Neon expo markers on desk tops or windows. #flipclass

I mean, there are a lot more years of habits to break with Ts, as well as actual $ on the line #flipclass

I'm working on Ss mastery w written reading responses in @Activelylearn. Ss receive feedback for revision. Revise until mastered #flipclass

Yep. The "keep going until you get there" is why 8parts works, too. #flipclass

Yeah. it's a big jump for a lot of people. They need to know that someone has their back if they fall #flipclass

Ss loved 8 parts for creative research writing. research pic, write the scene w realistic details. #flipclass

That is what is amazing about #flipclass folks. All about doing great things together for Ss.

It's a pretty infinitely flexible system. #flipclass

agreed, habits are tough to break. Luckily I hadn't developed any when I started. #flipclass

now working on bolstering literary response writing ... wonder how to adapt 8parts for that.... #flipclass

Give them a short passage, have them pick (2 metaphors, 2 whatevers, 3 images, etc) > paragraph #flipclass

even being vulnerable to comm. and Ss is tough, let alone taking the jump itself. #flipclass

lanier_katiesue Mar 6 @ 8:54 PM EST

If that is too tough, how about "let's find out together". #flipclass

In reply to @thomasson_engl, @MGmathMc

thomasson_engl - Moderator Mar 6 @ 8:54 PM EST

Or even "That's a great question. I wonder how we can figure it out." #flipclass

I'm OK with not being the smartest in the room, even when it's full of 5th graders. #flipclass

In reply to @thomasson_engl, @MGmathMc

thomasson_engl - Moderator Mar 6 @ 8:56 PM EST

i think that's one of the things that differentiates #flipclass Ts from others - being ok with "I don't know, let's figure it out"

thomasson_engl - Moderator Mar 6 @ 8:57 PM EST

My teaching practice changed dramatically when I stopped caring about being the smartest. #flipclass

agreed part of building communities with Ts and Ss is a 'mine, yours, ours' mindset. #flipclass

The convo is winding down now- I have to get off of here and give myself a haircut. Y'all keep on talking if you want. #flipclass

I've had a lot of fun tonight. Thanks for talking and keeping things moving and helping me out since my partner wasn't here. #flipclass

this also goes to developing empathy and respect. #flipclass

It's also fun to mess with gifted Ss. Fun day when one told me he was pretty sure I was smart. :) #flipclass
