we had grades 3-5 for 40 mins #wvedchat

In reply to @JoshSektnan, @Seesaw

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:50 PM EDT

#wvedchat A5: B sure marks u input n gradebook are aligned to clear lrng targets. Value lrng timelines, value multple opps to demo evidnce.

TheMrDevizzle Mar 21 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A5 might be off topic but a great video I took something from. Sort of negative toward edu but still great https://t.co/LaNjt1k6uP #wvedchat

TWhite25177 Mar 21 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A5:Be sure the doing shows you what you want to see. See learning & grasping of standards, not the answer "C". Performance Based #wvedchat

Last Q in one minute! (Wow, time has flown.) #wvedchat

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:52 PM EDT

#wvedchat A5 Culture-building bill of assessment rights.

MissMillerAP Mar 21 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Q6: How can you enlist the services of your students to provide meaningful, constructive feedback? #wvedchat

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:53 PM EDT

Yo someone from #kcslearning2020 Id like to "see" what u guys did this yr n relation to power standrds. @TWhite25177 @lilsparky98 #wvedchat

In reply to @TWhite25177, @lilsparky98

jodiepierpoint Mar 21 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A6: Students give the most genuine feedback- give them the freedom & platform to share. We truly learn from them! #wvedchat

AmberoniNCheese Mar 21 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A6: Lead Ss through reflection. Practice giving stars (celebrations) and stairs (steps Ss can take to make things better) #wvedchat

tisinaction - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A6: I ask Ts to complete feedback surveys. If I have new ideas, I ask for T feedback, Qs, thoughts, ideas, & review work w/ them #wvedchat

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:55 PM EDT

#wvedchat A6: If anyone is bored, check Hattie's meta-research on effect sizes. Student self assessment is high!

JoshSektnan Mar 21 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A6: I randomly read completed essays aloud and had the students rank them from 1 to 5, then had the students give honest feedback. #wvedchat

stowers_melissa Mar 21 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A6 ask them how they felt or what they think went right or wrong during a lesson; have them write in a journal; draw a pic #wvedchat

KamiSchools Mar 21 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A6: Tech has some great tools for this, e.g. Google Forms represents S data beautifully #wvedchat

TheMrDevizzle Mar 21 @ 8:56 PM EDT

A6 Let them give you feedback first. Then give another student. Then reflect on students feedback of them. Then repeat! Build it! #wvedchat

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:56 PM EDT

#wvedchat A6: I really liked the practice of allwng Ss to establish tolerances for mastery. What does it look like? Not look like?

TWhite25177 Mar 21 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A6:Give Ss the power to assess their own work, and then other Ss work with Rubrics. Teach constructive vocab to Ss. Not Ltr Grds #wvedchat

pcmrsg Mar 21 @ 8:57 PM EDT

A6 The students are definitely honest, when it comes to feedback. #wvedchat

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:57 PM EDT

#wvedchat A6 Such a thoughtful question...I'm still stirring!

jenn_mccall3 Mar 21 @ 8:57 PM EDT

Q6: Teach Ss language of feedback: avoid "you did this wrong" or "good job" but use language in targets #wvedchat

JoshSektnan Mar 21 @ 8:58 PM EDT

Thank you for the great chat @MissMillerAP! #wvedchat

In reply to @MissMillerAP

Mr_Oldfield - Moderator Mar 21 @ 8:58 PM EDT

Oooh this is good! #wvedchat If Ss can't do it to their own work, prob can't do to others' work. Align the language, I like!

In reply to @jenn_mccall3

stowers_melissa Mar 21 @ 8:58 PM EDT

have them record their thoughts on an app if writing is too much or they can annotate their picture so u know what they drew #wvedchat

MissMillerAP Mar 21 @ 8:59 PM EDT

Thanks everyone for chatting tonight! Hope the rest of your week is awesome like you! #wvedchat

PennyRayhill Mar 21 @ 8:59 PM EDT
