I am Noah Klein and I am an English teacher at @ShawneeAcademy. My favorite holiday tradition is lighting the menorah with my daughter. I love seeing the candles reflecting off of her face. #JCPSChat
Drew Courtney, @mooremustangs My favorite childhood holiday tradition was spreading “reindeer food” on the front lawn and getting so excited to see it gone the next morning. #JCPSChat
MeMe Ratliff, teacher engager:) My favorite childhood holiday tradition was spinning around in front of the Christmas tree with my brother until one of us fell down. #wewereodd#JCPSChat
Hi! I'm Jamie Oleka and I teach at @SHSOurHouse . My favorite childhood holiday tradition is eating a Filipino feast and watching Home Alone. #JCPSChat
While we wait on Q1, we wanted to share the #JCPSReads Holiday Reading List. Pick a book to read over the break, share a picture of your choice and maybe win a door prize! #JCPSChat
Christie Mudd. 4th/5th grade AP teacher @GreenwoodElemen My favorite childhood tradition was going to my grandmas on Christmas Eve. I would pay a million dollars (if I had it) to go over there just one more time. #JCPSChat#sorryforbeingsappy
A1. One PD I attended in '18 that impacted me greatly was the @iirpgradschool Restorative Practices 2-day training with my @MeyzeekMiddle staff. It was very important for us to see each other, learn together, and accept hard truths together.

A1: My most memorable PD is an ongoing cohort with #JCPSESL we’re delving deep into @DrJanrichardson’s Next Step Forward in Guided Reading. I love seeing my fellow ESL teachers and watching them teach their Ss! #JCPSChat
A1: One PD that had a great impact on my practice was the #kygodigital virtual PD in June. I only attended for a couple hours and I learned enough to completely change how I teach every day. #JCPSChat Shout out to @k_callahan4
A1: The best PD that I attended was our ESL Secondary Kickoff at the beginning of the year. Got a great book from @Larryferlazzo that has given me amazing ideas this year! #JCPSChat
@KateGrindon has been leading our embedded PD @SHSOurHouse around National Board best practices and all of them have been great! Each session I leave with a new reflection/idea that propels us towards a student centered classroom #JCPSChat

A2. I found the @proflib
when making my @JCPSBackpack
posters for my classroom. They looked beautiful, crisp, and precise. I suppose using @canva
helped too ;)

A2: I will say it again! The IDM from @C3Teachers. You can find it at https://t.co/9VUZrXA6OP.
Are you an ELA teacher? Let's collaborate to figure out how to use this for literary texts!
#JCPSChat
A2: I think one would be https://t.co/jKxlN3WI1W. I use it for a math with technology station in my math workshop. I don’t have to reinvent the wheel every week for new stations because it has all the standards. #JCPSChat
In 2018 I tried using @Flipgrid and my students love it! It's a great way to include technology + student engagement + formative assessments. Not to mention, it's a great tool to see growth over time with the #digitalbackpack#JCPSChat
A3. Each year, establishing community, norms, classroom culture, and RELATIONSHIPS is my first step toward an equitable classroom. My resources? Years of practice, failure, retooling, listening and observing other @JCPSKY
teachers, and listening to kids.

Q1: One professional development session that was meaningful to our practice was the Kagan training earlier this year- they taught us easy to implement ways to help our students become more engaged in learning, teamwork, and classbuilding #kaganonline#JCPSChat
Q1: One professional development we attended that made a huge impact on our instruction was the @KaganOnline PD. We learned how to better engage the students with intentional opportunities for movement and conversation. All students take part and are held accountable #JCPSChat
A3: I have become much more intentional with my use of @iirpgradschool restorative practices. I was trained through @ShawneeAcademy and supported by @DrEricaYoung. While I have a while to go, this approach is equitable because it allows everyoine to have a voice. #JCPSChat

A2: @Screencastify!! My students are creating digital book reports using slides and are able to narrate their presentation! Awesome resource! #jcpschat
A3: I have students complete beginning, middle, and end of the year surveys and ask them to be completely honest. Some of the biggest changes I’ve made in my classroom have come from student feedback. #studentvoice#JCPSChat
A3: I am constantly seeking ways to ensure my students (esp students of color and from LIC backgrounds) are able to see themselves in Science. One FREE tool that allows them to interact with scientists from diverse backgrounds is @SkypeScientist#JCPSChat#RepresentationMatters
A3: I think I have a lot of space to grow in this aspect, but I definitely work hard to build community. I want my kids to know I respect them as an individual. #JCPSChat

A3: I've also been more conscious of providing student voice whenever possible. Super important to build student voice from the ground up in pursuit of #equity#JCPSChat

A3: I had my classes create social contracts for expectations in the classroom. Great way to get student input and voice on classroom expectations and norms. #JCPSChat

https://t.co/aAPzuZpygJ allows for student choice, while allowing for formative assessment. GreenScreen and APPSMASHING has allowed students to create better presentations by combining multiple apps, (Slides+ GreenScreen+ Flipgrid= AMAZING) #jcpschat
Thank you, Michelle!
The social contract changed the game for me.
It's equity based & empowers Ss to take ownership of the learning environment! #JCPSChat
Thanks team! Feeling is mutual. So inspired by the work of #JCPSBackpack, @JCPSDigital, equity, deeper learning, and the amazingly deep talent pool of educators in @JCPSKY. #JCPSChat

I recommend the questions be offered one at a time. The first questions are about how Ss want to be treated. Nothing goes on the contract until 100% of the Ss agree & can sign it. Read & listen to more about it here: https://t.co/rm7uOnERlP#JCPSChat
3/3 Even I sign it.
We review it in many ways & the social contract changes thru the year.
We all break it at times- everyone calls us out on it... we apologize & move on.
Kids want to be treated with respect. Everyone does. Hope this helps!
#JCPSChat
A4: #KySTE19 is going to be amazing! Lots of awesome @jcpsky presenters + great folks from around the state. @bcpsky always brings the goods! #JCPSChat
I was reminded of this one last January. It is really good! #JCPSChat Models of Excellence | The Center for High-Quality Student Work https://t.co/a17XyU7VBl
