Hi, . Middle school parent from Connecticut. Good topic.
Q1 Why do some MS S's struggle so much in School?
Hi 7th grade Civics from Fl
Misty, MS Literacy Coach from VA here for
Dru from stepping up 2 the plate...a little tardy 2 the party--sorry about that!
Hello, Michele from NY. Former MS special educator, current elem spec ed teacher. Teach MS course at graduate level.
Hi Trudy checking in from Cobb County ga
A1: Many MS S's don't see a purpose for school or aren't connected/inspired by the curriculum (find it boring)
Q1 I think a lot of students do not see the relevance in what they are supposed to learn- how it applies to their lives
A1: content and experience are not truly engaging vs what is compliant
A1) MS students come with different supports, backgrounds, experiences, levels of maturity, lack of brain development in key areas
A1: MS Ss struggle because those middle yrs can be tough. Need to find relevance and connection in their learning.
Welcome! I am also a former Spec ed teacher! https://t.co/Y2A6FeztYD
Hello, Michele from NY. Former MS special educator, current elem spec ed teacher. Teach MS course at graduate level.
A1: MS Ss are hitting puberty and trying to figure everything out and school gets put on the back burner
Good Evening Dru- NO tardy to party ALL welcome for as long as you can attend
A1 MS students are "too cool" for school. They struggle because school is not their #1 priority.
Too often because it is boring:) https://t.co/9ce9oW75el
A1: Many MS S's don't see a purpose for school or aren't connected/inspired by the curriculum (find it boring)
A1 Some have even bigger problems than what comes with MS.
A1: MS students are more focused on Social Aspects of their lives: School is the social mixing bowl, Academics often come in 2nd/3rd
Katie, Title 1 teacher, Indiana. Running a bit late! Oops :)
I had a lack of confidence in MS too. Hard to know where you fit.
A1) Some lack the social and emotional skills needed to be successful academically
YES, and they are all about the now. Not really focused on their future.
A1 we need more of a Montessori structure to meet the different maturation rates of the students
exactly! They are figuring it out along the way.
A1: Relevance of learning coupled with lack of relationships; length of time at campuses can be a challenge too!
If Only!! Would love this. One room schoolhouse. https://t.co/fC8T4HSQVY
A1 we need more of a Montessori structure to meet the different maturation rates of the students
A1. YAs R in state of identity flux. Struggling w/ question: Who am I as a person/student/friend/child/future-adult and more?
A1: MS Ss struggle bc problems may develop in earlier years but pace widens the gap. By time they reach us, ss try to cover it up.
A1: Hard to have a lot of patience to sit in a class, especially at that age. Leads to the "Why should I care?" question.
lack of counselors ..smoetimes going from 1 class to 6 and not having organization habits.right of passage
I see this all the time. And covering instead of asking for help can cause more damage.
School need to be about NOW learning not about future but so often it is not!
True. & they see school as just another problem--instead of a place of caring & support. How 2 change that? https://t.co/b9Rge3cTrV
A1 Some have even bigger problems than what comes with MS.
Hard for them to sit in class all day no matter what how gr8 our lessons are! https://t.co/BGQVCeVX2k
A1: Hard to have a lot of patience to sit in a class, especially at that age. Leads to the "Why should I care?" question.
Q2 What do we do in the MS that hinders these S’s from growing up & out of their difficult situation?
Sadly true: Need to make school FUN but fun of some is not fun for all...
one style fits all.. time to rebrand ms and break norms
A1. I struggled in MS - 7th gr was horrible, 8th was amazing. Had to find my niche, my adult advocates (was a JH model) w/o guidance
A1) Could every lesson be geared toward solving a real world problem or scenario? Why not? Then we'd have relevance
Other than that it's a piece of cake. https://t.co/Du92IfO0GW
A1. YAs R in state of identity flux. Struggling w/ question: Who am I as a person/student/friend/child/future-adult and more?
A1: That's why as much as "engagement" is a buzzword it is also a reality and important.
Maybe the hardest transition in their school careers. https://t.co/XVfWfgZniV
lack of counselors ..smoetimes going from 1 class to 6 and not having organization habits.right of passage
BTW... Howdy all - Jay, proud principal at in NW Ohio. Happy to be here!
I did too: MS needs to be all about finding yourself so HS can be successful
yes! This is why we need to use movement whenever possible
i feel its a disconnect of the entire net system...losing that empathic cultural backgrund connection that Ss need in ms
Bingo! YAs are trying 2 achieve socially, Emo,behaviorally, morally, ethically & that all affects academics https://t.co/Mx6pyCUhul
A1) Some lack the social and emotional skills needed to be successful academically
A2:We dictate too much. Tell them what to do, when, how, why, to what extent, with whom. Not developing autonomy or responsibility.
A2: We tell them what to learn, when to learn, and how to do it! OH and we want them to be in a seat and quite
A1) A very different environment (with several new teachers) combined with different, older kids. Lots to adjust to, learning aside.
A2: Better engagement - all day long!
YES< we need to give students more problems to solve and less curriculum mandates
A2 we need to focus on teaching the whole child, not just our content/skills
A2 I think we give too much structure in our lessons- not enough room to learn to solve problems their own way
yes. Especially when parents letgo.need to re-ed parents..bring them back to ms.more community involvement
A2: Many Ss are so spoon fed they are not sure how to act as individual learners. Need to help facilitate how they learn best.
A2: We need to better incorporate their interests into the classroom so that they are more engaged and willing to learn
Can anyone be engaged all day long? I often struggle with being engaged
A2 if sometimes we struggle w/typical MS S's what about the ones w/ baggage?
A2: too often Ts are too restrictive and lack trust
A2) too much "sit and get." Not enough choice in their learning.
A2: if all Ts wants their class to be the quiet one - Ss might go days without talking let alone collaborating
I think we owe it to them to spark the fire in each class at least.
And help them grow as problem solvers not just memorizers! https://t.co/YDRww968sb
A2: Many Ss are so spoon fed they are not sure how to act as individual learners. Need to help facilitate how they learn best.
A2:We mistake compliance with competence.
so true! ..we need to get them confident in askingQs and taking risk
A2: TOO many mandatory learning requirement: Students do have time to explore on their own?
A2) Current standards promote a mile wide, inch deep approach to instruction.
A2: "Sit down." "Be quiet." "Pay attention." Rigid environment that hinders growth instead of instilling it.
A2. Apply 1 size fits all 4 all Ss. B satisfied w/ mediocre teaching & learning even when it's hurting Ss. https://t.co/tyKj09mI53
Q2 What do we do in the MS that hinders these S’s from growing up & out of their difficult situation?
A2: Instead of stifling the energy we need to channel it!
FOR sure every class should try to spark a fire but we need to give the fire O2 and allow time for a full burn
that is a huge problem, they can't make the connections
why we need to find out what they want to learn and involve them in current issues and lesson design
A2 We sometimes dismiss the tough ones. They're hard to reach, so they continue to struggle. Try anyway, they're worth it!!
Learning is sometimes very isolated. They can see connections
I almost typed that very word.
If it systemic than we need to ask ourselves
agreed! They need to explore. Dig in & let the learning take over.
A2. Connect with students individually - don't use labels, don't pre-determine their destiny.
I don't blame teachers. Often times, they aren't trusted, taught or encouraged to explore & give control. https://t.co/QnKesmiRvn
A2: too often Ts are too restrictive and lack trust
no less write all day. I teach sci &look to sync w/la teacher so more handson in sci and writing conect la
They are very worth it! https://t.co/VWAtf4G6fa
A2 We sometimes dismiss the tough ones. They're hard to reach, so they continue to struggle. Try anyway, they're worth it!!
A2: we mistake right answers for learning is instead of embracing the failures along the way as learning
I was just having this conversation with a teacher.
A2: we hear them, but don't listen.
both the standards and the approach are bad.
Q3 What are some things we do that help these S’s in our schools?
Can B piece of cake w/ many layers:sweet & unsweet, rich & bitter, palatable & irksome. But cake nonetheless https://t.co/jAmQ8i1Xqm
Other than that it's a piece of cake. https://t.co/Du92IfO0GW
A1. YAs R in state of identity flux. Struggling w/ question: Who am I as a person/student/friend/child/future-adult and more?
The ones who are the hardest to reach are the ones who need it the most!!!
That is what most of them are begging for, someone to listen to them https://t.co/jTxW2vsYRJ
A2: we hear them, but don't listen.
A2: we try to control Ss instead of empower.
i find there is a disconect in skill set. Tough ones tend to thrive w/anything handson and conversations .challenge.balance
MS "baby's" them. Give them the skills to succeed. Have HS Ts & Ss come in for "chats" on whats next in school
A3 Really listen to them and take the time to help them in a serious when they do open up to you
A3) Genius Hour; student reps on committees; give them a day and listen; surveys
A3: embrace a rich arts education as a part of STEAM
A3: listen to what they are saying and make sure that they know that they have a voice that is heard
A3) make them feel safe. Be someone they can trust
A3: 1:1 Conversations, student choice in learning, making a learning environment you would want to be in as a Ss.
we need greater support..more counselors or peer mediation group..a short am home room.
a3: Student choice, voice: Elective classes that are based on student interests
A3: Let Ss know we've got their back. Always. Trust is key.
A3: LISTEN to students for their needs!
A3 we have to care! Not just surface caring, we have to really care! They can sniff out fake in a second.
love arts!so much math..la.. sci!! Sync w/art teacher if posd
A3: Build that positive relationship. Ask them how they're doing, how their weekend went, or how their extracurricular event went
A2: Try using gamification to make it relevant and fun. But also prepare them for what they'll see in HS
A3: We need to show that we care about them outside the classroom.
A3: give Ss voice and choice in their learning, capitalize on authentic learning opportunities, listen, read for pure enjoyment...
Bravo! We need 2 have educator grit as well. We can't give up on challenging Ss. They R future leaders https://t.co/JuBco8iGDX
A2 We sometimes dismiss the tough ones. They're hard to reach, so they continue to struggle. Try anyway, they're worth it!!
Agreed. Greatest success this year. One on one daily conferences https://t.co/ExAd8o5eTm
A3: 1:1 Conversations, student choice in learning, making a learning environment you would want to be in as a Ss.
or just more electives!bring shop class and cooking back! Typing/codeing ..drama
A3. Interdisc teams give SS somewhere 2 'land', advisories for connections, SL conferences, value diff experiences (genius hr, etc.)
We have to begin to treat them like young adults as much as possible & respect their viewpoint. https://t.co/6mCh68Pi49
A3: listen to what they are saying and make sure that they know that they have a voice that is heard
A3: Connect. SEE them. Listen. Earn their trust. Show grace. Don't let their failures lessen how we see them.
A3: TIME we give students time to explore life, being their to answer questions in their learning
Actually, I've never had a bitter cake. Kids may go through a lot, but in the end they're pretty sweet. https://t.co/TgCPbcvdxg
Can B piece of cake w/ many layers:sweet & unsweet, rich & bitter, palatable & irksome. But cake nonetheless https://t.co/jAmQ8i1Xqm
Other than that it's a piece of cake. https://t.co/Du92IfO0GW
A1. YAs R in state of identity flux. Struggling w/ question: Who am I as a person/student/friend/child/future-adult and more?
YES https://t.co/StzxDxyCQH
A3 we have to care! Not just surface caring, we have to really care! They can sniff out fake in a second.
A3 Listen, earn trust, give respect, listen some more...
YES schools need tons of elective options for students: COULD be cool way to connect to community
i have ideas but so limited by infrastructure and admin. Thoughts?
yes!!! ! One of the best decisions we made, starting that w/ our sixth graders a3
meeting with core team tomorrow to discuss adding music composition to a team project! https://t.co/Cy1hNO9pJz
love arts!so much math..la.. sci!! Sync w/art teacher if posd
Yes! They have great "bull" detectors.
i leave my door open at lunch Ss say even if not in my room they know im near if needed
must use Ss ideas in actions
A3) You care. When you care, that's everything. https://t.co/we5zxPtErQ
Q3 What are some things we do that help these S’s in our schools?
A3: Going to students where they are: in the lunch room, at sporting events and to concerts really helps them connect to Ts
Reach around & through! Conversations about their life outside of school let's them know we care. https://t.co/EWrnKAkNDC
i have ideas but so limited by infrastructure and admin. Thoughts?
challenge them to take charge of learning..ask often. What did you learn? Not pts or grades
There is so much research on the positives of student based learning. Perhaps a honest convo with Admin is needed
Sounds Sith-like, Darth. Is supporting YAs social-Emo needs, ethical growth/behavior considered "babying"? https://t.co/AIFhjQtV1P
MS "baby's" them. Give them the skills to succeed. Have HS Ts & Ss come in for "chats" on whats next in school
A3: BUILD RELATIONSHIPS!! get to know Ss as whole people.
Yes! Because achieving (however you define that) is mistaken for learning. Kids should be always growing. https://t.co/lGaQTxg7Tq
A2: we mistake right answers for learning is instead of embracing the failures along the way as learning
Best relationships built at the lunch table and after basketball games.
check out my blogs. I write about what we are talking about. Lunch is their safe place too
Q4 What can we do to help the parents of these S’s help their S’s in our schools?
it does but we all dont have time. I use email..anonymous box.. i like/learn check ins. Surveys..
Time is a key player, yes ALL teachers can find different ways to connect:
Meet them at their level, if you can attend events in their neighborhood, be seen afterschool.
We could be rough with them but I'm not sure that would be conducive to the all important relationship. https://t.co/loD4nJJPAU
MS "baby's" them. Give them the skills to succeed. Have HS Ts & Ss come in for "chats" on whats next in school
A4: Reach out to them, keep them in the loop. an open line of communication is important but make sure it isn't only for bad things
A4: Communicate more. We let that drop off in ms.
Q4 communicate with parents before problems get out of hand- while there is still time to address them
A4welcome the parents to come attend classes so the parents can see what the expectations are
A4: Keep in communication w/ Ps. Let them know you're working together for best of their child. Use & invite them to class
a4) weekly newsletters..ask Ps for ways to help..invite in class..weekly Ps meeting w/Ss same time same location.
I always make sure my 1st communication w/ Parent is a positive one. They should be your partner.
A4: need to keep parents in the loop about what is happening with their students and work together to do what is best for the Ss
A4 call that parent on the first day & tell them how glad we are to have their gr8 kid in our school/class
A4: invite them to learn about your LMS so they can stay informed- "parents of 1-1 Ss" class
A4: be patient w/ their child's complete lack for organizational skills... And this too shall pass 😉
A4: have an open door policy and mean it... Invite parents IN the classroom to be a part of the community.
Positive relationship with the parent is so important!
look for growth in skills,community connection, empathy not success and top one another or pts
The HS kids have skills 2 come 2 MS & run chats bc of the foundation we helped instill during YA years https://t.co/AIFhjQtV1P
MS "baby's" them. Give them the skills to succeed. Have HS Ts & Ss come in for "chats" on whats next in school
A4: Depends. Of course connections early on help. Let parents know we are on the same team.
A4 Some parents need to expect less, learn what's going on in the mind of MS kids. They're still young and require guidance.
Q5 Are there some elective course’s we could or are offering that could assist these S’s that struggle?
A4: communicating proactively and effectively
achieving excellence in glorious mistake at a time is my motto
they need safe place to talk it out . show pos comunication.its about empowering them
we need to strengthen partnerships
A5 emotional intelligence, and study skills
I can get on board w/ that Darth. Must B balance in the Force or it risks being a farce in the name of rigor https://t.co/RrA0bepWhn
A2: Try using gamification to make it relevant and fun. But also prepare them for what they'll see in HS
I'm sorry, I love middle school teachers... We serve, love, and support kids at a tough age, but man do middle schoolers rock!
A5: This would be great question to pose to Ss. What interests you? What do you want to learn more about? What are your strengths?
expect dif and talk to kids often and do activities w/kids. Balance
A5) elective class: "How to Survive Middle School Like a Boss"
"one" glorious mistake? That's awesome!
A5: Coding, Makers Lab, Sewing etc
and there needs to be trust built on all ends
A5 We have a social skills class at our school. We have to teach them how to act and react.
start before school starts
A5 I would love to teach a class that analyzed recent movies similar to a lit class- think MS kids would dig that
you mean like, thinking they're done with elementary school, they're on their own?
A5: Why don't schools ask Ss what class they want? Go right to them!
Perhaps the bitter cake comes when a YA is promised a rich learning experience but they get same ol same ol https://t.co/pwITLRBgv4
Actually, I've never had a bitter cake. Kids may go through a lot, but in the end they're pretty sweet. https://t.co/TgCPbcvdxg
Can B piece of cake w/ many layers:sweet & unsweet, rich & bitter, palatable & irksome. But cake nonetheless https://t.co/jAmQ8i1Xqm
Other than that it's a piece of cake. https://t.co/Du92IfO0GW
A1. YAs R in state of identity flux. Struggling w/ question: Who am I as a person/student/friend/child/future-adult and more?
yes! They'd certainly have great ideas!
We are planning to let our S's decide what we do in our advisory course next year. https://t.co/pzdY7wsa8j
A5: Why don't schools ask Ss what class they want? Go right to them!
weekly meeting? What does that entail?
A5: we need to keep electives an integral part of the school day with more time slots
Boy how times flies when your having fun! Q6 on the way!
More than 40% of teachers hesitant to teach abt election this year b/c of Trump. Ss of color scared. https://t.co/zZllkHXtPG
A4. Listen 2 their concerns & provide accurate, empowering info. Involve & inform. Engage & enrich https://t.co/DsORFrfvhy
Q4 What can we do to help the parents of these S’s help their S’s in our schools?
We've done this and you would be surprised! Good stuff!!!
how to get admin on board and change rigid infrastructure?
Love that a former Ss like a tweet where I mention how awesome middle schoolers are! , you were one of the MOST awesome 😀
Q6 What can admin’s do better or different that could help these S’s?
Even a recess free/outside time would help MS kids. An unconfined space time to release
this is a great opportunity to make them feel as valuable members of community
sorry for tuning in late, bedtime'ing here in ohio - michael from columbus, oh - middle school teacher
agreed!!! Our school has none except the regular arts/ fitness classes our Ss are used to from elementary school
go farther..get in the moment..Ss have a disagreement in class or lunch ..have safe place w/meiator to wo in miment
A6: Admin should have honest conversations with Ss about their learning and get back in the class once in a while.
A4)Communicate early and often. Use social media whether they're on or not. Parents will come. Lead the way. https://t.co/3nuz6Amujk
Q4 What can we do to help the parents of these S’s help their S’s in our schools?
True! & make P's reflect/remember their own YA self in terms of organization, time management, humor, dress https://t.co/SeZg9nUKAQ
A4: be patient w/ their child's complete lack for organizational skills... And this too shall pass 😉
A5: Our school is piloting passion projects -letting kids follow their passion 20 minutes a day. https://t.co/fP99jVMonW
A6 admins can help by building relationships with the students
A5: I get 2 teach elective 4 struggling Ss where we review "power standards" in weird active & social ways. Safe place.
A6 It takes time but I try to talk through issues w/ troubled S's instead of the rush in rush out technique.
A5. Conflict resolution was an exploratory class that we ran & it was priceless. helped Ss work out issues. https://t.co/CYJpGUA9gx
Q5 Are there some elective course’s we could or are offering that could assist these S’s that struggle?
A6: make their office a place to feel cared for and supported... Not just about getting in trouble
A6) be in the classrooms and support the positive
A6: visit classrooms often and sit WITH Ss, learn WITH Ss
Good way to sell such a class!
https://t.co/VNezeKJLwu
A5: I get 2 teach elective 4 struggling Ss where we review "power standards" in weird active & social ways. Safe place.
A6 Never takes sides in conflicts between students; be present more often, not just stepping in after things melt down
ah, right... the cake was the experience, not the kids.
Thanks for the mention! JeremyDBond: SamuelFritz runnerteacher CGMSCBands "one" glorious mistake? That's awesome!
Thanks for the mention! SamuelFritz: runnerteacher JeremyDBond achieving excellence in glorious mistake at a time is my CGMSCBands …
Q7 How do we have empathy w/out creating apathy for this population?
A5: I get offer RTI band for one semester based on 6th grade band ECA
A6:Willing to schedule creatively. Healthy mindset about testing and scores.
A7: Modeling and sharing of stories are ways to promote empathy with out apathy
A6: Admins should (mine does!) check in with Ss, eat lunch with them, greet them in hallways...
A6 Reflective discipline, not punitive. Admin needs to support tchrs that "get" how these kids tick & ask "how can I help you/them?"
so agree! Change infrastructure longer lunch with more explore activities
Get This We Believe & 16 Characteristics in their hands now! All school leaders need 2 know the why https://t.co/4rEUfV82sn
how to get admin on board and change rigid infrastructure?
A7 very important not to dismiss accountability because they have a rough situation.
A7 having high expectations but supporting them, but letting them know we believe in them
A7: We need to understand our MS S perspective while still holding them to a high standard
And stay away from dealing with symptoms! Dig in and find the problem. https://t.co/j1fl9z3kRE
A6 Reflective discipline, not punitive. Admin needs to support tchrs that "get" how these kids tick & ask "how can I help you/them?"
A7: service to school, community, world and use project/problem based learning
A7: Connect with them personally and hold them to high expectations
admins can take risks..change infrastructure..try something Ss recommend..colaborate w/ teachers & Ss b4 make decision
A7: seriously, remember who we were at their age.
A7: Continue to challenge Ss while supporting them as they grow. Let them know you are there for them.
A7: Be kind. Be supportive. But keep those high expectations!
We can be consistent and have high standards yet be nice and supportive! https://t.co/EHyp4vTDfK
A7: Be kind. Be supportive. But keep those high expectations!
A7. Tending 2 the flocks' needs doesn't create weakness in the sheep. Builds trust & community https://t.co/vDi8ObMVcJ
Q7 How do we have empathy w/out creating apathy for this population?
Q8 Does accountability look different for this group of S’s?
yes. What is it the parents have to learn, tho? Where does the misalignment happen that causes parents to be less engaged?
A7: Always remember: They're kids. They want attention. They just need to learn how to get it positively and respectfully.
A7: Understand, yes. Crutch, no.
use empathy to research & make changes not just to be ok Empathy not excuse but knwldg for a more informed decision
A8 Accountability is critical, but I think there is more room for forgiveness as well given the nature of this age group
We have to make sure it's not because we are not welcoming the P's into the conversation https://t.co/vBkF5cGtpo
yes. What is it the parents have to learn, tho? Where does the misalignment happen that causes parents to be less engaged?
A8: It should not look much different. Ts cannot enable.
A8: Accountability looks different for every student. It is critical to hold students to a standard but it can be different
a8: it is a delicate artwork between accountability, relationship, and trust. you have to balance all of them
I work EXTREMELY hard to get my Ss to take responsibility for their actions and hold themselves accountable https://t.co/vPE6zLoPuQ
Q8 Does accountability look different for this group of S’s?
Accountability can be present, consistent and reasonable all at the same time! https://t.co/YtspIfFnlZ
A8 Accountability is critical, but I think there is more room for forgiveness as well given the nature of this age group
Yes. Forgiveness teaches them so much.
they are tired 2 jobs.. beyond their own knwldg lvl..not invited..not understanding culture &their contibution
True teachers shouldn't enable but we can have different sets of standards if needed
A8: Every Ss should be accountable for growth but growth will be different for each Ss.
nope! Not allowed! Hehe jk!! My first !
Sorry I was late. Bed and bath time are at 8, so I'm jumping in. Ryan, Flint, MI. MS Social Studies.
A7) Make them feel part of something bigger. (Shameless plug. That's my 6th grader on the lower right): https://t.co/gFdN9SCNrp
A7) Make them feel part of something bigger. (Shameless plug. That's my 6th grader on the lower right): https://t.co/nj6FHaha9u
Maybe some people want to stay over from and join
accountability with option..accountability with action and then return.. accountability with goal set
What of the S that is in the office every period in beginning? Just 3 times a day is success for that kid. https://t.co/NSIeU7U06E
A8: It should not look much different. Ts cannot enable.
Q8 really makes me think. I'm enjoying reading the responses.
A8: every age group has its strengths and challenges so I don't necessarily think accountability would look "different"
A8: No. Accountability is ensuring Ss learn. We must shoulder most of the work to get them to know how to work around circumstance.
