#kaganchat A5: Politics split class. Asked Ss 1 good reason smart person would vote for OTHER candidate. Needed to see beyond "stupid"

VernAtKagan Oct 25 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@bgriffinteach This is one of my favorite structures to use with adults as well. "Forces" people to put cards on the table. #kaganchat

JackieAtKagan Oct 25 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@haunanihaaheo definitely #KaganChat

jessica_reddout Oct 25 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@bgriffinteach @rickatkagan let's be sure to use this when we plan this week #kaganchat

KristineAtKagan - Moderator Oct 25 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A5: so many great Teambuilding structures that allow Ss to see they have similarities! Three Step Interview is great for this. #kaganchat

VernAtKagan Oct 25 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@JackieAtKagan Spot on! I totally agree. The same holds true for those of us in leadership who lead TB with staff. #kaganchat

Robcat17 Oct 25 @ 8:45 PM EDT

#kaganchat A5 cont: All were able to come up w/1 reason. Had a good conversation and friendships were mended. S realized it most important.

Partain_Science Oct 25 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A6: I had an ELL Ss of mine from last yr who is now in HS contact me when she didn't know how to use her new calc b4 the PSAT. #kaganchat

KaganOnline - Moderator Oct 25 @ 8:46 PM EDT

#kaganchat just look at the power of two great brains cooperating! @haunanihaaheo & @JackieAtKagan

llglass Oct 25 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A6 #kaganchat I have seen so many times where a S helps another S and the lightbulb comes on!! So cool to watch!

dtrabilsy Oct 25 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A6 I have seen my Ss become a community of learners helping each other out when someone needs it, even without prompting from me. #kaganchat

VernAtKagan Oct 25 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A6. I have witnessed adults who could agree to disagree on tough issues but not damage their relationships. #kaganchat

bgriffinteach Oct 25 @ 8:48 PM EDT

1 S who is really quiet opened up during Pass-N-Praise with her partners Loved that she felt comfortable enough to find her voice #kaganchat

GrossKathy Oct 25 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A6: Ss talking to Ss they might normally ignore. Adult learners engaged & outside their normal circles of friends. #kaganchat

jessica_reddout Oct 25 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A6: I've had shy S's become an active voice in class as well as S's feeling safe to share thoughts, experiences, & ideas #kaganchat

haunanihaaheo Oct 25 @ 8:49 PM EDT

#kaganchat A6: I had a kiddo who was a selective mute since K. CB/TBs gave her the security to speak in class after which my kids cheered.

Robcat17 Oct 25 @ 8:49 PM EDT

#kaganchat A6: SBAC from 1 to 3, bully asks 4 help because being bullied, non-English speakers helping Ss use their language in writing...

GrossKathy Oct 25 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A:6 highlight of my career a former 3rd gr S telling me he remembered I wanted to b invited to his grad so he didn't drop out! #kaganchat

d5lewis Oct 25 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A6 Coming from an Alternative HS-- mutual respect and trust is key. When they KNOW you believe in them--makes a HUGE impact #kaganchat

dtrabilsy Oct 25 @ 8:50 PM EDT

@VernAtKagan It sure makes me one proud teacher. My hope is they take that with them after they leave me. #kaganchat

Robcat17 Oct 25 @ 8:51 PM EDT
