mleonard03 - Moderator Apr 20 @ 9:18 PM EDT

@KruegerClass sounds like an amazing topic for it! #3rdchat

bickd Apr 20 @ 9:18 PM EDT

mindi_r Apr 20 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@LMurray_ @itrachtenbarg #3rdchat The letting go can be the hardest part for many teachers. I see it a lot as a coach.

TechieTcher Apr 20 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@itrachtenbarg This has been my goal this yr, to let go.When I did my Ss soared.Their proficiency levels have doubled in ELA & Math #3rdchat

SRyan3rdgrade Apr 20 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@TriciaWathke this is why I love it too #3rdchat

MrsAlligood13 - Moderator Apr 20 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2cont. That being said I would really like to implement it next year. #3rdchat

mleonard03 - Moderator Apr 20 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@TechieTcher @itrachtenbarg easier said than done sometimes! #3rdchat

LMurray_ Apr 20 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@mindi_r @itrachtenbarg Absolutely. I think once you take the leap though you are more likely to let go a bit more. #3rdchat

kimmykcollins Apr 20 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@FirstAtBat @itrachtenbarg Yes!! That's exactly what I meant!!! #3rdchat

jersheets Apr 20 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A2 Student Ownership - 21st century learning is about student engagement not teachers engaging students #3rdchat
