@hohmsclass love #growthmindset. Such a great way of getting students to see the possibilities! #sstlap

amcrowe5 Apr 28 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A1 don't really have one to be honest, a lot on using tech since Ss have laptops. Don't really have meetings etc, so no buzzwords #sstlap

A2 Accountability, Standardized testing, Rigor -- these distract teachers from creating awesome engaging edu experiences #sstlap

@TeachBowTie yeah, just be open to failure. write notes, but experiment. it can be so helpful, more than any program school's pay #sstlap

A2. Lets get rid of "accountability" -this term often just means testing or policy being handed down and disconnected from community #sstlap

hohmsclass Apr 28 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@STLinOK @Braz74 YES. 21st century learning is about much more than tech. Critical thinking, collaboration, etc. #sstlap

MrLisekRPSA Apr 28 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3: Data driven instruction and growth mindset. We have to gauge performance to knowledge and assess appropriately. #sstlap

Mr_Colicchio Apr 28 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3 definitely love multimodality. I use YouTube/google really well to make teaching engaging with lessons and projects #sstlap

hohmsclass Apr 28 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A3. Blended Learning and Growth Mindset are incredibly helpful to class culture and individualizing instruction #sstlap

@sandyrotto YES! Take the terminology and make it work for you, your school and the classroom. Not something to live by 4ever. #edtherapy

A3 I have embraced challenge, passion, inspiration with tech, 4Cs, action, investing in the child in the chair, growth mindset. #sstlap

sandyrotto Apr 28 @ 9:36 PM EDT

@ConnellySue @AJBianco Yes, these buzzwords do inspire & create conversations around topics they refer to. Talk can lead to change. #sstlap

Mr_Colicchio Apr 28 @ 9:37 PM EDT

A5 learning experiences only matter when there's a buy in from all sides. students and teachers need to believe in the lesson #sstlap

@amcrowe5 yes! Unfortunately not all have common definition of what is best for Ss #sstlap

AJBianco Apr 28 @ 9:37 PM EDT

@sandyrotto Depends. Is Blended Learning a buzzword or something that will improve instruction? We have to make sure it's used right #sstlap

@Braz74 very true, why these buzzwords all seem to take off. Don't tell me in PD session how I should do something, come watch me #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Apr 28 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5 Authentic is real world- connect to real issues or problems and not done for sake of T or grade. Community partners, businesses #sstlap

sandyrotto Apr 28 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@AJBianco I think educators can misconstrue meaning and intent of a buzzword or movement. Without dialogue, misunderstanding cont. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Apr 28 @ 9:39 PM EDT

@MrLisekRPSA thanks buddy #sstlap

jshoja Apr 28 @ 9:39 PM EDT

A5. Authentic audience is more than one person - can be other students, parents, teachers, outside experts, online community etc. #sstlap

MrLisekRPSA Apr 28 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@Braz74 Not a problem. Those who chat together, learn together. True collaboration! #sstlap

cjtweetsalot Apr 28 @ 9:40 PM EDT

@amcrowe5 @Braz74 biggest problem is when you attempt to integrate these into lessons and they fail, and admin tells you not do them #sstlap

hohmsclass Apr 28 @ 9:40 PM EDT

A5. Authentic learning means it's significant/meaningful beyond the walls of your classroom. Should strive for authenticity everyday #sstlap

@sandyrotto @AJBianco Yes! Dialogue is important. I was recently reminded silent = listen; just rearrange letters. That's why 2ears. #sstlap

MrLisekRPSA Apr 28 @ 9:41 PM EDT

A5: Auth. learning is all about providing real life context to content being learned. Bring in outside business guests to assess. #sstlap

AJBianco Apr 28 @ 9:41 PM EDT

@ConnellySue We are the early adapters, we are the ones who have to push the experiences and excited others @sandyrotto @Braz74 #sstlap

@cjtweetsalot @amcrowe5 it is theory vs. practice-- we need to see awesomeness to emulate it and allow Ts to share their awesomeness #sstlap

froehlichm Apr 28 @ 9:42 PM EDT

A5 Authentic learning happens when Ss feel their learning applies to real life & cultivates actual meaningful experiences & rltnshps #sstlap

@cjtweetsalot @amcrowe5 @Braz74 Fail = first attempt in learning. Modeling how to grow, fail, learn is so important. Teach Ss to 👀. #sstlap

@ConnellySue @AJBianco had convo today about giving Ts opp to share what they know and do with ss.. it is about what ss able to do #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Apr 28 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A6 Yeahish-- I don't want to see more paperwork but like the 1 room school house approach of getting them where they are at #sstlap

MrLisekRPSA Apr 28 @ 9:44 PM EDT

A6: We used to create growth plans for all of our students years ago. Only work if focus is student centered and there is buy in. #sstlap

AJBianco Apr 28 @ 9:44 PM EDT

@Braz74 Great idea. More admin/Ts need to give up that power and learn a little. "What are others doing, can I do it?" @ConnellySue #sstlap

amcrowe5 Apr 28 @ 9:45 PM EDT

A6 give Ss choice & options. IEP doesn't always have to be about add-ons & stipulations. Offer variety, many Ss don't know strengths #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Apr 28 @ 9:46 PM EDT

Not about graders but learning. Focus people focus. We are not graders we are teachers. #sstlap https://t.co/f2OSHB3xnD

@AJBianco @Braz74 Today I read piece & shared about an admin who visited Ts & gave so much by honoring learning. Posted this morning.#sstlap

AJBianco Apr 28 @ 9:46 PM EDT

A6: IEPs for all are necessary - Ts and Sts don't all learn the same. THIS may work for some, but others are nervous/overwhelmed. #sstlap

Mr_Colicchio Apr 28 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6 students should be able to decide what they want to learn from a younger age. it works for europe and asia (finland! @amcrowe5) #sstlap

AJBianco Apr 28 @ 9:47 PM EDT

@ConnellySue Would love to see that... Would love to introduce this to push admin to honor those Ts who do so much! @Braz74 #sstlap

froehlichm Apr 28 @ 9:47 PM EDT

A6 Concerns are more paperwork takes time away from actually working w/ Ss. I think that is valid when looking at SLOs & PPGs #sstlap

A6. Giving options, choice, ownership is possible, manageable & worthwhile. Not all the time, but, yes, sometimes. Limit outside box #sstlap

jshoja Apr 28 @ 9:48 PM EDT

A6. With individualized education just make sure to set high expectations for all #sstlap

STLinOK Apr 28 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A7: Get to know the kids & just ask, "what do you need"...then find a way to make it happen #sstlap

Mr_Colicchio Apr 28 @ 9:49 PM EDT

A7 differentiation (buzzword!). but like seriously, this is where creativity and multimodality make it possible to hit that variety #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Apr 28 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@ConnellySue @AJBianco I used to invite admins in 1 show the awesome stuff kids doing 2 build relationships ss/admin 3improve me #sstlap

froehlichm Apr 28 @ 9:49 PM EDT

@jmadlin001 Agreed! And they don't need to fill out paperwork to show it. It shows in the learning of the students. #sstlap

Braz74 - Moderator Apr 28 @ 9:50 PM EDT

A7 have found some accessibility software like rewordify or read and write or speech to text to help ss access ideas. Then choice #sstlap

ConnellySue Apr 28 @ 9:51 PM EDT

#sstlap - flash lessons is a great idea!

Mr_Colicchio Apr 28 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@Braz74 i feel like this is because they are told at such a young age that their passions aren't what they need to learn...#sstlap

mrterborg Apr 28 @ 9:51 PM EDT

@Braz74 I let my younger students (3-6) explore @CapstonePub PebbleGO database. It doesn't matter what they're researching. #sstlap

jmadlin001 Apr 28 @ 9:52 PM EDT

@Braz74 I've always said some Ss have paperwork, some don't. I give them what they need to learn. #sstlap

MrLisekRPSA Apr 28 @ 9:52 PM EDT

A7: Leveled instruction to groups. Providing DOK 1, 2, 3 information for the learners, and DOK 4 for those who mastered skill. #sstlap

@ConnellySue read article before. Do you have the link to share #sstlap

@Mr_Colicchio won't be on the test. Sad that we don't have time for inquiry. Why why why asked by Ss should be answered #sstlap
