I do that with all the papers we write, and it is a different kind of mentor text. Powerful! #hacklearning

A3: I will probably be in the minority with this, but in hs, I don't like it when Ts say "my students." I prefer "students." #hacklearning

Math Ts using this now and Ss love to engage in 'investigations' - see themselves as problem-solvers. #HackLearning

A3 - any phrase that contains "can't". Ts must model taking chances so kids learn how to fail and get back in the arena. #HackLearning

A3 Use real world titles: young poet, young historians, scholars, to give Ss a sense of who they are in their learning spaces. #HackLearning

HillMrispo Apr 16 @ 8:58 AM EDT

#HackLearning A3 The word grade should be replaced with learn. "What's your grade?"Instead, "what did you learn?" Puts value on learning!
