Hello all! Jodi from Atlanta
A1 Compliancy has been the way of teaching and learning for too long-hard to break habits.
A1: Maybe we have created school cultures that supports compliancy over innovation. What is your insight?
Hi so glad you can join us even for a little bit around convos on ownership in https://t.co/jjvb6IkHV7
Hi Renee White from NC checking in for a bit.
A1: I think bc it's viewed as "easier" & faster. Less work less effort to get prep for overall compliance.
A1 Teachers find compliancy easy...it looks like learning and gets them through evaluations.
Yeah! so glad you are here. Still have to send you the picture of us from https://t.co/DkIQN0Jh9b
Greetings from Boise! Looking forward to another awesome !
A1: Also because many people are afraid of innovation & failure.
Many teachers that do not grow with PD really do not know better. Compliance looks like learning to many. https://t.co/Q4RWoE7iL5
A1: I think bc it's viewed as "easier" & faster. Less work less effort to get prep for overall compliance.
A1: systems still stuck in that mindset due to tradition, lack of taking risks,& not educating public enough
I hope we can change that so people are encouraged to take risks & own learning https://t.co/jcMmik9xfD
A1: Also because many people are afraid of innovation & failure.
A1 Yes ma'am, no ma'am is the expectation w/ Ts as the holders of answers. New Ts grew up in NCLB/bubble era.
Very hard esp in times of standardized testing & overpacked curriculum https://t.co/mXqu7afOIn
A1 Compliancy has been the way of teaching and learning for too long-hard to break habits.
A1 Some admin. prefer compliance because they feel it is organized and easier to understand. Ignorance is NOT bliss.
A1: Fear. Who is going to take the 1st step. What if they fail? What if someone complains? What if....
A1: It's engraved in our collective minds! We've had done/seen it for too long! Considering teaching job is modeled the most.
Agreed! The better PD the less compliance. https://t.co/mLL90Uft3m
Many teachers that do not grow with PD really do not know better. Compliance looks like learning to many. https://t.co/Q4RWoE7iL5
A1: I think bc it's viewed as "easier" & faster. Less work less effort to get prep for overall compliance.
For many...moving beyond compliance is moving outside the land of comfort. https://t.co/te4Q34GxmN
A1: Fear. Who is going to take the 1st step. What if they fail? What if someone complains? What if....
Carol from Virginia Beach, 5th grade.
A1 with compliance we know how and what to grade. Innovation is risky, how do you report to the stakeholders?
A1: many do not adopt new research or new way of doing things b/c its perceived as challenging
Twitter has been a HUGE eye opener w this for me the past year!
When a teacher feels that they are doing their job by complying, it is compliance that they look for... https://t.co/klYdA73vTH
A1: It's engraved in our collective minds! We've had done/seen it for too long! Considering teaching job is modeled the most.

Those crazy whatifs.. Ts were given time, freedom to take risks, be okay with failure, create.. https://t.co/YvQ8p7G1jT
A1: Fear. Who is going to take the 1st step. What if they fail? What if someone complains? What if....
Compliance is easy. It doesn't involve risk. Innovation can't survive without some freedom to grow! https://t.co/NJPgnZICk6
A1: Honestly, the tech advances are making it impossible NOT to move beyond compliance. We would be holding kids back!
So it's time to open doors.. bring in ideas & try design thinking new ideas/strategies.. let's do it https://t.co/K5Qk1YiKZO
A1 Some admin. prefer compliance because they feel it is organized and easier to understand. Ignorance is NOT bliss.
A1: It's much easier to be sage on stage when everyone is compliant. In S-oriented classroom, that's #1 thing easy to let go!
Yes! That's the beauty of it! Movement yields growth. You need to move or someone will move you out. 😉 https://t.co/FaCkCE1G61
For many...moving beyond compliance is moving outside the land of comfort. https://t.co/te4Q34GxmN
A1: Fear. Who is going to take the 1st step. What if they fail? What if someone complains? What if....
hope to change that mindset w/ teacher candidates!
Get ready to discuss voice & choice in Q2 coming up.
A1: Ts are also hesitant to let go of that control; Ss can take control of learning if conditions are present.
A2 If a teacher doesn't give students voice and choice, they don't give them the responsibility of learning.
Yea! This is a big one! can be scary to some. https://t.co/z7tmj7z2D4
A1: Ts are also hesitant to let go of that control; Ss can take control of learning if conditions are present.
A2 If students are only audience, they have little purpose to learn...let alone own the learning.
Voice and Choice are essential to the ownership of learning!
A2) transformation from student to learner
A2: if no voice/choice, Ss will not be engaged. Ss need freedom to explore passions in a semi-structured environment
True. But Innovative leaders can propel districts forward offering permission to take risks. https://t.co/m0lhkCf74y
A1 Some admin. prefer compliance because they feel it is organized and easier to understand. Ignorance is NOT bliss.
A2 Part of being a learner is being a teacher or SELF and others. Voice and choice promotes being the teacher.
A2: What Does It Look Like: Student Ownership, Voice and Choice in a Competency-Based School https://t.co/JkzADpOJ8w
A2: Student voice & choice in learning is huge for ownership.It's their learning, their ideas.It's motivational & inspirational.
A2 when we model v&c for T in PL, they can implement it w/ their Ss
A2 gives the learner responsibility for their learning! WOW
Very often, it is the learned teachers that have to bring the admin. to the pond to drink. That's cool.. https://t.co/aPtTOBIONe
True. But Innovative leaders can propel districts forward offering permission to take risks. https://t.co/m0lhkCf74y
A1 Some admin. prefer compliance because they feel it is organized and easier to understand. Ignorance is NOT bliss.
A2: Independent and THINKING learners! Responsible for their learning, making decisions, practicing critical thinking.
A2: Ss need to learn to develop various skills; won't happen in a compliant, do as I say environment.

A2: Independent and THINKING learners! Responsible for their learning, making decisions, practicing critical thinking.
some do but many admin are pinned by a bureaucracy that over-emphasizes compliance & managerial tasks
https://t.co/nrtnARGSTs
A2: Voice and Choice is where the ownership takes place. The Ls are invested in the process and outcome. They feel respected. Ownership!
Great point! No need to think if one is always told what to do. Our habits are stronger than we think they are.
Yes! Admin on top of admin on top of boards and other agencies. We can only do what we can... https://t.co/XZZk5iAOGJ
some do but many admin are pinned by a bureaucracy that over-emphasizes compliance & managerial tasks
A2: we all know it's skills that matter over content now, so why not give voice/choice?
The impact is endless! Ss who want to come to school, are engaged, excel, become entrepreneurs. https://t.co/kXFxRl5kfS
If Ss are always told what to do they won't become independent problem solvers. https://t.co/b1ppQIadF1
Great point! No need to think if one is always told what to do. Our habits are stronger than we think they are.

A3: We need to connect to learners' hearts before we change their minds!
A4 Low-student-academic self-esteem is common. We must foster growth through success and confidence.
A4: Have learners learn how to set their own learning goals, a plan to achieve them and a way to reflect on them!
. I know, it can work sometimes. But sometimes the mirror won't let you just close the door.
A4: focus on a personal passion or wonder & have a system to track their progress (a guide, reflections, etc).
A4: Investigate questions that don't have right answers. Pursue inquiry that feels important/impactful
A4 When students have a "success mind-set" it is not about failing, it is about the type of success.
A4: need to nurture the whole child; we need a more holistic approach, I think of Maslow here.
Great way to assure success! https://t.co/bqU4fJGhOx

A4 Low-student-academic self-esteem is common. We must foster growth through success and confidence.
Good evening ! Told from NY- HS assistant principal joining in VERY late! 😀
A4) Get Ss to write what they learned, if enjoyed a learning experience, what helped, what hindered, what might help next time
A4: foster that & build community of learners first before learning happens.
Do you mean a way for the learner to monitor their own progress? It is about ownership!
https://t.co/5bXiXteMjN
A4: focus on a personal passion or wonder & have a system to track their progress (a guide, reflections, etc).
Building confidence is big! Sadly, it's something so many Ss don't have - being products of system of compliance.
A4: They can get connected to specialists & each other. Communication & collaboration can help w accuracy&validity in learning.
. it is time - it's just there are so many "Ed saviours" with so much rhetoric but little substance.
A4: Have learners reflect and talk about their learning as a part of their daily practice.
A4: I have Ss explore a big idea& related essential Q; no one right answer so they learn to love learning & investigating.
I have elaborated a little on this idea and created success mind-sets. This fosters the growth ideas. https://t.co/I1ixqoZiU2

A4: think assessment plays a key role; teach them how to set goals, select strategies & self monitor

A4: It’s about learners developing a practice to reflect on their learning and talk about their learning!

A3 Topics that have S's curiosity leading to innovative ideas and wanting them to dig deeper into it
A5 they will need t be able to set goal and reflect on those goal.
Self-direction arises from a clarity of purpose... born from a culture where learners are free to fail. https://t.co/W25zbuo81E
A5: The Q is: Are we self-directed learners? Do we model this in our classroom?
Ss tend to take more risks when they know there isn't "one right answer". Love this approach! https://t.co/2Tq6rVrkmV
A4: I have Ss explore a big idea& related essential Q; no one right answer so they learn to love learning & investigating.

Great point! Everything great and important starts with good Qs!
I missed seeing you! Sorry to be arriving so late. Love this topic, as your u know!
Yes need to bring back wonder, curiosity - that's when we were learners - growing each day https://t.co/3TGp5oXIdK
Let's remember many of the skills needed were there at birth, innate yet un-labeled. Practiced at age 1-3-we can remindl S's!
A5- opportunities to explore, use of choice+believing that trying supports inquiries& perseverance
A6: Have them discover who they are as learners first & then have them set personal goals that would provide a challenge to them
A5 - questioning should be seen as strength but often, in many systems- it is discouraged & seen as a lack of "team support"!
Have to duck out early but thanks for another great & ! I'll be in touch soon :)
A6 Easy=boring. Rigor and challenge =excitement. Live this model, breathe it and show it.
Teaching our learners information literacy skills -modeling - is important too- they need to know how to search for answers
Love these, Kathleen! Knowing oneself as a learner is key! Personal goals and support are just as important!
Big ideas let students explore&think critically and bring back many different perspectives as a class
Thanks for an engaging chat as always ! Have to head out early to get kids in bed.
I see questioning coming back, inquiry around interests, challenging thinking - cannot give up https://t.co/iCwbXAxPI6
A5 - questioning should be seen as strength but often, in many systems- it is discouraged & seen as a lack of "team support"!
A6 Ss need to believe in their abilities first. Positive guidance towards "you can do the hard stuff" is powerful!
A bit different, but thinking too, questions should invite possibility, uncover strengths. https://t.co/c5wVbHxVS1
A5 - questioning should be seen as strength but often, in many systems- it is discouraged & seen as a lack of "team support"!
thanks for the discussion - looking forward to future connections!
A6 we give learners the answer and they come up with the questions - maybe even around a standard. Challenge them
Inquiry is the key. Ss need to learn how to ask those higher order questions and seek their answers.
Yes, seems to be fear of learners asking questions, lest class gets off topic & content not covered :(
Yes Qs should invite possibility & uncover strengths - thanks for jumping into https://t.co/8Is7jxgsjG
