Hi Missie from Falls Church, VA! #NoVAedchat

A1 I think students are more willing to take risks and step out of their comfort zone when they see that support for others #NoVAedChat

BrianHerb17 Feb 15 @ 8:06 PM EST

Hi everyone. I'm Brian, an ESOL data specialist in FCPS. One thing I love is that we all have high expectations for ourselves #NoVAedchat

mkgderose Feb 15 @ 8:06 PM EST

A1: Students need to feel safe, valued and loved in order to take risks- that's when real learning happens. #NoVAedchat

acuteteacher Feb 15 @ 8:06 PM EST

A1 - kids who feel like they belong are more willing to take risks and push themselves! #novaedchat

A1: Sense of community empowers Ss &provide a support system where there might not be one, safe place where Ss can b themselves #NoVaEdChat

Techy_Margaret Feb 15 @ 8:09 PM EST

A1 When teachers feel safe and cared for, I think we all work together better! And when we work together, our kids win #NoVAedchat

A1: When Ts show they care for Ss and make them feel that they belong Ss will strive for success. Same w/ coaching athletes. #NoVAedChat

Q2 What challenges might schools and classes face when building community? #NoVAedchat

We've done similar activities as part of character ed - it's great when posted around the school or on doors #NoVAedchat @mllambrinou

acuteteacher Feb 15 @ 8:15 PM EST

A2 - feeling behind & overwhelmed and like you HAVE TO COVER THE CONTENT at the expense of relationships. #novaedchat

We're glad you're able to pop in for part of the chat! #NoVAedchat @libraryms

In reply to @libraryms

techinteaching - Moderator Feb 15 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2 Trust is a HUGE one, especially in secondary ed. Kids (& frankly many Ts) are scared to be vulnerable. #NoVAedChat

acuteteacher Feb 15 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2 continued - but we know that no sig learning happens wo a sig relationship #novaedchat

mkgderose Feb 15 @ 8:16 PM EST

@acuteteacher totally...that's where the maslow before blooms reminder comes in handy... #novaedchat

In reply to @acuteteacher, @acuteteacher

lilostep Feb 15 @ 8:16 PM EST

A2 a lack of cultural competence can create huge barriers to acceptance, respect & understanding one another #NoVAedchat

libraryms Feb 15 @ 8:17 PM EST

A1: Trust is key! If we all (Ss & Ts) care about each other, we are able to take risks, accept challenges, learn better! #novaedchat

acuteteacher Feb 15 @ 8:17 PM EST

A2 - also - privilege can cloud some Ts perceptions of "these kids" have to build empathy bw Ts and Ss #novaedchat

libraryms Feb 15 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2; I think that time is always a challenge (or an excuse) in a school. Sometimes buy-in is tough too. #novaedchat

mkgderose Feb 15 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2: Agree, trust is huge. And, the effort has to be authentic- not contrived. #novaedchat

timothy_tanner1 Feb 15 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2: Depending on the age of the students some may try to act #toocoolforschool Ts need to keep trying regardless and be #Real #NoVAedChat

Techy_Margaret Feb 15 @ 8:18 PM EST

Oh my gosh yes!! SO hard to hear that we don't have time for #relationships @acuteteacher #NoVAedchat

In reply to @acuteteacher

BrianHerb17 Feb 15 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 Ts are isolated in their classrooms. Time away from students is in short supply and needs to be used wisely. #NoVAedchat

JTillman1999 Feb 15 @ 8:19 PM EST

A2 Recognizing that building relationships with Ss takes time. Slow down to speed up. Ss know when we are being genuine #NoVaedchat

acuteteacher Feb 15 @ 8:19 PM EST

one of my small groups in math yesterday was a rel building focus w a group of boys that can be cray. twas grand #novaedchat

In reply to @JTillman1999

mllambrinou Feb 15 @ 8:20 PM EST

A2: Excessive focus on scores & "teaching to the test" takes away from community & character building #NoVAedchat

libraryms Feb 15 @ 8:20 PM EST

This is a great point. #novaedchat

In reply to @acuteteacher

Techy_Margaret Feb 15 @ 8:20 PM EST

This is real - we need connections. So important to have conversations with our colleagues #novaedchat

BrianHerb17 Feb 15 @ 8:18 PM EST

A2 Ts are isolated in their classrooms. Time away from students is in short supply and needs to be used wisely. #NoVAedchat

I can thank @EricJensenBrain & @cultofpedagogy for helping me think about this #novaedchat

In reply to @libraryms, @EricJensenBrain, @cultofpedagogy

libraryms Feb 15 @ 8:21 PM EST

A2 (cont): Another challenge specific to MS is that we only have Ss for 2 years. Must make it feel like a community from day 1 #novaedchat

BrianHerb17 Feb 15 @ 8:21 PM EST

You're right - lack of time is too often an excuse for not doing anything. We're all short on time. Do something. #NoVAedchat

In reply to @libraryms

Techy_Margaret Feb 15 @ 8:22 PM EST

A2 Another challenge can be the size of the school. With nearly 2800 students it's important to be sure kids are included #NoVAedchat

mafarrace Feb 15 @ 8:22 PM EST

Huge amt in 1 of my classes- mixed w/what I would call ignorance of diff cultures. Every day we work on it. #NoVaedchat

In reply to @timothy_tanner1

JTillman1999 Feb 15 @ 8:22 PM EST

That is a unique challenge. In the ES we keep them for a few years (if we are lucky). Some kids are w/ us for years #NovaEdchat

In reply to @libraryms

libraryms Feb 15 @ 8:22 PM EST

Yes. Yes. Yes. Our Ss (& Ts) are so much more than scores. Need to value accordingy! #novaedchat

In reply to @mllambrinou

Techy_Margaret Feb 15 @ 8:23 PM EST

I said this to someone today - Honest and open conversation, right? #Truth #Novaedchat

good point - you have to make sure Ss don't feel like numbers. #NoVAedChat

In reply to @Techy_Margaret

I always liked MS teams to help make a big school feel smaller. Community can be within a single hallway etc #NoVAedchat

Techy_Margaret Feb 15 @ 8:25 PM EST

In reply to @BrianHerb17

Techy_Margaret Feb 15 @ 8:26 PM EST

A3 One of our favorites is social media - connect and celebrate with our students and families where they are! #NoVAedchat

BrianHerb17 Feb 15 @ 8:26 PM EST

A3 Opportunities to share, show off our successes, to see what others are doing, and learn from each other #NoVAedchat

JTillman1999 Feb 15 @ 8:26 PM EST

A3 #NovaEdchat @Techy_Margaret @BrianHerb17 A HS T said to me "We make time in life for everything we choose to make time for"

In reply to @libraryms, @Techy_Margaret, @BrianHerb17

Techy_Margaret Feb 15 @ 8:27 PM EST

A3 con't I spoke to all student clubs and teams that I could about uniting our posts on social media with a hashtag #novaedchat

Wish that we still had teams...we use a "house" model now (essentially a duplex...team=1/2 house). #novaedchat

In reply to @Techy_Margaret, @BrianHerb17

timothy_tanner1 Feb 15 @ 8:27 PM EST

A3: Getting Ss involved in positive social media posts about the school can create a positive climate at the school. #ownership #NoVAedChat

Yes, we started "Open Classroom Week" last year. 2nd annual coming up in a few. Super positive! #novaedchat

In reply to @Techy_Margaret, @BrianHerb17

mllambrinou Feb 15 @ 8:31 PM EST

A3: Character Ed, gamification, social justice ed, PBL, use of social media, i.e., Twitter, to tell our class/school story #NoVAedchat

mkgderose Feb 15 @ 8:31 PM EST

A3: For Ts, utilizing PD structures like labsites which allow Ts to collab and get in each other's rooms- builds community. #novaedchat

Techy_Margaret Feb 15 @ 8:31 PM EST

We did some asking of our community - where are you on SM. Kids were on Insta & Snapchat, parents on FB & Twitter #novaedchat @lilostep

In reply to @lilostep
