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.
A1 St. scheduling, choosing their personalized learning path, collaboration, open-ended problem solving with real world problems to name a few #LATICchat
A4) Lateral Thinking is a true brain exercise - moving back and forth from convergent to divergent and back again to create some new and innovative #LATICchat

Exactly! Washingtonville students are looking at the plastics in the ocean from a 5th grade perspective on how water moves around the Earth & HS Ss are taking the top 10 plastic items in the ocean and design soluble versions #LATICchat
A8 Different spaces for collaboration, simulation, research, connections to experts & different devices for each purpose i.e. iPads for creation and video, MacBooks for research and publishing, Green Screens robotics etc #LATICchat
Access to different resources can promote different thinking. #LATICchat it’s also interesting to see how students’ thinking changes as they are exposed to different seating possibilities... and have to think about which seating serves the function at hand.
CA I would really like to look at the physical classroom setup and see what it promotes? I dont think it's bad but it certainly could improve - maybe elicit student thoughts and designs for improvement. #LATICchat
As adults we act differently in different environments it would make sense that S's would function and produce differently by changing the enviro. #LATICchat#Betterlatethannotatall
