Here is Q1 #pisdedchat https://t.co/xvXXQf74uF

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:08 PM EST

A1 Our learners are teachers. We always try to have them figure things out, rather than just handing them the answer. #pisdedchat

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:08 PM EST

HI! Stephanie from @PlanoAHS . Excited to "unpack" these new standards tonight. #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:08 PM EST

Welcome, Stephanie! Jump on in! #pisdedchat https://t.co/HQzZ41CMZr

HI! Stephanie from @PlanoAHS . Excited to "unpack" these new standards tonight. #pisdedchat

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1 Give Ss the opportunity to make choices about how they interact with material. Open-ended assessments and tasks. #pisdedchat

cheryllazarus Feb 9 @ 9:09 PM EST

A1: encourage them to take risks and make mistakes. Model my own learning too.#pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1 As an ITS, my Ss are Ts. I ask Qs, give them resources, help them think creatively, ask more Qs, & be a guide on the side. #pisdedchat

techclara - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:11 PM EST

#pisdedchat A1 I like to empower Ss by giving them voice and choice. Talk to them! Ask them questions!

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:15 PM EST

Q2 coming right up! #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:15 PM EST

Q2. Why is "empowered learner" an important standard? #pisdedchat

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:16 PM EST

A2 By empowering Ss, you are asking them to become “project managers”, a very relevant skill in the world these days. #pisdedchat

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2 Empowered Ss are more self aware and better equipped to investigate the world around them. #pisdedchat

techclara - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:17 PM EST

#pisdedchat A2 I love how an empowered learner is making meaning. That's music to my UbD ears.

cheryllazarus Feb 9 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2: This standard puts the student in the "driver's seat." They control the direction of the experience. #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:19 PM EST

So, empowered learners have the ability to transfer their understanding? Great observation! #pisdedchat https://t.co/AZE6hA1kUO

techclara - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:17 PM EST

#pisdedchat A2 I love how an empowered learner is making meaning. That's music to my UbD ears.

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:20 PM EST

Spoken by a skilled #PBL facilitator who is loved by her students! #pisdedchat https://t.co/K2OWRDD3pe

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:17 PM EST

A2 Empowered Ss are more self aware and better equipped to investigate the world around them. #pisdedchat

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:22 PM EST

@TechKnowLeah I think you mean "learners" ;) I have to translate between Academy speak and regular terms in my tweets. #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:22 PM EST

Q3 coming up in 2 minutes! #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:24 PM EST

Q3 comes from @trudy_fern #pisdedchat https://t.co/o5q15Iar8N

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:24 PM EST

@cheryllazarus Love the idea of controlling direction. Maybe the standards tell us where to end up, but how we get there is open #pisdedchat

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:25 PM EST

A3 Assessments that require explanation and justification rather than just an answer. Lots of self assessment and reflection too #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:27 PM EST

@stephirsch Omg how did I miss that!? Sorry, it's learners! #pisdedchat

techclara - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:28 PM EST

#pisdedchat A3 this can take several forms. Giving students choice to find the right tool, trusting them to be good dig cit plays a role.

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:29 PM EST

@techclara Trust is a HUGE component of empowerment!! #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:30 PM EST

A3 I think sharing their knowledge w/ others empowers everyone. If they can teach it, they own it; peers learn too. Win-win. #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:31 PM EST

Q4 coming up in 2. #pisdedchat

trudy_fern Feb 9 @ 9:31 PM EST

A3 I printed out for each S a goals sheet of the skills they should master before leaving 7th grade #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:32 PM EST

A3 Give them opps to showcase their work (have an audience), explain their work (demo understanding)... #pisdedchat https://t.co/CgwSHwMRpl

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:24 PM EST

Q3 comes from @trudy_fern #pisdedchat https://t.co/o5q15Iar8N

trudy_fern Feb 9 @ 9:33 PM EST

A3 con't after assessments, they check off items they mastered #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:33 PM EST

Q4 is about proposed standard 2: Knowledge constructor #pisdedchat https://t.co/IpSi2hmst4

Skaggslibrary Feb 9 @ 9:33 PM EST

Soccer practice moved to Tuesday nights, but I'm here finally- catching up! @Skaggslibrary #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:33 PM EST

Hiya, Nicole! #pisdedchat https://t.co/br1dETA8bB

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:34 PM EST

A3 cont ...and give them opps to apply their learning to diff. situations. #pisdedchat #ubd

Skaggslibrary Feb 9 @ 9:35 PM EST

A3 responses, authentic work; you get what you give @Skaggslibrary @SkaggsElem #pisdedchat

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4 Comparison activities where Ss formulate “rules” for concepts. Lessons with a chance for Ss to find info from various sources #pisdedchat

Skaggslibrary Feb 9 @ 9:36 PM EST

A4 the best are open-ended, fully collaborative and freedom w/creating/curating @Skaggslibrary @SkaggsElem #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:38 PM EST

A4 This is such a good question! Any lesson that requires Ss to curate & evaluate resources. #pisdedchat https://t.co/mb7kADtOVL

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:33 PM EST

Q4 is about proposed standard 2: Knowledge constructor #pisdedchat https://t.co/IpSi2hmst4

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:38 PM EST

A4 S led seminars where they are the teachers. My kids love these!! #pisdedchat

trudy_fern Feb 9 @ 9:39 PM EST

A4 I LOVE our financial project at the end of the year. Ss have to figure out how to live on a budget!! #pisdedchat

cheryllazarus Feb 9 @ 9:39 PM EST

A4: I think any lesson can give them this opportunity. Take away the directions & the rules. Allow them to collaborate & think. #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:40 PM EST

Q5 coming up quick! #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:42 PM EST

Q5 Why is "knowledge constructor" an important standard? #pisdedchat

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:42 PM EST

@trudy_fern Crucial skill we too often overlook!!! #pisdedchat

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:43 PM EST

A5 Meaning making is the heart of all problem solving. It’s a real-world skill that incorporates passion/personal preference #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:44 PM EST

Like these FISD Ss who created BYOD posters for their school! <3 #pisdedchat https://t.co/ymSPkK3QBa @FriscoISDTech https://t.co/IIgklIrIAg

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:45 PM EST

Last Q of the night coming up soon. #pisdedchat

techclara - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:45 PM EST

#pisdedchat A5 The Ss Play a role in this too. It is not just Ts constructing. Give them ownership.

cheryllazarus Feb 9 @ 9:46 PM EST

A5: It means that student are active rather than passive learners. Keeps the standard & learning in the students' hands. #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:47 PM EST

Q6 How could focusing on students as "empowered learners" and "knowledge constructors" improve your teaching? #pisdedchat

trudy_fern Feb 9 @ 9:48 PM EST

A5 anybody can "Google" something, companies are recruiting creative and innovative problem solvers #pisdedchat

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:48 PM EST

@techclara I love how these standards connect and rely on each other!! #pisdedchat

cheryllazarus Feb 9 @ 9:48 PM EST

A6: I need to remember less me and more them. #pisdedchat

techclara - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:49 PM EST

@stephirsch Me, too! I love the way they have redesigned them. #pisdedchat

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:49 PM EST

A6 They give Ss more voice and choice in their learning and make it more about learning rather than just getting a grade. #pisdedchat

Skaggslibrary Feb 9 @ 9:50 PM EST

A6 ❤️ this @Skaggslibrary @SkaggsElem #pisdedchat https://t.co/NNu8oCTJ8X

techclara - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:50 PM EST

@cheryllazarus Yes! An engaged learner looks nothing like a passive learner. #pisdedchat

SowardsH Feb 9 @ 9:50 PM EST

A6 successful and motivated learning will keep kids focused on their own education and lead to successful lives, strong leaders #pisdedchat

TechKnowLeah - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:50 PM EST

@cheryllazarus Yes! But it's harder than it seems, right?! #pisdedchat #pbl

trudy_fern Feb 9 @ 9:51 PM EST

A6 I would become more in tune to how my Ss learn as opposed to creating lessons according to my tastes. #pisdedchat

Skaggslibrary Feb 9 @ 9:51 PM EST

A6 engaged and experiencing are key! @Skaggslibrary @SkaggsElem #pisdedchat

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:52 PM EST

@TechKnowLeah @cheryllazarus Way harder!! For both Ts and Ss!! #pisdedchat

stephirsch Feb 9 @ 9:53 PM EST

A6 The learning becomes more student centered than teacher centered. That has to be forefront in our minds as we plan #pisdedchat

NancyWTech - Moderator Feb 9 @ 9:53 PM EST
