Interested in student-driven classrooms? Join Dr. Nancy Sulla @nsulla (author of Students Taking Charge, Its Not What You Teach But How, Building Executive Function: The Missing Link to Student Achievement, and more) and educators from all over in #LATICchat on Thursday nights at 8pm ET. We hope to bring together a community of educators to share insights, stories, examples, pictures from their classrooms, and more. We welcome all educators to join; no need to be running a #LATIC classroom.
A1) How about putting creativity to work in redesigning the classroom, generating ideas for improving the learning environment, generating ideas for helping others to learn, problem-finding and solving #LATICchat
A2 Activities and learning that meets and exceeds learning standards. The curriculum grows because S's reach beyond the known and possible for the unknown and what is thought impossible. #LATICchat
A3) How about having students take several skills or concepts they learned and then asking them how they could use all of these together to solve a problem or create something original? #LATICchat
A3 Connect Learning Standards to Activities and that allows for S's to connect to Curriculum and Standards. S's then dream, design, create, explore, innovate and change the world around them on a local, state, national or global level. #LATICchat
A4) Let's see ... what about picking a standard and telling students to daydream about it? See what they come up with? Might be how to apply it ... might be creating new knowledge ... you never know 'til you try! #LATICchat
A4 Standards aren't ceilings or limits they are more like street lights pointing the way forward for S's to utilize tools like daydreaming, doodling, Big Pics, color outside the lines to achieve success. ALU's free the S's from the confines that restrict those skills. #LATICchat
A5 we have the Pentagon as an example: S's design, measure and build a scale model of a building based on hexagon, heptagon or octagon for public use. Designs must have dimensions and measured angles noted. STEM at work #LATICchat

A7 If problems create possibilities in a LATIC than standards demonstrate what has been done before and where S's may explore in the future. Reach Beyond #LATICchat
CA) I am wiring an ALU around social standards about Exlporation and colonialism. The title is āModern Day Frontiersā how can we explore the Oceans And Space with the exploitation of people and land that occurred in the past.#LATICChat
CA In SS S's could create election reform to reflect the size, desires, and needs of our Nation as it has changed since the Founding Fathers first laid it out in the Constitution. Forward designs to U.S. Senators and NY Senators #LATICchat
Thanks for the inspiration tonight! Loved chatting with you. Next week's #LATICchat ... #designthinking ... see you at 8pm ET next Thursday night ... 'til then ... have an awesome week and #ChangeTheWorld#LATIC
