Tonight #NHed celebrates the 30th anniversary of #TheBreakfastClub & considers how we reach our Ss today. https://t.co/U8VFe7p4Uh

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:01 PM EDT

#NHed Beyond academics & athletics, what other opportunities currently exist for our Ss to find their own path?

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:02 PM EDT

#NHed Do we support our introverts as well as our extroverts? We'll explore these questions and more in tonight's chat.

Who are the rebels, rascals, rogues & renegades who have joined in on our #NHed chat this evening?

Good evening! I'm Merri and ready for tonight's #NHed chat

@edventures Nick S. here. History Ed major at SNHU. #NHed #edu235

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:09 PM EDT

The extroverts demand more of our attention. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:09 PM EDT

.@nickedu235 Welcome aboard Nick! #NHed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:10 PM EDT

#NHed Q1: Are our students running towards school, or away from it? https://t.co/d5nuVCptiS

gallianstone Apr 24 @ 7:12 PM EDT

A1. Balancing engagement when Ss are used to low/lack of demand is hard - school gets less fun when it's not easy games all day. #nhed

cybraryman1 Apr 24 @ 7:13 PM EDT

A1 Can't blame students running away with all the tests & too much time spent on test prep. My Track page https://t.co/HKxUuwmjaV #NHed

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:13 PM EDT

A1. We're doing more to engage Ss and meet their needs. We still need to ID the ones that have potential to slip through the cracks #NHed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:14 PM EDT

#NHed A1: I wish I could say my own kids run to school but there is a disconnect for them. And they're decent students.

shirky17 Apr 24 @ 7:14 PM EDT

#NHed A1 neither... they are pushed in to it and trapped there because they law says they have to be there .....

gallianstone Apr 24 @ 7:14 PM EDT

It's a lot of work to be *that* on all day. I'm coming off spring break now - I crashed hard this past week. #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:15 PM EDT

@edventures sometimes educators' children get too much of school #NHed

nickedu235 Apr 24 @ 7:15 PM EDT

#nhed A1 After working as part of a STEAM program I've seen Ss become more excited to learn and get involved #edu235

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:15 PM EDT

.@DrMerriRajaniem *sigh* true... #NHed

shirky17 Apr 24 @ 7:15 PM EDT

#NHed A1 - though we know education is good for them, it is hard to convince a teenager of anything

KevinJGrace Apr 24 @ 7:15 PM EDT

A1- I believe S's are running toward school. Increasingly they are moving more towards T's that create personalized learning opps. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:16 PM EDT

.@shirky17 I wonder if there is anything we can do to change that perception? #NHed

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:16 PM EDT

@edventures @shirky17 We need to select specific Ss leaders and let peer pressure encourage Ss #NHed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:17 PM EDT

#NHed Reframing Q1, what things cause Ss to run from school? What things encourage them to run to it?

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:17 PM EDT

.@DrMerriRajaniem How so? #NHed

shirky17 Apr 24 @ 7:17 PM EDT

#NHed @edventures their vision is so near sighted (most of them) (brain development theories)... doesnt help them today life = not worth it

schug_dennis Apr 24 @ 7:18 PM EDT

A1 That all depends on the culture we're building...for AND with them. Students won't run away from it if they're invested in it. #NHed

gallianstone Apr 24 @ 7:18 PM EDT

.@edventures I think @drmerrirajaniem is onto something key when she talks about S leadership. Ss need a voice in the process. #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:18 PM EDT

@edventures When there are more than one challenging S, you get one on your side. I thought about the parallel #NHed

nickedu235 Apr 24 @ 7:19 PM EDT

A1 I remember running from school because of insane anxiety. It's important to create a comfortable, less rigid environment #nhed #edu235

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:19 PM EDT

Sounds like what @schug_dennis just said! #NHed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:20 PM EDT

#NHed Q2: We have outlets for athletes & mainstream Ss, but what about the rest, those who dance to their own beat? https://t.co/HzR8Swr0bi

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:20 PM EDT

I asked a S last week how could we make school more engaging. We need to listen to Ss. It should be their school too. #NHed

gallianstone Apr 24 @ 7:20 PM EDT

@nickedu235 You and me both. Though it was the unpredictable (to me) nature of my teacher at the time that was causing my anxiety. #nhed

nickedu235 Apr 24 @ 7:21 PM EDT

A2 I was one of them. My school ran talent shows and battle of the bands, which were always my year's highlights #nhed #edu235

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:21 PM EDT

#NHed My own kids don't believe that it was as rough for me in school then as it is for them now. They think I don't understand them.

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:22 PM EDT

A2. We need to provide Ss with multiple extracurricular options. Survey Ss and let them help select/design clubs with admin approval #NHed

gallianstone Apr 24 @ 7:22 PM EDT

Q2. We spend a lot of time helping Ss be part of groups - we don't do nearly enough to support those who take the path less travelled. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:22 PM EDT

#NHed A2: Our school has a number of clubs that try to reach out to students with varied interests: Russian, Gamer, Outdoor Club, LGTB, etc.

gallianstone Apr 24 @ 7:23 PM EDT

@DrMerriRajaniem I accidentally founded a group in MS by trying to attend a meeting of a group that didn't exist. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:23 PM EDT

.@nickedu235 One of the things I love about my school now is the regular open mic sessions they host during school. #Interlakes #NHed

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:24 PM EDT

@edventures There's a LOT more testing now than there was when I was in school. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:24 PM EDT

.@gallianstone @DrMerriRajaniem LOL! What group did you create? #NHed

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:24 PM EDT

@gallianstone That's great! I LOVE IT! Sounds like they pulled one over on you. Smart Ss. #NHed

gallianstone Apr 24 @ 7:24 PM EDT

@edventures @DrMerriRajaniem Girl's Computer Equity Committee (which became the Girl's Equity Committee the following year.) #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:25 PM EDT

@edventures @nickedu235 I would like to hear more about your open mic sesssions #NHed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:26 PM EDT

Our open mic sessions were organized by our lib @angiecmiller74 - students sign up ahead of time to perform. @DrMerriRajaniem #NHed

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:28 PM EDT

@edventures @angiecmiller74 How often is this held? What time of day? I think this is a great way to build relationships with Ss #NHed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:30 PM EDT

#NHed Q3: How can we reach out to, and provide opportunities for, our most challenging Ss? https://t.co/m4OWigBaKN

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:30 PM EDT

Ours happens every month or two during our office hours period on Fridays in the Media Center. @DrMerriRajaniem @angiecmiller74 #NHed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:32 PM EDT

#NHed A3: I was wondering what it would be like to have an open woods/metal/auto shop nearby for Ss to use on their projects.

gallianstone Apr 24 @ 7:32 PM EDT

What about Ss who don't/can't access extracurriculurs? E.G. SPED buses don't run late, need staff support, job, watching younger sibs #nhed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:33 PM EDT

.@gallianstone A valid point! I wonder if we could reconstruct the school day to put these activities in the middle of the day? #NHed

musiccargirl14 Apr 24 @ 7:34 PM EDT

A3: find out what motivates them and guide them on how to explore it in a meaningful way #NHed

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:34 PM EDT

A3. Start a club with those Ss and teach strategies to use their leadership in positive ways #NHed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:34 PM EDT

Hey #NHed, here is a blog post from my #Interlakes HS library media specialist @angiecmiller74 about our open mic https://t.co/n8MbCw2rAl

@DrMerriRajaniem @edventures https://t.co/iLOu8h6fwX

musiccargirl14 Apr 24 @ 7:35 PM EDT

A3: A genius lab open during school and before/after. Open exploration space! #NHed

gallianstone Apr 24 @ 7:36 PM EDT

@edventures Isn't that 20% time or genius hour? #nhed

nickedu235 Apr 24 @ 7:36 PM EDT

A3 Ss should be encouraged to find other paths if not academic. Trade-skills should be applauded, not held with a stigma #nhed #edu235

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:38 PM EDT

.@gallianstone Could be - was thinking about something more regular & recognized for continuity & consistency. Protect time for kids #NHed

gallianstone Apr 24 @ 7:38 PM EDT

@edventures I think it depends on how you define challenging. & why the S is challenging. Teaching is about relationships, after all. #nhed

JenniferFox13 Apr 24 @ 7:39 PM EDT

@nickedu235 @gallianstone Yes! We need to remember that individual have unique strengths... Ss included. #nhed #edu235

.@nickedu235 Have you all seen the Va Govs 2yr/4yr proposal? https://t.co/pcbgr9szgk #NHed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:40 PM EDT

#NHed Q4: Extroverts pretty much help themselves, but how can we support our introverts? https://t.co/CavaUc7DvN

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:41 PM EDT

A4. Through building relationships, getting to know their strengths, hobbies, etc. and encouraging participation #NHed

KayGibson01 Apr 24 @ 7:42 PM EDT

@edventures #NHed I believe friendship is the key drive to S's running too. Maintaining a friendly inclusive S Body is key!

nickedu235 Apr 24 @ 7:43 PM EDT

A4 in classroom setting: no random calling on students. Backchannels also give shy students a voice and way to participate #nhed #edu235

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:43 PM EDT

#NHed Often times introverts shun group activities, so how do we reach them or provide them with outlets?

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:44 PM EDT

@edventures Allow them to express themselves through technology / medium of their choice #NHed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:44 PM EDT

.@nickedu235 That is one of the things I love about backchannels & chats/forums. Ss can think and then post in a safe environment. #NHed

gallianstone Apr 24 @ 7:45 PM EDT

@edventures It's not just introverts. Those w/ social communication challenges and (this might surprise some) gifted Ss avoid it too! #nhed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:45 PM EDT

#NHed A4: One of my fav activities when I was in HS was a creative writing group. We had time to just be, and could share if we chose.

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:45 PM EDT

.@gallianstone Yes they do! I have one myself who I would've thought would be a Type A but he dislikes those situations. #NHed

nickedu235 Apr 24 @ 7:46 PM EDT

@edventures I always did well in group projects if/when it allowed me to do something I enjoyed (play a song, create a movie) #nhed #edu235

gallianstone Apr 24 @ 7:46 PM EDT

@edventures I discovered collaborative writing in college. One of the few groups I ever really felt a part of. #nhed

gallianstone Apr 24 @ 7:48 PM EDT

@edventures It's because they end up carrying all the work. Especially the Type As. #nhed

Sarah_C_EDU235 Apr 24 @ 7:49 PM EDT

A1: I think that students are running towards school when schools have welcoming and accepting environments! #nhed #EDU235

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:50 PM EDT

#NHed Q5: As we look ahead, will we celebrate, regulate, or castigate self-expression in schools? https://t.co/QmFqdyfciq

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:51 PM EDT

@Sarah_C_EDU235 YES! When they feel safe, loved, and valued, they will run toward school #NHed

Sarah_C_EDU235 Apr 24 @ 7:52 PM EDT

A2: We have to encourage students to be who they are and let students take initiative to create clubs/activities of interests! #nhed #EDU235

nickedu235 Apr 24 @ 7:52 PM EDT

A5 seems schools are still creative-killing industrial cogs, but definitely moving towards a more open/expressive environment #nhed #edu235

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:52 PM EDT

.@nickedu235 I agree, I sense a change as well, but it is approaching at a frustratingly slow pace! #NHed

gallianstone Apr 24 @ 7:53 PM EDT

A5. We spend a lot of time trying to regulate it. (Harness it.) I'm still undecided about what we *should* do with it. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:55 PM EDT

.@gallianstone Agreed. Sometimes in naming, identifying or forcing a thing, we actually destroy what made it unique in the 1st place. #NHed

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:55 PM EDT

A5. We need to change the mindset of educators if we want to celebrate self-expression in schools. We tend to regulate it. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:56 PM EDT

#NHed Can you go further Nick? How do you see that working, or rather not working? https://t.co/JdVQrUxDCP

nickedu235 Apr 24 @ 7:55 PM EDT

@edventures I think standards become a hindrance with this movement, especially with such little focus on the Arts. Clubs seem to help lots

Sarah_C_EDU235 Apr 24 @ 7:56 PM EDT

A3: If students misbehave, we have to find sources of behaviors! Perhaps, they are lacking skills from which we are to teach! #nhed #EDU235

KevinJGrace Apr 24 @ 7:57 PM EDT

A5- the current trend would suggest we continue to welcome self expression. #NHed

gallianstone Apr 24 @ 7:57 PM EDT

@edventures when we try to pair it with less-desirable activities to increase engagement/motivation it can backfire badly #nhed

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:58 PM EDT

Let's end #NHed tonight as they ended the movie: https://t.co/uuTlQN2Fc8

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:59 PM EDT

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:59 PM EDT

.@nickedu235 I think you'll find that is true w/ many boxed curriculum sets. Good Ts find ways to break out - be one of those! :) #NHed

DrMerriRajaniem Apr 24 @ 7:59 PM EDT

Thanks for interesting questions tonight, @edventures #NHed

Sarah_C_EDU235 Apr 24 @ 7:59 PM EDT

A4: We could check up on them regularly, encourage them, and help build confidence to have voices heard! #nhed #EDU235

edventures - Moderator Apr 24 @ 7:59 PM EDT

#NHed https://t.co/Up8kagYUbV

nickedu235 Apr 24 @ 7:58 PM EDT

@edventures I feel teachers end up bound to curricula and standards and fall into a cookie-cutter routine. Could be wrong, not teaching yet
