whalen - Moderator Jul 26 @ 7:35 PM EDT

@4CollsScholars Great picture! I grew up in Virginia and used to go to ODU basketball games. #collschat

2ndTandT Jul 26 @ 7:35 PM EDT

A1: This week, 45:Student Curiosity - love the idea of a question log #collschat

MsYucis Jul 26 @ 7:35 PM EDT

Hi all, Elisabeth from Collingswood. English dept at CHS and a little AP psych thrown in. #school20 #collschat

4CollsScholars Jul 26 @ 7:36 PM EDT

A1: 41: UbD has been a game changer for me. Think backwards. Instruction and assessment (formative/summative) can’t be separated. #collschat

2ndTandT Jul 26 @ 7:36 PM EDT

@whalen Thanks for setting it up each week! #collschat

MsYucis Jul 26 @ 7:36 PM EDT

A1: I liked 52, school should be real life. I agree! Quite simply. #collschat #school20

4CollsScholars Jul 26 @ 7:37 PM EDT

A1: Know your KUDs. Relate all to enduring understandings and essential questions. #collschat

whalen - Moderator Jul 26 @ 7:38 PM EDT

A1: Number 40 for me this week - learning must be non-negotiable - I think we have a lot of obstacles to tackle to make that so. #collschat

whalen - Moderator Jul 26 @ 7:42 PM EDT

Q2: Thesis 39: How can you be a better listener in your classroom? As a colleague? #collschat #school20 https://t.co/5dEpQJVq1v

2ndTandT Jul 26 @ 7:42 PM EDT

A2: I should consider point of view more often in order to ask better questions #collschat

4CollsScholars Jul 26 @ 7:43 PM EDT

A2:Listen with positive intent Ask questions to understand and clarify Repeat what you THINK you heard. Be cognizant of n-v cues. #collschat

MsYucis Jul 26 @ 7:44 PM EDT

A2: sometimes I pretend not to hear when an activity doesn't work for the students. #confession #school20 #collschat

colls_academic Jul 26 @ 7:45 PM EDT

A2: Resisting the urge to speak is crucial, and I'm not good at it (yet). Active listening is something we all need to work on. #collschat

cwahlCHS Jul 26 @ 7:45 PM EDT

Hi everyone! Carol from CHS: Special Ed teacher. #collschat

whalen - Moderator Jul 26 @ 7:46 PM EDT

A2: I have to resist the urge to judge or offer advice when coaching - sometimes people just want to be heard. #collschat

whalen - Moderator Jul 26 @ 7:49 PM EDT

Q3: Thesis 40: Is learning non-negotiable in our practice? What obstacles do we face to make it so? #collschat https://t.co/28pZGzgiCK

cwahlCHS Jul 26 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A2: - STOP talking and really hear my students. Listening to colleagues means being supportive and encouraging, but also honest. #collschat

4CollsScholars Jul 26 @ 7:50 PM EDT

A3:Should be non-negotiable but sometimes it isn't esp with Ss who don’t play the "game” See this w underperforming gifted Ss #collschat

whalen - Moderator Jul 26 @ 7:50 PM EDT

@4CollsScholars Ah but isn't the game sometimes the obstacle? #collschat

4CollsScholars Jul 26 @ 7:51 PM EDT

A3: T must focus on KUDs that will lead to understanding and learning. #collschat

MsYucis Jul 26 @ 7:51 PM EDT

A3: I love learning and hope to spread that to my students by making it enjoyable and satisfying for them. #collschat #school20

4CollsScholars Jul 26 @ 7:52 PM EDT

A3: Obstacles: having to face what I am doing may not be working, need for reflection #collschat

whalen - Moderator Jul 26 @ 7:56 PM EDT

Q4: Thesis 48: Describe a time in which you instilled a love of learning to your kids #collschat #school20 https://t.co/vKFJQIeRIw

2ndTandT Jul 26 @ 7:57 PM EDT

A4: Publishing parties instill love for my little ones #collschat

4CollsScholars Jul 26 @ 7:57 PM EDT

colls_academic Jul 26 @ 7:58 PM EDT

MsYucis Jul 26 @ 7:58 PM EDT

cwahlCHS Jul 26 @ 8:00 PM EDT

Q5: Thesis 49: Where do you witness deficit model thinking in Education? How can you change that? #collschat https://t.co/renDNyd1va

4CollsScholars Jul 26 @ 8:04 PM EDT

A5:As a former gifted T in Title I school, students were often written off as “not gifted” due to their struggles MISCONCEPTION! #collschat

4CollsScholars Jul 26 @ 8:05 PM EDT

A5: Change the opportunities and problems students are presented with. Focus on strengths. Provide scaffolding. #collschat

MsYucis Jul 26 @ 8:05 PM EDT

A5: it can be easy, when giving feedback, to focus solely on weakness and not celebrate strengths #collschat #school20

2ndTandT Jul 26 @ 8:05 PM EDT

A5: Sadly, in so much we do - constant assessment to find weaknesses. Focus more on strengths #collschat

whalen - Moderator Jul 26 @ 8:06 PM EDT

A5: Grading and Evaluations! We need to work harder at positive, strength based feedback. #collschat

2ndTandT Jul 26 @ 8:06 PM EDT

@cwahlCHS Similar experience this year! #collschat

cwahlCHS Jul 26 @ 8:08 PM EDT
