In my new school we are part of so I think of you and often!
Hi team, Bobby, international school, elementary school AP. Canadian living in South Korea.
A1- high impact research that is completely data based and this research will really drive needed assessment that is targeted.
Hello :) we are https://t.co/hlWHrAUjKb + we do online PD for ts on research about how the brain learns https://t.co/HGA7AbphHy
Good morning and welcome to . This morning we are looking at the research behind learning. Please introduce yourself.
WHOA! That's quite a long list!
Q1 John Hattie's research looks at effect sizes on student achievement. Look at list https://t.co/X9AQBI07M2 . Anything stick out?
A1 interesting that feedback/formative assessment are right next to each other. Shows importance of feedback on guiding learners
A1: Research says one of the top effect sizes on student achievement is collective teacher efficacy. Educators must collaborate
Hey Greg, good you are v you at
Yes indeed it is chilly outside! and a warm drink!
A1: Self reported grades make students reflect on their performance and take ownership of their successes and failures.
Good morning Juli-Anne checking from NJ!
Hi Billy! Glad to be here!
A1) I believe some of the things with the low effect size when compounded with others move the needle up or down
A1 "If children cannot learn the way we teach, we must teach the way children learn."
My Learning pages https://t.co/q9ZvtbPb2Q
A1: As I looked through the list, I thought collaborative learning would have been higher on the list.
Right here beside you in London, ON. 😊
I'm doing well. Waiting for my coffee... :)
A1 I strongly believe in the efficacy of formative evaluation. Curious about the drop from 2011 to 2015 in Hattie's chart.
just got coffee and joining today's chat. Nancy n TN 3rd
A1: It shows that self-reported grades has one of the highest impacts on learning. Ss being able to reflect on progress.
Good morning all, Susan from Va jumping in a little late!
I noticed this too. Interesting, yet this is very foreign in our classrooms.
https://t.co/p06piXF8bB
A1: Self reported grades make students reflect on their performance and take ownership of their successes and failures.
A1: research by Hattie must be read!Know thy impact! Is that the best strategy?Teacher clarity/learning targets key!
Collaboration is key - this goes beyond sharing; includes true discourse https://t.co/7RkcWMfTg8
A1: Research says one of the top effect sizes on student achievement is collective teacher efficacy. Educators must collaborate
A1: What's always stuck out is that we too often rely on strategies that aren't highly effective.
I am fantastic. Great seeing you here!!!
Sorry I'm late. Dina from Edison
A1 Teachers have more impact on learning than demographics. We must move past excuses of students/family experiences.
1A) Thank you for referencing John Hattie's research Great resource in many ways -latest for Literacy
A1: It surprised me that things like diet and sleep were at the bottom of the list
Hattie's research is fascinating. We've known about it for years, yet are still not implementing the findings.
A1 creativity programs one of the top influencers yet the arts still being cut across country. Creativity empowers ss
A1 Teacher credibility is high on list. What are we doing to address that in the classroom? Or do we assume, "We're the teacher"
A1 Collaboration is key not only for teachers but for all stakeholders
A1 Self-reported grades help S - do this at student led conferences
A1: Self-reported grades is high up on the list. How often do we allow and teach students how to evaluate themselves?
A1) I thought relationships would be higher, but I guess strong relationships build some of the others.
absolutely. If we really want to meet the needs of diverse learners, then we have to work together
Breakfast for Mrs and kiddo hot off the stove it’s time for..
A1. "Teacher estimates of achievement" & "Collective Teacher Efficacy" would love to know definitions of these. Place to see that?
A1: self reported grades and teacher efficacy=We must all be in it together for success.
A1: I wish creative elements and collaboration were higher on the list.
A1: Teacher professionalism and professional observations are valued and respected.
A1: It's really important 2get Ts relevant data so they can change teaching practices 2meet needs of Ss
A1: Response to intervention is a key effective size. Schools must address student deficiencies with best practice methods
A1: This would be helpful to look at when planning initiatives.
A1: I wish I had this the other day when I was decrying the role of grades and saying I want to let S's self-report!
A1 Classroom Discussions, the face of the “normal classroom” must involve a chance for the Ss to express themselves in a safety
A1 personalized education is validated by high effect size of Ss self reporting and grading
Homework has a .29 impact on achievement yet for some bizarre reason, we continue to assign it https://t.co/cnGGVtEg4y
A1:Don't think teacher estimate of achievement alone would make difference. Ts would have to act on belief. So what are they DOING?
I believe that reporting grades, but also keeping Ss goals at the forefront is integral as well.
Great question. How do we "earn" credibility with our students?
https://t.co/CUX9ZoPsKa
A1 Teacher credibility is high on list. What are we doing to address that in the classroom? Or do we assume, "We're the teacher"
I'd be happy to share our experience. Make it a STEAM lab, if you can, to incorporate arts.
A1 Educators collaborating but truly hearing everyone's voice! Too much here is what I need does this apply, now do my way. 🙄😔😩
You are so very wise! Great idea for teams to keep it at their elbows. https://t.co/5K5Rl8LOMm
A1: This would be helpful to look at when planning initiatives.
A1: I just gave my copy of Making Thinking Visible to a new T working on student engagement. Will share this, too!
A1 Depression & retention had significant - effect; T efficacy & expectations had highest result in effect size of S achievement
Feedback is critical, but it's not something that we really ever do PD on. Research shows that might be an efficient use of time
Someone interpret for me - "effects of testing" - am I reading this chart correctly?
Just think if teachers and students constantly reflected in progress and practice. https://t.co/bzoWfTEg5m
A1: It shows that self-reported grades has one of the highest impacts on learning. Ss being able to reflect on progress.
of educators out there supporting each other, which is encouraging, especially since it effects students so much
I also think that Ss goals should be constantly placed in front of them daily.
Naomi Austin principal SW Missouri joining with one eye open
A1: Is Teacher Education really down that low on the list?
A1: We MAY be investing significant time, energy and money in 'supports' that make minimal difference when it comes to learning.
low on the list was "student control over learning" - how does this connect with trend of blended learning?
As history T, I agree. Creativity creates new ideas, math & grammar are just tools to get us to the new creation
A1: Greatest es is "T est. of achievement." We need to show Ss we believe in them esp. when they don't believe in themselves
A1- strong group learning with student led conferences and discussions
A1 I've seen that graph on effect size a million times, should come with an FDA warning not to think you can just "do" the top ones
A1: Wondering is the #1 item meaning teacher's mindset about the students'potential?
Research shows that self-report grading strengthens the learning students. Do most teachers use tech. to help or hinder this idea?
Q2 7:44 Carol Ann Tomlinson speaks to differentiation. Look at article: https://t.co/aKYmuqIiW5 . How can we support all learners?
The key to Hattie’s research is understanding your current reality before moving forward. Don’t just grab the top 10.
Its worded funny but it is right up there. To understand Hattie you have to read his explanation of the categories
Of course! we just call it STEM in our district so I guess I am used to saying it that way. Didn't intentionally ignore
Wish we had a link to definition of terms :-) https://t.co/5DtgrZRWi0
agree...confused by both terms. Is this the idea of high expectations?
Self-reporting grades/assessment is key to Ss success long after they leave our buildings. That is such s critical life skill
A1: research is game changing! Would you go to MD that offered somewhat effective medicine?
Hey I hope this Flag don't offend you Oh F**kIt and pansy ass lets bring… https://t.co/bQua6W0Lpq
God Bless America!
God bless America, land that I love

Through the night with the l… https://t.co/EcPH9HcPUn
A1 So Q1 begat/begets a question or three.. “Teacher estimates of achievement”.. closely held by T or shared w/students some way?
A1) Ss engaged in their own learning & improving levels of understanding leads 2 greater !
Great point. Blogging is a great way for everyone to stop, think, and reflect on things.
Love providing opportunities for Ss to self reflect and grade themselves
A1: More importantly, what do teachers need so they can employ these high level strategies?
You have Peter DeWitt now!
Not sure where choice - self questioning? or is that for Ts?
Agreed! I have SO many questions... this is definite food for important professional dialogue
retaining students is counterproductive in so many ways.
the question comes down to how well do we know our Ss?
It's a challenge to turn over important aspects of the classrooms, especially grades.
Things are amazingly fantastic... Always thanks.
Supporting all learners starts with building relationships with all learners
Specific feedback catapults progress. Who's most invaluable to the skater; the judge or the coach?
A1 Collective teacher efficacy is crucial. Presents a challenge & opportunity for admins with unevenly motivated Ts.
Sorry I'm late! Rashida - Division Level Instructional Coach from Fairfax, VA
my thought too...Oscar it about high expectations?
Couldn't agree more. Some students best relationships are at school
I would highly recommend Visible Learning for Literacy. It is VERY user friendly and explains practical application onestep further
Sadly, most teachers don't empower kids to self-report grades. We can't escape traditional grades/labels
Like any recipe, it’s the small ingredients that make it better!
Yes! And I think it's important to give Ts time to collaborate on how to change!
A2 all ss born creative. Why r arts still marginalized in schools today? We need 2 build
A2 once you have a relationship w/ a learner, you learn how to motivate/inspire their personal growth towards learning objectives
This is a good question too! https://t.co/zir6NNFk0X
Research shows that self-report grading strengthens the learning students. Do most teachers use tech. to help or hinder this idea?
A2 ts need to adapt growth mindset w/regards 2 creativity. How r u growing your ss creative capacities?
Yes, according to "The Smartest Kids in the World" - T Education matters most Interesting https://t.co/71mF1aHEkV
A1: Is Teacher Education really down that low on the list?
A1 I'm surprised that sleep, teacher education, & diet are towards the bottom. I would guess those criteria would matter more
A1: One thing to keep in mind is that this list is not set in stone. It changes as more research is done.
Breaks my heart when so much time, money, & energy is spent on supports w/out knowing if they are truly best for Ss.
A1: I was surprised to see sleep having such a low positive effect, especially for how much I see sleep importance being emphasized
Yes https://t.co/LUsIObezty
A1: It's really important 2get Ts relevant data so they can change teaching practices 2meet needs of Ss
A1 wow, just wow data analysis is not my forte' why 1,44 I get that vertices indicates 'more-better' by why 1,44?
Gm ! Pardon for running late. I am Josh interim chief academic office for TrentonPublic Schools in NJ.
Personalization (relationships) are a thread in both the Tomlinson and Hattie research
Also how well they know us. Do we admit mistakes? authenticity helps credibility
A2- I learned this week how to give different versions of same test to support different students - it was easier then I thought
Me too - fantastic resource
A1 Is self reporting reflection and is that on this list for Ts? efficacy?
FORESHADOWS Weinergate back in August!! GREAT INSTINCTS!! Clean out DC!
Q2: From the article "One of the first things I look for are teacher-student connections." Ts must know their students.
A2: In order to truly support all learners, teachers need high consciousness and efficacy. Know your Ss, know your stuff!
A2: Educators must assume that all students can do the work. Then differentiate the way they can make sense of their learning
shared, otherwise it's self centered
A1: PBL effect size of .12 ....interesting what research is telling us. Thoughts?
great point I think they need structures in place to build community around the work
A2 Tomlinson's points of T-S connections, classroom community, and viable curriculum are key to effective differntiation
Thanks. I saw John’s name pop up and wanted to join in!
agree. aren't students supposed to take control unlearning? https://t.co/1pvq68iLA7
low on the list was "student control over learning" - how does this connect with trend of blended learning?
The meaning of self reports Gr is unclear. The response is to push student BEYOND what they report and believe
A2: Great quote from article: "at its core, differentiated instruction means addressing ways in which students vary as learners."
A2 use various approaches and activities. could help to differentiate within time limit
Do you ever give pretests? https://t.co/o63FhxJmE4
A2- I learned this week how to give different versions of same test to support different students - it was easier then I thought
A2- the philosophy to support all learners has to be Every Child;Every Day! Customized instruction for all diverse learners v
A1b PD, formative assessment and goals seem to stand out from the collective weeds. Ditto for worked examples, student centric..
So important if we want to make a change. Is that the science of teaching? https://t.co/ZPonrEGaQn
And give Ts the support for applying that data to classroom instruction. Need to know what to do with it
So involved in grading that I just realized I'm missing a great topic this morning - will have to catch-up on the archives
A2: I like the emphasis on differentiating instruction, not just giving different tests or assessments
all of these chats often lead me to similar conclusion: traditional grading practices have to go!
A1: Delivered PD 2Ts yesterday on Centers/Workstations. Wldhavluvd tohav this key piece of data to share.
reflection needs to occur in a variety of formats...everyday and in many ways
A1 However results showing T estimate of achievement & efficacy are only from the Hattie's 2015 data;more research needed over time
A2: You reach all Ss by addressing individual needs. It takes time & passion & the desire to truly watch each S grow & achieve
Q2: To differentiate you have to know what each S needs. Where are they in their learning?What's of interest? Relationships matters
A2: Love her work and hallmarks of success esp. "is the teacher paying attention to kids" So important when teaching!
A1 One thing I'm working on this year is helping my teachers differentiate using our LMS--pockets of success, still plenty to do.
A2: While not necessarily differentiation, we have often have to change our entire approach to teaching and learning
A2 planning for all learners, providing a variety of leveled questions, critical thinking, analyzing problems/steps
A2: Connecting with all learners and creating a sense of community.
A2: Working with Ss in small like-leveled groups in rotations helps. Supplying Ss with needed pre and post practice helps, too.
is an amazing place for stretching your thinking this morning! Hope you can jump into the conversation. https://t.co/ma8w00YraN
Classroom discussion important for S achievement. Ts need more PD on how to led these discussions.
Classroom observation:
Watch the impact, NOT the teacher! ~John Hattie
A1c So is it “gimme something real to do, tailored some-how/way to me then get out of my way until i show you what i did?”
makes it soooo much easier if they see how/why their Ts assess
A2: Love the line about whether the teacher is "really paying attention to the kids." That's what it's all about.
A2 Make time to "sit down w/them for a minute or 2 to see how things are going & listen to them..." Working on science conferring.
A2 We cannot become complacent with our "pet" methods that do not address the range of students in our classrooms
He did write a great forward in your book! Still debating about getting the paper copy!
(Hey, Teacher) Leave Those Kids Alone: Create safe learning environments and then get out of the way!
… https://t.co/J33RiGSkob
A2 putting students in the driver seat of their own learning, students setting heir own learning goals.
Totally true. As a current student, it is easy tell when a teacher is actively engaged with students and when they aren't
A1: Interesting to see where "class discussions" ranks as some edus still won't elicit Ss voice in class
So important! Kids won't want to learn without this piece.
Agree. Perspective is key. https://t.co/OuPeWVVeF1
The key to Hattie’s research is understanding your current reality before moving forward. Don’t just grab the top 10.
A2- the classroom as a community will have high impact for all learners in a classroom. Real strength!
A2) That's simple: Relationships, relationships, relationships and every child needs an IEP
I would think it would have a slightly higher impact on learning. Surprised it impacted it so little.
A2: I love watching my high performing ELL S's partnering with those getting started. It is truly an awesome thing to hear/watch
A1 Many of the items on that graph imply a level of trust in students that I'm certain is not in every room. Relationships first?
Well Brad. If I got on Twitter every time I thought of you I would never leave my computer…
A2: We must figure out how our Ss learn best. I am using flexible seating to help w/ some of that, but also learning who my Ss are.
A2: the connection with should never be underestimated. Get to know your kids!
Differentiated instruction means not just dif content or product but also process, sometimes forgotten. Sequence is relevant.
A2: it takes active planning and prep. With a focus on not just IEP needs but the learning styles of Ss
this way was to give everyone the test 2 weeks b4 -I haven't done that,but I allow test retakes &have an open test window
Hello from Johannesburg, !
A2 part of differentiation is also about giving kids space to self-assess & reflect on their own growth and personal progress
This parallels Hattie's work. He flips the connection-Ss become Ts of their own learning, Ts become Ss of their teaching
Agree! Practice questioning!! Need deeper level questions that allow Ss to think and support answer with evidence!
Agreed as long as we realize their starting point (readiness) is different & time to learn is variable
A2 u gotta like the work [ups & downs] & believe that the work likes U2.. after that reflect/evolve/innovate/implement/repeat
Why isn't Obama disavowing a candidate under FBI Investigation TWICE in a year?The REAL MYSTERY
. my hs stdnts self-assess their writing. I use same rubric to assess. Their notes & mine on the same page is powerful.
A2: Realize that equal is not equitable. All students learn differently.
Well, isn't that the way it always is?
would love to hear more...I struggle with differentiation myslef
But then teach through student strength
A2: Teachers need to love their jobs yield better results.
A2: "to be effective w/differentiation a T really needs to sit down and talk w/the kids" Make it all about the Ss
Growing need for personalized learning
A2 to support all learners, we need to conduct ourselves w/ integrity, providing respect & building rapport w/ all students & staff
A2: great resource! Have to get to know Ss needs before addressing. Different groupings help all learners https://t.co/8lMZjjPMI7
A1) Continue to believe in the potential of all students! Make time for personalized adjustments & encouragement!
A2: Tomlinson suggests attending to S readiness needs, interests, and preferred ways of learning...ideal, necessary, challenging.
A2: we all hit certain styles more naturally but I always have to say ok what about my Kinesthetic kids or my Interapersonals?
Q3: Seymour Papert changed educators' views on . Read this blog: https://t.co/DFs1wgweAq . How can enhance learning?
A2: Like her definition of DI: address students’ particular readiness needs, particular interests, and preferred ways of learning.
Anyone have any tips or tools on how to better differentiate in mathematics for a soon to be teacher?!
Diff can be so intimidating, but once you start it becomes the only way you want to teach. Training is key!
agreed, and it is so hard to do this effectively.
❤️ this for my class! Going to try on Monday. Great way for student reflection. You have 5 min what did you learn
A2: Differentiation is the epitome of "meeting Ss where THEY are"
not where we(Ts) are/sppsd to be.
A2 use tech, interest, at level, and T passion to support all students.
Lots of profound thought this morning on .
Brian, HS principal from Mass.
A3 need to move from consumption 2 creation. Create meaning create connections create ?'s create content create passion
so happy I moved to flexible Seating as well! They also seem to rise to the occasion when given that freedom
I often have that same conclusion. From the admin side, that's a tough mindset to shift.
The ability to self-assess and reflect on our growth really is the ability to learn. It's what learning is all about.
I love our team's student led conference every spring because they truly own their learning and celebrate their growth
Agree. But some kids have huge gaps that need to be addressed first
Good morning! Busy week. Slept an extra 20 min.
Strongly agree. It goes to what's our primary goal in teaching, the students or ourselves (our job, our prestige)
I use google classroom. How do I assign different tests without having to type every students email?
A3 Side rant: standardized testing/"covering" standards reduces T willingness to engage in open discovery--gotta get to standard 78
Ned from Vermont joining late. Topic today ?
A2a My takeaway from differentiation article = relationships matter. Which reminded me of Dunbar’s Number.. https://t.co/kF0nVyr1MB
A2 create community by blogging about curriculum and life giving all students choice and voice
I want to get my team to build into this format. Change is always difficult!
A2: teachers need to connect with students to not only be better at their jobs, but also to receive positive encouragement
That sounds like an awesome idea! Such an effective model. https://t.co/8VuoDz5fhs
I love our team's student led conference every spring because they truly own their learning and celebrate their growth
A2: We support All learners via differentiation. Consider and plan for varied learning styles. Small groups/RTI.
...or how to let go and let the Students lead the discusssions. I love the Socratic Process
A2: knowing you Ss & giving Ss voice and choice from a variety of sources, personalized for each Ss style & needs, differentiates
agreed! Rapport is very important!
I like the flex model or station rotation for differentiation. Also, S rubric, or understanding tickets. Can't teach w/o Formative
Joining late today. Gayle from VA. Principal in the middle.
If Hillary is this CORRUPT now, what would she do to us as POTUS?? Wake up Voters!
A3 = constructivism at its best!
A3: We are starting to get into using our LMS to personalize learning based on each S's weak standards--exciting, tons of work.
Good morn Billy and Laura. Overslept. Carol ELA Consultant from Long Island here for
Good Morning, Henry HS Principal from MA joining in late
A3: creating knowledge from experience involves many of the assets at the top of Hattie's list and differentiates...
I noticed frequent testing was not effective.
Research shows students respond to feedback. When grades are included they ignore the feedback
Q1. Anyone out there using self-reported grades? Would love to learn more.
It's about using tech to enhance and extend learning, not replace. There's great for Ss. Helps with differentiation, too.
A3. allows Ss an opportunity for learning by building on previous. Then expanding this knowledge through technology.
A2b Dunbar’s Number is how many people you’d want to remember: 150. Differentiation per Tomlinson seems grounded in knowing student
A3 ss should create w/their hands everyday, in every subject, at every level. Engage & grow the creative capacity of all ss.
...and find out what they need from you to move forward. Allow input for students, let them own the process
A3: I have been using the model this year to transform how instruction is delivered and how studnets build knwoledge.
❤️this quote! Differentiation often seems easier for our strugglers. Let's not hold kids back. Preassess to know.
and need to have support!! Support is so important for us to keep going, take risks do why is best for the Ss.
Welcome Carol! Are you going to next week?
Wow! Already a provocative set of questions brewing this morning! It's not too late to join in ! https://t.co/wwY3B5jXhx
it is all about relationship building with our students!
Yes. When the student is building self-efficacy the effect size is large Put them in the driver seat and g… https://t.co/ZnrWv08pL9
Love providing opportunities for Ss to self reflect and grade themselves
Love that! Get out of the way!
With open test window - does that mean they test within a certain timeframe when they are ready? https://t.co/cOYqzJzTmn
this way was to give everyone the test 2 weeks b4 -I haven't done that,but I allow test retakes &have an open test window
A3. "idea that children create knowledge from experience." Speaks loudly for prior knowledge.
A3: There needs to be a huge shift away from worksheet/workbook/PPT notes to more engaging/digital projects. We have to step it up.
Good morning - Sue here joining from Maine!
A2c So if a teacher wants to support all learners then teacher has to get to know students, ideally of a population of <150..
A2 experimenting with self-paced learning, choice, flipping,and conferencing.Students struggle with the control of learning.
Yet we have to find strengths - all kids have them. Kids with gaps need to see success. Change trajectory
Good morning ! Nice to see you here.
This reminds me of the need2be the "guide on the side" rather than sage on the stage? Fostering exploration https://t.co/znoTpaH2GD
Q3: Seymour Papert changed educators' views on . Read this blog: https://t.co/DFs1wgweAq . How can enhance learning?
A3: I remember 20 yrs ago writing my Ting philospohy, constructivism was key, technology just makes it easier to do learn-by-doing
A3: makes it a lot easier to differentiate content to students. We're also seeing more S engagement with the devices.
A3: Ss now have access to a great deal of info, right at their fingertips. Experiences are no longer limited by location.
Many Ts do not know how to let go. Fear of failure.
One of the best pathways to the deepest learning! Agreed!
A3 Provides ability for Ss to research Qs w/immediacy, build S efficacy, contribute to class learning, eval resources w/ T support.
A3: Seymour Papert knew 30 years ago that 💻 could change the way students access information, show hat they know, and collaborate
A2: differentiation isn't just for sped pop., need to help ALL Ss who need it.
We need to stress the "I" and be more flexible with the "P"
A3: Coming back into the classroom, I am bumbling around to incorporate more tech for differentiation ( is one way).
I love Pinterest! Such a great way to get ideas and visualize/brainstorm ways to teach content https://t.co/IqKEzOmFUN
Agree, what is the foundation. Knowledge builds on knowledge.
All about the students and THEIR needs! Right on!
.72? I don’t see many graphs like this so I like 150 better. At some level da decimal lessens humanity.
We are a "SBG school" and it's still a work in progress to shift the mindset. Ts tend to revert to comfort. https://t.co/BII1BZLnZM
I often have that same conclusion. From the admin side, that's a tough mindset to shift.
A4: can empower students with their own learning. It can also allow teachers check for understanding and respond quicker.
A3: Using in the classroom has brought & engagement that was not here when I attended. Ss love to learn & apply.
for sure...especially when next year's raise depends on it!
...for our students! Right on!
A1 I noticed how low the interactions with Ss on programs of creative nature are. Ts need to inspire Ss to create.
A3: It's not just the edtech but what students are able to do with it - to build their own understanding and to be challenged
A3: edtech opens opps for Ss & Ts that we once didn't have. Have to be willing to take risks & explore
can give students ways to directly engage in what they are learning instead of passively listening
A3 need to create lessons that keep Ss engaged, just the right amount of challenge for each S,
Q2 Embracing Differentiated instruction tells about the positive mindset of the educator ➡️I'll work hard 2 meet the needs of my Ss
A3: Love that in 1960 Papert recognized the impact of computer science on critical thinking!
A3: Tech allows us 2meet students where they are. Once they take charge of their own learning, resources are endless
exactly - I usually have 2 weeks ( we meet every other day) & in those 2 weeks they can take it & retake it up to 3 times
Creating the conditions for invention is a huge culture shift for many T's. Must relinquish control to S's, trust, reflect
A3 Learning by doing, we need to allow kids to have learning injuries.
A3: It's imports that tech doesn't just replace worksheets. How are Ss creating, exploring, collaborating?
We see this in the maker movement sweeping the nation. Ss all succeed when hands are involved https://t.co/nPzWUKsqR5
A3 ss should create w/their hands everyday, in every subject, at every level. Engage & grow the creative capacity of all ss.
We also have no excuse for Ss not to be engaged anymore!
A3 I am no longer responsible for helping ss w/WHAT to know, but HOW to know. The journey has shifted, we must know our role.
that's great! But not every district can afford a 3D printer, or the supplies to keep it going. Unfortunately...
grades stop learning. Feedback moves it forward
A3: Edtech is great with providing different avenues for students to display their understanding.
A3 - Tell me about a future world where most jobs will have employees who sit at a desk alone and communicate with a pencil.
I would love to hear about your success/failure with this type of seating...little timid about trying it myself
Loretta Lynch pleading the 5th is MEET THE PRESS News
Loretta Lynch pleading the 5th is MEET THE PRESS News
I believe we have to shift the mindset of teachers. The hard work for them should be in the planning, prep and reflection.
Delivering this msg is exhausting But Ss rworth it! It's about THEM, Not us! Build & curate relationships. https://t.co/N4EfM77XBi
All about the students and THEIR needs! Right on!
Interesting. I was just having conversation about test options this week with colleagues so was curious. https://t.co/SttYkPx77U
exactly - I usually have 2 weeks ( we meet every other day) & in those 2 weeks they can take it & retake it up to 3 times
Q1. Surprising that content knowledge and teacher education are ranked so low.
Yes! Technology can bridge more than one equity gap! https://t.co/sCIe00cqAh
A3: Ss now have access to a great deal of info, right at their fingertips. Experiences are no longer limited by location.
A3 take learning outside 4 walls! Make global connections, learn from & with others around you, foster a risk taking environment
Learning injuries!!! Love it https://t.co/FvzJOXxUaX
A3 Learning by doing, we need to allow kids to have learning injuries.
Me too! And I found Ts who were intimidated by Twitter felt comfortable w Pinterest. Differentiated PLN & PD.
And had a view of AI (artificial intelligence) https://t.co/EweFYAIYA8
A3: Love that in 1960 Papert recognized the impact of computer science on critical thinking!
I agree! ...because differentiation takes time and is messy, but worth it https://t.co/AEYsmSvVuG
Q2 Embracing Differentiated instruction tells about the positive mindset of the educator ➡️I'll work hard 2 meet the needs of my Ss
A2 Support all learners in collaborative endeavors via protocols to engage, scaffolds to intervene only when necessary, choices
Q1. Surprising that "student control over learning" is ranked so low.
The technology doesn't do amazing things...the students do amazing things with the technology.
A3 'this is the idea that children create knowledge from experience.' w/ tech or w/o opportunity to experience is key
A3:Edtech engage/empower Ss if used intentionally, meaningfully... Or it can serve as digital worksheets! Ts can design or assign.
Differentiation involves Ts knowing their Ss not just about curr, lesson, activities. Must know how Ss prefer to learn
The research showed that knowing the content is important but that alone doesn’t mean you can get it across to students.
A3 provides us with resources to meet Ss where they are Great way to provide feedback to Ss on work hey post!
Q2: As teachers we should be "teaching up" High expectations promotes growth mindset.
creates different opportunities to learn. Can take students to far away places ...
able and willing to do....with willing/wanting to do the work, great things can happen!
my classes made this model out of play doh! That's something most ppl can have access to
Yes, Urbie... in a perfect world..... and we all know how education is the epitome of a perfect world.… https://t.co/adi5lWQI0N
A2c So if a teacher wants to support all learners then teacher has to get to know students, ideally of a population of <150..
unless used properly, it is just that a "tool"
Hillary want the FBI to release the emails that she bleach bitted and would not release.. … https://t.co/RAR3SmJqAu
A4 spending time talking to ss @ life just as (or more) important as talking @ content.
And then playing through those injuries. Like athletes do. I love this analogy so much more than failure!
We are great at sucking the creativity out of Ss and turning them into gears of school https://t.co/8C2JyyX4bs
As parent of 3rd Gr, Im sad that she doesn't come home talking of the wonders she is learning, but she has a lot of… https://t.co/cZvya7BXjR
opens the world to our Ss. Allows them to be consumers of the world.
Can gaps not be addressed by focusing on strength? Build confidence & make connections then fill gaps
great way to put it, students have to learn how to fail in order to learn how to succeed
It is imperative we create protocols for Ss to reflect on their work and have a chance to correct it. Mastery is the goal.
A3) plays a HUGE role in igniting curiosity in our 21st century learners!!
I completely agree! It can also be a good way to organize the ideas you find on Twitter
A3: means we no longer have excuses 4 Ss not being engaged, but do not let technology b a babysitter or engagement is lost.
Yes!!! I call them Learn-burns, citing the age-old hands on the stove analogy!
A4 if looking at Hattie's 2015 results, Gardner's learning styles had little effect on Student achievement
Yes!! Tired of hearing oh put on Google Classroom where they can draw on it and mark it up! Um that is a worksheet!
A4: Danger with all these ideas is your eyes can be larger than your stomach. Rather pick a few things, do em well, leave the rest.
Ss have student data notebooks 2 track their own progress. In the fall they will lead their own conf.
A3 Thank you, Dr. Papert, for paving the way for me to have my dream job today!
A4: Drop the word styles- it will only confuse people. So true, why box kids into styles.
Agree. Can't always focus on what they can't do
A3: Ed tech has made content ubiquitous.
...to increase their awareness and to teach them there is more than one answer to every problem.
Yes! I'm a guide! I think of it as a tour guide on the education journey!
T at my schl assigned S's research paper on MI, their strongest intelligence, & its impact on their development; really cool!
You don't know frustration I feel when she tells me "I hate school", but it makes me ? what Im doing in my clssrm
A4 personally I believe that Ss learn best when actively engaging multiple learning styles in the lesson
Great topic this morning . I just need time to study the links! The responses so far are provocative and inspire. chat
Always a balance for sure
This is so true. It made me want to vomit...well said Chris.
I know! We have to encourage Ts to move past this phase and model how that might look
Yes, must want to - important to provide tasks that mean something to kids. They need to be invested. https://t.co/78AvO8ZDWu
able and willing to do....with willing/wanting to do the work, great things can happen!
Pilot it in your classroom. ELA is great to demo the power of feedback over grades
A3: Papert's thinking... technology’s transformative potential in education...not a 'panacea' in schools but awesome potential!
What if we shifted the conversation to how we coach children instead of how we teach them?
Teacher ed is changing.we have come to understand there is more to learning than knowing content. Google has changed this
Great point, tech should not be used just to save ink!
A4 Easy for me to look at DI, UDL, learning styles, PBL, SBG, etc., and feel really overwhelmed. I want to pick 3ish, do them well.
Critical thinking and (maybe more so) creative thinking are essential. Need more ways for teachers to collab & improve methods
A4. "A “visual” learner or an “auditory” learner. This notion is incoherent." Mighty deep thinking going on this morning!
A4: work on multiple intelligences informs the process and product components of differentiated instruction.
A3 Constructivist theory emphasizes Ss 2 "create knowledge from experience".We must provide https://t.co/Ci9DPULX5E is an engager
A3: Technology can offer learning efficiencies, supports engagement, and provides global connectedness opportunities.
Yes, what resources and experiences can we facilitate so they can harness learning opportunities?

A3 I am no longer responsible for helping ss w/WHAT to know, but HOW to know. The journey has shifted, we must know our role.
Q1. Read about various problems with Hattie's research recently, but can't find the link just now. Thoughts on this?
Trying to shift mindsets prioritize learning over grades
My learning team provides Ss with multiple activities and assessments in a variety of forms throughout the week.
it has to be about passion and relationships if we want kids to fill gaps
A4 I appreciate Gardner's emphasis on the importance of not short-changing Ss by oversimplifying. Ss are multi-dimensional.
A3: How do we move from substitution to redefining? We must go deeper with tech and model for Ts https://t.co/4m0rF2jSRJ
check out Teachers Throwing Out Grades on Facebook. Assessment 2.0 by and all things
provides S choice and voice.
A4: By teaching transliteracy with multi-media "text sets" we can easily pluralize teaching and deepen learning/understanding.
A4: One caution on mult intelligence & learning style is could contribute to fixed mindset re talent v growth.
A4: I have always expressed to Ss that you do not lean to one type of intelligence. Depends on so many factors.
A3a Interesting article for deep dive. Woven into the article’s fabric is social-ness (middle of No. 5) “express, communications”..
Trying to decide between that or ecet2.
A4 Love how Gardner speaks to the importance of knowing your students and teaching a concept in many different ways
A3 Since much of what is done with is soft copy, not hard copy, using them creates an atmosphere for safe risk taking
A4: I am a slow reader. Having this many articles to read is slowing me down. Should have done my homework.
A4 remember there is always research to support any position ( positive & negative); be reflective & adapt to Ss needs
This is where collaboration helps S's see other strengths and try things out of their comfort zone
hummmm... SBG I would hope would make this increase... but I'm just an educator, not a researcher.
I'm with you. But I only want 1. https://t.co/ZVG295YRGa
A4 Easy for me to look at DI, UDL, learning styles, PBL, SBG, etc., and feel really overwhelmed. I want to pick 3ish, do them well.
If we want learning to be personalized & differentiated, then standardized letter grades shouldn't have a seat at the table
there is nothing creative about preparing kids for the state mandated test
is now trending in USA, ranking 1
It's incredible how much truth Calvin and Hobbes holds
choice and voice are foundation of S-centered classroom.
I also serve on local BOE...we just discussed ROLE Reversal. We enjoy pushing our thinking!
grades = point collection
Feedback drives learning must create lovers of learning
A2. Lots of widely shared articles these days critiquing differentiation. Question: to what extent can we rely on ed. research?
A4: allowing multiple entry points for projects and varied paths of discovery
A3: Ts should not just be the ones using . Allow students multiple opportunities to surprise you!
Thanks for sharing that MI post. Very good.
Q4: Be careful w/ labels From HG, "But they should recognize that these labels may be unhelpful, at best, & ill-conceived at worst"
Very important, though I think it's also key to let that knowledge of student remain dynamic and iterative.
PBL is vital to this effort.
It's doubtful that SBG will increase effective feedback; we're still labeling kids 1, 2, 3, 4
Love this, and it isn't just for kids with a particular learning style.
A4: I do this but it is conscientiously,& I make a checklist in wkly planbook to be sure I hit every1s style- nature is my hardest
Random thought: What if T prep programs included a required global connection component? E.g. Weekly participation in
4A I have many places on the 'bell curve' or intelligences depending on my experience/interest
Sorry, I need to leave early-taking my 9 yr old son fishing; I look forward to reading the chat later; TY for the great discussion
Thanks for the opportunity to be part of the discussion this morning! I wish you all a wonderful weekend! Have to run.
A4: All Ss have multiple ways of learning. As Ts we must differentiate to foster all v death by PPT daily 😳 https://t.co/lFcMy0qEYk
A4 Pluralize teaching so Ss can learn in multiple ways through multiple means. Take away on Gardner article
A3c Learning via tech or not is harder when there isn’t a facilitator or peers near. Community in learning matters.
Yes! Guess what's on the Coming Soon shelf?
A lot of times we share interests as well, as a current student finding common ground with a prof does help learning
but the goal created by politicians is to pass the standardized mandated test
A4 - We need to stop saying "learning styles" and start personalizing and including pluralism
absolutely 100% agree 😉👌🏽
A4 So we identify our learners learn in different ways. Yep teachers get it. BUT we have 30 of them.
he along with have completely changed my views on grading practices.
The best "prep" we can do is help Ss be better learners. MORE Testing-the FORMATIVE kind.
Young people are ignorant & arrogant but think they know everything. Tend to vote Dem. Wisdom comes with age. Tend to vote Rep.
A4 I think of it as creating/designing lessons that keep Ss engaged. Provide opp for collaboration, talking, solving problems
A4) Working at a fine arts school I get to see teachers encouraging students through their different intelligences.
A4 I tell my students I hope to teach them the skills to "figure it out" bc that's much more helpful than me showing them outright
A5: UDL encompasses differentiation, multiple intelligences, and tech. All-in-one for our Ss
yes! There are tons of books around SAMR! Ts need to know the end goal
Been working w/ a T using UDL principles. Start convo w/ enduring understanding, embrace S's unique routes to that destination
A4 I've been told this year that new research is disproving multiple intelligences- somehow our students creations show it exists
A5 Never doubted the research on UDL. One day hopefully someone will invent the One True Method that combines them all.
Bill Watterson always brought the heat with subtle messages for adult readers.
A4 in addition analyzing work, sharing responses, backing up answers with support, doing what it takes to meet all learners!
Sure, a perfect world. But seeing as how we’re in a real world how about engaging other Ss has Ts, too?
It's imp to build relationships w Ss in cultures of trust so learning is optimal & ALL voice honored
luv that he starts by sayng hehad anotion-I have lots ofthose, som on point som entirelyfictional-test drivng a notion is esential
A4 Do doctors correspond with 30 patients with different needs at once
absolutely! We need to find what the "dinosaurs" are for each Ss
A4: Having an area you are intelligent in is great, but aren't we there to help grow the ones you are not strong in as well?
wouldn't that be 90% more productive than much of the professional development we receive ?
Yes!! Important to provide a variety of opportunities for Ss to learn and show their learning.
A4: Ts should model diff ways in which Ss learn; therefore, allowing Ss 2 submit work or assignments that align w/ intelligences.
A2. Confusing 2 see back & forth on various ed theories & research. Teachers need efficient way 2 access the best & most reliable.
Young people are ignorant but think they know everything. Tend to vote Dem. Wisdom comes with age. Old farts tend to vote Rep.
Or allow students to determine what roles are necessary to solve the problem and adapt what works for them
A5 UDL is one of those things that looks great--yeah! let's do this!--and then is thrown under the bus by other/local initiatives
To me, the common thread of the research we reviewed is one-size-does-NOT fit all. Ts must be flexible and agile in their practice
true -Ss don't have to have it address to learn; Skinner taught w/ + & - reinforcement-but how do Ss learn best is the ?
A4: Individualize and pluralize teaching...on some of my 'best' days...not always successful, but dedicated to not giving up! 😊😊😊
Need more PD with this! Need to look at all opportunities for Ts to being using tech to the fullest!
We are all "tested" every day...learning is about reflecting and resetting.
A4:the 3 rules are key. I ❤️ my 3 Rs: Right job, right time, right tool
and it's great to learn with your Ss. Model a love of learning. It's okay if they teach you something
A4: Teaching Ss using a variety of intelligences helps them to grow more as learners than just teaching them in preferred style
I am in a TechEd class right now that does this! I woke up early just for this morning- but definitely worth it!
Exactly. Even the most researched profess the importance of knowing your students, powerful. https://t.co/W8JrVM30Gm
A4 Love how Gardner speaks to the importance of knowing your students and teaching a concept in many different ways
A5.... boy, I wish we had more than 40 minutes per class.
A4a You have no idea how yuge debunking “learning styles” is in the corporate learning & development world..
yes ... we need to create better thinkers ... better question askers
A4: Not only allow but encourage it amongst our Ss!
Thanks for a great chat this morning!
Absolutely... this is too often the mistake most educators make https://t.co/eITXdThxh3
The key to Hattie’s research is understanding your current reality before moving forward. Don’t just grab the top 10.
. Oh yes!!!! It would make a "world" of difference! 😉 (& other ) absolutely make me a better educator!
I agree! Providing the tools does not mean change will happen in classrooms
A5 UDL is the answer to reach all students. Why is it overlooked or unknown?
A4: Agree with individualize/pluralize. MIs aren't labels or generalizations- they're strengths, and proof we're all different.
Translation; I'm trying to save my behind any way I can. Okay, I'm ready for
I could be so OK with starting with one, getting good at it, and then adding others. That makes a lot of sense.
absolutely agree. I have at least 2 in each class that I count on for tech questions.
A5 Information overload alert! Great links & so many! My superintendent is currently investigating shift to personalized learning.
Feel same way! Wish I had read articles before this morning. So much great conversation & information
A5 provide challenges 4 ss 2 create connections bt content & life. Making the why relevant & meaningful. Learning w/purpose
tell me more! I find this interesting -what is happening when kids go off into the real world. How are they supported there?
A6 on Ideas, on creative confidence, on questioning, on creativity.
yet class size has a low effect size, classroom management is key, which doesn't mean classroom discipline
Wow, so much to consider, ponder, implement and reflect upon today, thanks sat chat! See you next week!
A5 UDL emphasizes Engagement/choice/autonomy so guide Ss 2 become owners of learning in ecosystems of engagement & positivity
A5:I don't think UDL gets attention it deserves. Ts need to know it's OK to accommodate in ways that benefits all Ss & how do do it
Woke early on Sat to see Video's of Talking heads on CNN/MSNBC..loose their minds..laughing so hard… https://t.co/p3TQThv9m1
The realities of life...As Im participating in I just pulled out my 5 yr olds tooth. She's psyched for tooth fairy tonight.
RT : Q5 Research on UDL is abundant. Look at this link: How does UDL play out in your school? https://t.co/THRoTryJtB
A5: starting with the end goal in mind and working backwards. Sounds like if the test is a quality test, it is okay to teach to it.
Ours do :) https://t.co/9U8HXwaOFv
Random thought: What if T prep programs included a required global connection component? E.g. Weekly participation in
only if the goal is a test and not an enduring understanding
relationships matter but so many fear getting to know students or letting them see the real you.
This! https://t.co/daomfkyzyx
A4: Having an area you are intelligent in is great, but aren't we there to help grow the ones you are not strong in as well?
So true! It's doing what's best for the Ss and if you have no support it's scary to take that step. Need support!
A5: Leaning in to each student's interests, strengths, and learning styles so that all students can and will learn.
going off to read in more detail now.

When this is done, Donald Trump will have spent $100Mil of his OWN money to save this country.
Who else has ever done this for you?
A5 UDL is embedded, proactive, offers choices for presentation, engagement and expression. It’s the answer to reach all students
Digital skills are another platform for Ss to help each other and encourages meta-thinking
I dare you...to have a Nice Day
Democrat Logic: You can't believe what your eyes see in my emails because they were stolen by Russians.
I should have done my homework (reading) on the articles before this AM. Great info to further read this weekend. Tks.
Yes create authentic learning. Autonomy and purpose equal motivated Ss. Give them a voice and an audience https://t.co/ybaIoaLTML
A5 provide challenges 4 ss 2 create connections bt content & life. Making the why relevant & meaningful. Learning w/purpose
Q6 Who are some of your favorite researchers in the field of education? What does their research say? Where is it located?
Good point, . We can't be suckers for every research study that seems to "prove" something. Investigate.
A3. Firmly believe that kids learn by doing. Hattie's list appears to be missing project based learning, btw...
A5: I am going to need more time to read through that article.
Lots of info here today!!! https://t.co/VxvEItLgSl
I should have done my homework (reading) on the articles before this AM. Great info to further read this weekend. Tks.
Like differentiation - not one style fits all. You'll need to do 6 to do it right. (lol)
main point is to learn the topic for the importance of knowing it? I am honestly asking to understand the difference.
As leaders how do we translate this amazing research into bite-size pieces that others can openly embrace? https://t.co/249Uz8Tfs0
These Focker's in this Focker's pic should go right to Focker jail!
Just Focker disgusting!
https://t.co/I2JvvCjH9B
I have to jump off early! Loved the convo! Have a great day 🎉
We have to start redefining what we call "tests." We need tests to learn...it's just a question of what kind.
be careful with Gardners Multiple Intelligences - not validated and strangely matches curriculum subjects https://t.co/0UfgGxUsxT
A6: I don't have a "favorite" research person, but this is a cool idea. I admit that I need more research in my diet.
We need to realize we practice education the way doctors practice medicine. We have to know new research and not malpractice!
LAST QUESTION FOR THE DAY! https://t.co/bmBSyIGzz2
Q6 Who are some of your favorite researchers in the field of education? What does their research say? Where is it located?
Too much of this leads to initiative fatigue for teachers & has a knock-on negative effect on students.
Quality design based on clear EVIDENCE of learning - checked formatively along the way. Hattie calls it visible learning.
Dear America consider & 1of2 candidates for active & pronounced bully. Yet we want 2 end bullying!?
A5: Minimizing distractions in the classroom will always be challenging, but new tech in the classroom could make it harder as well
I asked the first question because I have had ppl ask me the difference in the past. I want to know your thinking.
A5: It's NOT okay to do things as we've always done them if it's NOT truly what's BEST for Ss love this
https://t.co/3zx1YCUgzC
in our world ... it is about job security which is sad.
A5 Offering more student choice with goal setting conferences, becoming more of a facilitator, more 4C activities for the Ss!
productive? Engaged? Driven by students work? Creative? I like controlled messy work. Hands on S activity.

Thank you for presenting information to discuss among a community of ed. practitioners.
A6 some of my researchers:
A6 Side rant about edu research: Write it in a way I want to read it. Formal research articles are dry and boring. Spice it up, yo!
I see that. If the test is deemed valid and reliable, then it is a "good test". IMO, teaching to it okay.
A6: Fisher and Frey's Gradual Release of Responsibility.
end undstndg is a broad concept that underpins all the content; assessment is opp for S's to show they understand & how
What really matters in RTI- Richard Allington
Good Morning! This is. Great discussion so far this morning.
A6. Two books I return to Most Likely to Succeed- & Leading the New Literacies-
How much more evidence is needed to see how corrupt Hillary is?
A6a Uhm.. at this point in my career/life I’m a lot more interested in appliers/practitioners.. basically everyone in my PLN..
love #2 - standardized tests don't allow that - will they know how to respond then?
A6 Dweck's growth mindset, clarified here: https://t.co/ANqKh6ZdJX How can we help educators adopt a deeper, true growth mindset?
Distractions occur when Ss aren't invested in the learning task or the teacher. Tech doesn't change that.
The test could be one of several pieces of evidence to show they know a topic? Along with other pieces of evidence?
A6 researchers in education ... ... if you're not following him you are missing out on some great nuggets of

I shy away from tests because after school, tests won't be how they show what they know and can do
A6 What really matters in RTI- Richard Allington
I know. I am sorry. Any bit would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!
A4. Imp. 2 help students not only work to their strengths but also to challenge & support them as they work on their weaknesses.
good point - you would have figured out by now what really works in application. https://t.co/WDzLaYxlE6

Good morning 😀 Joan-EdTech Dir from Fl
We have to stop buying into the app hype and focus on what makes student learning better from student perspective
Great chat today
Finishing up the last week of fall soccer this weekend. Have a great day.
Muchas gracias I ALWAYS learn here.
we now focus on what Ss do not the "sage on the stage" but how are Ts facilitating S active learning
Ss are distracted cause they're bored. If the lessons are meaningful and engaging they just do it! https://t.co/ws92dyHRoi

OK, I'm out of pre-coffee energy. This was fun! Thanks for the articles--will read later this morning. Enjoy the weekend. :-)
A4. Another area in which the research has been confusing 4 educators. Perhaps this is inevitable, tho. Ed. is complicated & messy.
I hear what you are saying! Agree!
shouldn't be about making learning more efficient ... it should be about creating deeper learning opportunities
A6 oh another favorite of mine !

Hattie's findings not surprising to We've invested heavily in Making Thinking Visible the past 6 yrs
love number 3, students themselves know how they learn best better than anyone else
Thanks for a great start to my
That's the term I've always heard for it. I wonder if there are others?
We are "tested" every day of our lives. Not paper/pencil. Real-life tests. Our Ss need those kinds of tests.
GREAT chat today. Thanks for all the resources and insights!
