@KRScienceLady Welcome Kathy!!! #DRtchat

theteachingexp May 30 @ 4:03 PM EDT

I'm here too. Ready to share ideas #Drtchat

ShiselleLO - Moderator May 30 @ 4:04 PM EDT

Ts want to feel like what they are doing/learning is in their ZPD & that it is worth while-also that it is applicable in their CRs #DRtchat

TamiHaverly - Moderator May 30 @ 4:04 PM EDT

I love the idea of individualized PD but what if the teachers don't get what you think they need? #DRtchat

KRScienceLady May 30 @ 4:04 PM EDT

Looking forward to great talk with lots of learning for all. #DRtchat

ShiselleLO - Moderator May 30 @ 4:05 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady so glad tou could join us! #DRtchat

carlameyrink - Moderator May 30 @ 4:05 PM EDT

@TamiHaverly I think we need to conference with Ts about what they think they need & see if we agree. #DRtchat

KRScienceLady May 30 @ 4:05 PM EDT

.What does DRt stand for?This is a first time visit for me. #DRtchat

ylonkarodriguez - Moderator May 30 @ 4:06 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady Teachers from Dominican Republic #DRtchat

carlameyrink - Moderator May 30 @ 4:06 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady Kathy we're talking about individualizing PD to make it more relevant to Ts #DRtchat Would love your perspective!

KRScienceLady May 30 @ 4:06 PM EDT

Don't you think if develop a shared vision teachers will try to fill gaps within the vision? #DRtchat https://t.co/oOTlPl8Fau

TamiHaverly - Moderator May 30 @ 4:04 PM EDT

I love the idea of individualized PD but what if the teachers don't get what you think they need? #DRtchat

ShiselleLO - Moderator May 30 @ 4:07 PM EDT

@TamiHaverly yeah I think that’s where TRUST comes in. They have to trust that their coaches have their best interest at heart #DRtchat

ylonkarodriguez - Moderator May 30 @ 4:07 PM EDT

@carlameyrink @TamiHaverly exactly, and if we don’t agree, we try to guide them, make them suggestions #DRtchat

TamiHaverly - Moderator May 30 @ 4:07 PM EDT

@carlameyrink so basically we are more or less running it like a student centered classroom. #DRtchat

ylonkarodriguez - Moderator May 30 @ 4:08 PM EDT

@TamiHaverly @carlameyrink correct! we want to provide choice to our Ss, and to differentiate, so its fair to do the same with Ts #DRtchat

carlameyrink - Moderator May 30 @ 4:08 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady I think they will. And also that we have to trust Ts to be serious about their own learning. #DRtchat

TamiHaverly - Moderator May 30 @ 4:09 PM EDT

We also have to realize that ts are in process and cant do everything at once. #DRtchat

carlameyrink - Moderator May 30 @ 4:09 PM EDT

@ShiselleLO @TamiHaverly And we have to trust that they want to learn and grow #DRtchat

KRScienceLady May 30 @ 4:10 PM EDT

Teachers need voice just as students do. The professional learning offered must be relevant and have meaning for them. #DRtchat

carlameyrink - Moderator May 30 @ 4:10 PM EDT

Exactly. This is why the ind PD is so important. We meet them wherever they are in the process #DRTchat https://t.co/dVcqcTPJPf

TamiHaverly - Moderator May 30 @ 4:09 PM EDT

We also have to realize that ts are in process and cant do everything at once. #DRtchat

KRScienceLady May 30 @ 4:11 PM EDT

So cool to be learning with teachers in a different part of our very small world. #DRtchat https://t.co/o0BvqlEaQq

ylonkarodriguez - Moderator May 30 @ 4:06 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady Teachers from Dominican Republic #DRtchat

ylonkarodriguez - Moderator May 30 @ 4:11 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady I agree with you, besides Ts can grow more when PD is personalised #DRtchat

carlameyrink - Moderator May 30 @ 4:11 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady I agree & just like Ss, when they have voice they'll be more invested in their learning #DRtchat

ShiselleLO - Moderator May 30 @ 4:12 PM EDT

@carlameyrink so imp. 2 model & convey the “life long learners” part of the philosophy! It goes for all of us-Ss, Ts, COORDs, DIRs #DRtchat

TamiHaverly - Moderator May 30 @ 4:13 PM EDT

Agree! So as we want Ss to take ownership of their learning We also want Ts to also. #DRtchat https://t.co/XVR2gpgGPR

KRScienceLady May 30 @ 4:10 PM EDT

Teachers need voice just as students do. The professional learning offered must be relevant and have meaning for them. #DRtchat

ShiselleLO - Moderator May 30 @ 4:14 PM EDT

@TamiHaverly prioritizing is ao hard sometime bc everything is important 😂 #DRtchat

carlameyrink - Moderator May 30 @ 4:15 PM EDT

I wanted to share the podcast I'd mentioned. It's from @TalksWTeachers with @nicole_lemme Worth listening to #DRtchat

TamiHaverly - Moderator May 30 @ 4:15 PM EDT

@ShiselleLO Totally agree. #DRtchat

KRScienceLady May 30 @ 4:15 PM EDT

Yes! We have 2 model risk taking & help teachers/Ss understand that a mistake is opportunity 4 new learning #DRtchat https://t.co/5pH0TayAtt

@carlameyrink @TalksWTeachers @nicole_lemme Thanks for sharing #DRtchat

TamiHaverly - Moderator May 30 @ 4:17 PM EDT

Sometimes it is easier to get the ss to take risks than the ts. we have to develop trust #DRtchat

ylonkarodriguez - Moderator May 30 @ 4:17 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady Yes, that’s a great growth mindset, learning from mistakes and moving forward #DRtchat

carlameyrink - Moderator May 30 @ 4:18 PM EDT

@TamiHaverly Oh yes! No matter how many times we say it's ok, there's a deep seated, underlying fear Must change the culture #Drtchat.

carlameyrink - Moderator May 30 @ 4:18 PM EDT

@ylonkarodriguez @KRScienceLady I guess we have to model by admitting our own mistakes #DRtchat

teacherchalky1 May 30 @ 4:18 PM EDT

@ylonkarodriguez @TamiHaverly @carlameyrink The coaching model of PD works well for this #DRtchat

KRScienceLady May 30 @ 4:19 PM EDT

As Ts we need to be transparent , we need open our doors whatever our setting and be willing to learn with and from colleagues #DRtchat

KRScienceLady May 30 @ 4:20 PM EDT

And I make plenty 😊 #DRtchat https://t.co/9oPTZzJLrL

carlameyrink - Moderator May 30 @ 4:20 PM EDT

@teacherchalky1 @ylonkarodriguez @TamiHaverly This is true...working alongside Ts as they take risks. #DRtchat

ShiselleLO - Moderator May 30 @ 4:20 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady agreed! So much more learning happens when mistakes r made. That’s when you start tweaking & trying 2 improve #DRtchat

ylonkarodriguez - Moderator May 30 @ 4:20 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady I think so too, not always we have all of the answers. So much we can learn from other colleagues #DRtchat

carlameyrink - Moderator May 30 @ 4:21 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady Ts need time to be able to observe each other - sometimes hard to find #DRtchat

KRScienceLady May 30 @ 4:23 PM EDT

I'm a learner too no matter my role.I think abt it like I think abt scientists meeting,transparency means my thinking is probed 1/2 #DRtchat

carlameyrink - Moderator May 30 @ 4:24 PM EDT

@TamiHaverly Some Ts are great at creating a classroom culture that allows for risk taking - how do we do the same in our schools? #DRtchat

KRScienceLady May 30 @ 4:24 PM EDT

I have the opportunity to listen and learn , I can build on my ideas after hearing voices of my peers, I want 2 B questioned 2/2 #DRtchat

TamiHaverly - Moderator May 30 @ 4:25 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady Agree! we definitely need the growth mindset. such a change from when I began teaching 30 yrs ago. #DRtchat

TamiHaverly - Moderator May 30 @ 4:27 PM EDT

Acknowledge that we all make mistakes but also we learn from mstks. point out growth ts have made. #DRtchat https://t.co/gMZMHBY4VV

carlameyrink - Moderator May 30 @ 4:27 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady Yes, I think that's so important - taking the time to truly listen first. Not an easy skill! #DRtchat

carlameyrink - Moderator May 30 @ 4:28 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady What is your role Kathy? Are you a teacher or in admin? #DRtchat

ShiselleLO - Moderator May 30 @ 4:28 PM EDT

@carlameyrink we have 2 pinpoint the specific T moves that make the classroom culture open 2 taking risks & making mistakes #DRtchat

carlameyrink - Moderator May 30 @ 4:29 PM EDT

@KRScienceLady Yes, & I think we have to be careful of facial exp & body language. Easy to say we're open, but body lang much match #DRtchat
