A1: We need to be sure to create a safe environment for all involved. If they feel safe, they will take risks in their learning. #txed

jodiforeman Mar 2 @ 9:39 PM EST

A1- take away the negativity that goes with "wrong" and make it a learning experience. Male wrong safe. #txed

oJaison Mar 2 @ 9:39 PM EST

A1: Focus on the work. If we're doing the work and putting our best effort in it's important to accept that. #TXed

Bstamm00 Mar 2 @ 9:40 PM EST

A1: we must be very aware of how we respond...ourselves and to others! It will either breed fear or learning opportunity. #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:40 PM EST

A1: #FAIL strategy...First Attempt In Learning. #txed

A1-Need to help develop a #growthmindset where failure is a learning opportunity and not the end. #TXed

oJaison Mar 2 @ 9:41 PM EST

No I think there should be negativity with wrong. It can be negative and still be a learning experience. @jodiforeman #TXed

KelleyJAndrews - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:41 PM EST

@pwagnerlcisd yes..that was my thought also! #greatminds #TXed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Mar 2 @ 9:41 PM EST

@Bstamm00 well said, Brett! #txed

jodiforeman Mar 2 @ 9:41 PM EST

jodiforeman Mar 2 @ 9:42 PM EST

@oJaison positive negativity, I'll agree too. The fear instilling negativity is hinderance #TXed

@KelleyJAndrews There are so many great quotes on this. We do an "engage in learning" quote each Friday. We sometimes include failure. #txed

A1: Also think back over "wins." As a chess player I was taught to go over the games I won, and learned so much. #TXed

Bstamm00 Mar 2 @ 9:46 PM EST

@KelleyJAndrews exactly. Sure be aware, be involved, but know where to stop. #txed

oJaison Mar 2 @ 9:46 PM EST

A2- tell them. Verbal praise goes a long way. #txed

oJaison Mar 2 @ 9:49 PM EST

A2: We need time for reflection. How are our perceptions of "right" colored by our perceptions of that specific person? #TXed

A3: Set a challenging goal for how many parents you will connect with in a given week. Create common expectations. #TXed

A3 each student comes with their own rubric.can't measure compared to others. #txed

@pwagnerlcisd I've used it a couple of times, amazing what the Ss come up with as a measure. Great insight into their thoughts. #txed

A4 they say in times of stress, it's revealed. I don't think that is true though. I think I am best when relaxed! #txed keep it low stress

@pwagnerlcisd can have their perspective without their voice. #txed #stuvoice

A4 what if they had to re-evaluate their digital portfolios? that would be good..revamp, improve,see changes #txed

oJaison Mar 2 @ 10:08 PM EST

A4: proactively incorporate various cultures into our instruction. #1000BlackGirlBooks and #WeNeedDiverseBooks should be unnecessary. #txed

pwagnerlcisd - Moderator Mar 2 @ 10:08 PM EST

A4: Ask a lot of Qs, not make knee jerk judgment first time. ut I have to keep my mouth shut and listen when they speak. #txed

A4- listen, listen, listen and then listen more. #txed

Bstamm00 Mar 2 @ 10:10 PM EST

A4: listening & time. Seeing a person for who they are (in the positive way) is a relationship investment. #txed
