Interested in student-driven classrooms? Join Dr. Nancy Sulla @nsulla (author of Students Taking Charge, Its Not What You Teach But How, Building Executive Function: The Missing Link to Student Achievement, and more) and educators from all over in #LATICchat on Thursday nights at 8pm ET. We hope to bring together a community of educators to share insights, stories, examples, pictures from their classrooms, and more. We welcome all educators to join; no need to be running a #LATIC classroom.
. @TweetDeck makes it easy to join two chats at once - #masterychat join #LATICchat if you are feeling up to it... discussing the power of visualization for student achievement!
A1 During the Great Depression and New Deal ALU S's visualize the posters they will ultimately create. Visualizing concept, design and detail set's them off toward achieving their goals. #LATICchat
A1 I think as latic teachers visualization is how we make change happen. So much of what I do is based on what I think or image the structures to look like. I think this is why it looks so different room to room School to school #LATICchat
A2 visualize just 1 word and allow that word to focus u as u work. The word can change as your steps in the process change. Track yur words and they hep flesh out your mental picture #LATICchat
A2 sometimes we have to anticipate roadblocks and failures in order to overcome them. Visualizing success through perseverance and remebering we need to walk before we run. #LATICchat
A2 I think a reflection journal is so helpful. My kids have a personal setback list. When things don’t work or they don’t meet goals they jot that down and from time to time reflect. It allows them to see how they overcame challenges. #LATICchat
A3) As an elementary ELA teacher, I practiced visualization with my students to "play the story in your head" - now I would encourage them to "play YOUR story in your head!" #LATICchat
I love the idea of having your students use a table or home group journal to ideate together through potential solutions. If your having the kids collaborate around a product or performance, it can serve as their ongoing design process journal. #LATICchat
A3 build their efficacy beliefs so that they believe they can be successful and let them use self talk to guide them as the navigate challenges. Kids will believe in themselves if you show them how #LATICchat
Q4 I am watching my students own their learning gains. I am no longer needing to diagnose need. They feel and void, and they find the help they need to succeed #SGMLs they ask for have been life changing #LATICchat
A4 the structures build self-reliant learners. They begin to create their own inner vision of what success looks like. They put the strategies that the structures help scaffold into practice and realize that if they can dream it they can do it . #LATICchat
A4 The use of authentic audiences and experts can help S's visualize and shape and reinforce those visions of their success in the here and now. #LATICchat
A4) The analytic Rubric is the key for student visualization. Consider embedding live links for resources associated to the specific skill or aspect of the product within the rubric. It then becomes a living breathing resource for our kids! #LATICchat
A5 provide as many opportunities or students to feel heard and important. The more we trust them with, the more they believe they can do to make a real difference #LATICchat
A5. ALUs give Ss a chance to envision a better something... whatever the final product is from the alu it’s something that is new and came from what they saw in their heads and is there because of what they learned to do #LATICchat
A5 Dare to dream as a T and pathways to dream will present themselves for your S's. Build in time and different platforms, home groups, partners and individual visualizations. Shared visions are powerful also in the quest to change the world. #LATICchat
A6 I try to incorporate gamification into my classroom. We talk a lot about leveling up and what the next level will look like. Ss use feedback and mini lessons as a way to build skills and level up. Ss suggest topics for mini lessons based on what they see they need #LATICchat
A6) One of the #designprocess questions in the formulate stage is "Who would be effected by solving or ignoring the problem?" Students could visualize both... https://t.co/kweM3b4AS7#LATICchat
A7 reframe the reaction. Why would you not want a student to see themselves succeeding to motivate and increase their positivity. The question isn't why but why not.
#LATICchat
A7 have them recreate a social experiment and take pictures of people before and after being told they are wonderful. If you can SEE success in someone’s face, visualization has to be real and impactful #LATICchat
A2) write down your goals, and be specific with what you want to accomplish. Who knows if it is true, but there is an insurance ad (I think) that claims that people are 49% more likely to achieve their goals if they write them down. #LATICchat
A7 don’t say anything. Actions speak louder than words. Once others start to hear the buzz and see them results from your classroom they will want to see what’s going on. Put out the pineapple and let them come see for themselves and then help them visualize change #LATICchat
That's all for tonight! If you haven't registered for Dr. Sulla's next webinar... What are you waiting for?! Here's the link :) https://t.co/W3DeIIM8g8#LATICchat
See you next week!
CA I like the idea of S's sitting with the rubric and a table journal to record the details and ideas from visualization. The rubric is the prompt to visualize. #LATICchat
