Q1: How does innovation through risk taking empower & prepare our Ss for life outside of school? #utedchat

edubabbIe Apr 20 @ 11:00 PM EDT

However, the theory is concerned with addressing what counts as appropriate to exercising self-advocacy skills. #UTedchat

JulieAllenTHS Apr 20 @ 11:01 PM EDT

Hi everyone! I'm Julie. I work for Tintic School District. It's been a while since I've been here! Happy to participate :) #utedchat

A1 Learning to risk during school prepares students to risk in other aspects of their lives. #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:03 PM EDT

A1: Failure is an option. Ss can learn to learn from failure as well as success. #utedchat

westlakepotter Apr 20 @ 11:03 PM EDT

Good evening, #utedchat! Daniel Potter, Westlake High and ASD instructional coach.

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:03 PM EDT

A1 Gives them confidence to try new things/solution oriented/problem solvers #utedchat

pamturley55 Apr 20 @ 11:03 PM EDT

@westlakepotter Welcome to the UCET board, Daniel! #utedchat

DaniKSloan Apr 20 @ 11:04 PM EDT

A1: Encouraging students to take risks, fail, and try again helps prepare students for real world problem solving. #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:05 PM EDT

amoore114 Apr 20 @ 11:05 PM EDT

Hey everyone! I teach fifth grade at @armstrongacad Excited to chat tonight and learn from all of you! #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:06 PM EDT

@DaniKSloan I think we do our Ss a disservice when we remove opportunities to fail from them. #utedchat

GoffMGoff Apr 20 @ 11:06 PM EDT

A1: Ss need to learn to create smtg for thmslvs, instead of just consume-it's a springboard to bringing their imaginations to life #utedchat

covili - Moderator Apr 20 @ 11:07 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung Love the idea of giving students low risk chances to try new things. See what they enjoy! #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:07 PM EDT

A1... #utedchat https://t.co/apRTZMJiQF

downrightdave - Moderator Apr 20 @ 11:07 PM EDT

Hey, #utedchat! Sorry I'm late!

covili - Moderator Apr 20 @ 11:08 PM EDT

@Karkenkam @DaniKSloan This is my big problem with helicopter parenting. Kids never experience things for themselves. #utedchat

amoore114 Apr 20 @ 11:08 PM EDT

A1: It's okay to try, fail, and get back up to try again. I'm learning this too as I try new ways of teaching. #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:08 PM EDT

@downrightdave Man, you give me all kinds of grief when I'm late. Not fair. ;) #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:09 PM EDT

Q2 coming up in 1 minute. #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:10 PM EDT

How do you encourage risk taking & innovation in your class/school w/ teachers/students? #utedchat

downrightdave - Moderator Apr 20 @ 11:10 PM EDT

@Karkenkam well, I will give you less grief next time. #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:10 PM EDT

@covili @DaniKSloan Amen. 100% agree. I think we all helicopter in some ways. Need to practice #growthmindset more. #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:10 PM EDT

@covili @Karkenkam @DaniKSloan Good read... https://t.co/xNLTyanXoH #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:11 PM EDT

Q2: How do you encourage risk taking & innovation in your class/school w/ teachers/students? #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:11 PM EDT

@amoore114 Being a continuous learner is so huge as an educator #utedchat

DaniKSloan Apr 20 @ 11:12 PM EDT

A2: Provide a safe environment where students feel safe to fail, ask questions, accept feedback, and try again. #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:12 PM EDT

A2: pt 1. In the 80s Dad made me sit on my hands in his 84 TransAm so I wouldn't wipe boogers on the seats. #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:12 PM EDT

A2: pt 2. Letting Ss fail is like sitting on your hands in the back of your dad's 84 TransAm. #utedchat

amoore114 Apr 20 @ 11:12 PM EDT

A2: I try to build a class community from the start. Ss need to feel safe in their learning environment. #utedchat

covili - Moderator Apr 20 @ 11:13 PM EDT

Somebody joked there'd be a class-action lawsuit by millennials against their parents once they... https://t.co/uHOZxK3GFS #utedchat

westlakepotter Apr 20 @ 11:13 PM EDT

A2 Have clear learning targets for what the students are shooting for, but let them choose the method & medium to reach them. #utedchat

GoffMGoff Apr 20 @ 11:14 PM EDT

A2: first step is, I think, modeling: being an innovator and risk-taker yourself #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:14 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung Hilarious! #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:15 PM EDT

A2... As an IC, I establish relationship of trust asap, take risks myself in modeling, model continuous learning/growth #utedchat

covili - Moderator Apr 20 @ 11:15 PM EDT

A2 Important to let kids take risks in small stuff first. Tough to have kids risk big on a project worth 50% of grade. #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:16 PM EDT

Where is @lars3eb and @EdTecHakk tonight? They are usually around. Don't worry guys. I understand. #Utedchat.

MrStrock Apr 20 @ 11:16 PM EDT

If we're not willing to take risks as educators, how can we expect our Ss to take risks? #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:16 PM EDT

@Karkenkam Earlier tonight @lars3eb mentioned it was his kid's birthday tonight. I'm not sure where @EdTecHakk is tonight. #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:17 PM EDT

@FarrBfarr Because you are an IC, it is awesome that Ts see you do this. #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:17 PM EDT

@MrStrock Amen! #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:17 PM EDT

A2: I've seen Ts on my team take risks on innovation when they can have little successes. Not too different from Ss. #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:18 PM EDT

@Karkenkam It's amazing how you can move through the "coaching cycle" when trust is establish/risk taken/modeled #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:19 PM EDT

Q3 coming up in 1 minute. #utedchat

westlakepotter Apr 20 @ 11:19 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung Bless the admin & leaders out there that encourage this. W/out them, schools would be dull, sterile, and static. #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:20 PM EDT

@FarrBfarr Preach on! I totally agree. Sometimes as an Admin, it is hard for Ts to see me in my risk taking. Gotta be more open. #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:20 PM EDT

Q3: If you had to choose between compliant, engaged, or empowered, which word would you want to define your students? Why? #utedchat

edubabbIe Apr 20 @ 11:20 PM EDT

Learners who receive help. #UTedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:20 PM EDT

@westlakepotter @mrlewisyoung Amen, Amen, and Amen! #utedchat

GoffMGoff Apr 20 @ 11:21 PM EDT

A2: it's also important that innovation does not just become a single event, but the norm -- @gcouros #utedchat

MaryTouchet Apr 20 @ 11:21 PM EDT

Mary here joining #utedchat I teach 10th graders math at AMES

JulieAllenTHS Apr 20 @ 11:21 PM EDT

A2: I love to see Ts come back from PD and take the risk of APPLYING something new & awesome. I try to find a gem and try it! #utedchat

covili - Moderator Apr 20 @ 11:22 PM EDT

@Karkenkam Love this question! In my list for #utedchat question of the year!

DaniKSloan Apr 20 @ 11:22 PM EDT

A3: Empowered! I want students to feel confident to try anything and everything in the world (universe?) they want to. #utedchat

pamturley55 Apr 20 @ 11:23 PM EDT

A3 Empowered. Engaged is in the moment; empowerment means competency and confidence. #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:23 PM EDT

A3 Empowered because that confidence will lead to more willingness to risk/grow/discover/fail and try again #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:23 PM EDT

@covili Thanks! Do I get an award? Actually pulled it from @gcouros book. One of my interview questions. #utedchat

JulieAllenTHS Apr 20 @ 11:24 PM EDT

A3: It's a toss up between engaged and empowered! I think they work together so well. Empowered because that implies confidence. #UTEdChat

MaryTouchet Apr 20 @ 11:24 PM EDT

@JulieAllenTHS This is so true! When people ask me how I learned to use an new idea my reply is “Try it!” #UTedchat https://t.co/IpH4B6n0BW

JulieAllenTHS Apr 20 @ 11:21 PM EDT

A2: I love to see Ts come back from PD and take the risk of APPLYING something new & awesome. I try to find a gem and try it! #utedchat

covili - Moderator Apr 20 @ 11:24 PM EDT

I want students to be empowered. Those who give voice to the silent share true power. #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:25 PM EDT

@Karkenkam @covili @gcouros Love stealing from others #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:25 PM EDT

@covili I really don't need an award. @gcouros deserves it. #utedchat

amoore114 Apr 20 @ 11:26 PM EDT

A3: Empowered! I want them to know that they can do hard things and have the confidence to do them! #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:26 PM EDT

@JulieAllenTHS I think engaged eventually leads to empowered. When empowered, kids are engaged because the learning is theirs. #Utedchat

westlakepotter Apr 20 @ 11:26 PM EDT

#utedchat @Karkenkam @gcouros https://t.co/SnNuyffpYe

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:27 PM EDT

@pamturley55 Love long term thinking/perspective! #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:27 PM EDT

A3 Compliant didn't fight for women's suffrage, etc.. Empowered moves society forward. That's who i want in charge when I'm old. #utedchat

pamturley55 Apr 20 @ 11:27 PM EDT

@Karkenkam @JulieAllenTHS So it was a trick question? #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:29 PM EDT

@pamturley55 @JulieAllenTHS Not intended to be. Complience leads to engagement which leads to empowerment if done correctly. #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:29 PM EDT

Get ready for Q4 in one minute. #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:29 PM EDT

@Karkenkam @pamturley55 @JulieAllenTHS I'm on board with this thinking. #utedchat But do we push towards engagement and empowerment?

GoffMGoff Apr 20 @ 11:30 PM EDT

A3: empower of course! Our job isn't to control Ss or Ts but to bring out the best in them #utedchat #InnovatorsMindset

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:30 PM EDT

Q4: How do we take what we currently have to create a better education system? How does passion fit into this? #utedchat

MaryTouchet Apr 20 @ 11:30 PM EDT

@JulieAllenTHS The word CONFIDENCE really rings true to our Ss when doing math. @amoore114 Are you 5th graders still confident? #Utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:31 PM EDT

@Karkenkam A4: Standardized testing. #utedchat #silverbullet #giveittime #passionisoverrated

covili - Moderator Apr 20 @ 11:31 PM EDT

Love this quote #utedchat https://t.co/QoXQadJ6K1

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:32 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung @pamturley55 @JulieAllenTHS Absolutely!! Have to have vision of empowerment when starting with compliance. #utedchat

JulieAllenTHS Apr 20 @ 11:32 PM EDT

A4: I think passion is what gives us the motivation to keep taking risks! To keep trying things to create a better system! #utedchat

DaniKSloan Apr 20 @ 11:32 PM EDT

A4: Provide time for project/problem based learning, encourage problem solving skills, teach research, cultivate collaboration. #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:33 PM EDT

@Karkenkam @pamturley55 @JulieAllenTHS Just realized I misspelled compliance. Sorry. #utedchat

GoffMGoff Apr 20 @ 11:33 PM EDT

A4: empower our Ts! We may already have everything we need right in our school. Unleash the talents of Ts to empower all staff #utedchat

MaryTouchet Apr 20 @ 11:33 PM EDT

A4 Passion is a game changer in education! My prof made us swear to leave teaching if we weren’t committed to making it better! #UTedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:34 PM EDT

.@MaryTouchet I imagine this activity was akin to the beginning of Pixar's Up? Cross it... CROSS IT! #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:34 PM EDT

A4 Good quote... #utedchat https://t.co/2P2PnxHLHh

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:34 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung I sense sarcasm! #utedchat

cvanMHAcad Apr 20 @ 11:34 PM EDT

#UTedchat Crystal Van Ausdal here! I teach math at Mountain Heights Academy.

effort2learn Apr 20 @ 11:35 PM EDT

A4: To change the system we need teachers empowered to teach passionately and stand up for best practices. #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:35 PM EDT

@Karkenkam Sorry. I'm feeling snarky tonight. #utedchat #lars3ebnothere

westlakepotter Apr 20 @ 11:35 PM EDT

A4 I started listening to a great podcast "Reclaiming the Classroom" by @TrentonGoble that explores this https://t.co/VxaFzNKNim #utedchat

cvanMHAcad Apr 20 @ 11:35 PM EDT

A4 Passion and patience are needed. Changes don't come overnight and often take time to perfect. Persistence and patience are key #utedchat

amoore114 Apr 20 @ 11:36 PM EDT

@MaryTouchet @JulieAllenTHS Some are. They develop more confidence when I let them explore the math and learn it on their own. #utedchat

MaryTouchet Apr 20 @ 11:36 PM EDT

@DaniKSloan One of my Ss voiced that she remembers better when she gets to create something #pblchat #UTedchat #makerspace

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:36 PM EDT

@westlakepotter @TrentonGoble Thank you. I've been looking for a new podcast. Adding to my list now. #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:36 PM EDT

@MaryTouchet Awesome prof. Also leave if you aren't enjoying yourself. Stay passionate! #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:36 PM EDT

@MaryTouchet Four Pillars- Inspire/Believe in/Challenge Ss to new heights/passion... all MUST HAVES to be an effective educator #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:37 PM EDT

@FarrBfarr Dang man!! Where do you find these!! Fantastic quote!! #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:38 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung Love the word snarky too. #toobadlars3ebnothere #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:38 PM EDT

@Karkenkam Got a file of them if you ever want them :) #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:39 PM EDT

Q5 coming up in 1 minute. This is a doozy...I think. #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:39 PM EDT

@Karkenkam Way to set the hook. #respect #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:39 PM EDT

@MrStrock Have all my ts participating in passion projects. 3rd grade has kids doing @geniushour whole year. Awesome! #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:40 PM EDT

Q5: What risks have you taken to make your classroom/school environment more innovative? #utedchat

edubabbIe Apr 20 @ 11:40 PM EDT

Adoption of public research and development. #UTedchat

MrStrock Apr 20 @ 11:40 PM EDT

We shouldn't just tell Ss to find their passions, but to be passionate in everything they do. Do you agree/disagree?#utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:41 PM EDT

A5: I tried flipped instruction. Crashed and burned. But what came from the ashes was my thesis. #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:41 PM EDT

@Karkenkam @MrStrock @geniushour Genius hour has been a huge plus at my daughter's school/River Rock Bobcats! #utedchat

MaryTouchet Apr 20 @ 11:41 PM EDT

A5 I have learned to stop talking! Definitely helps makes the classroom environment more innovative. #UTedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:41 PM EDT

@cvanMHAcad Persistent problem solving. At the heart of innovation. #utedchat

westlakepotter Apr 20 @ 11:42 PM EDT

@mrlewisyoung Ditto--minus the grace-saving thesis. But I'm proud to report digital lit circle success; thanks! #utedchat

cvanMHAcad Apr 20 @ 11:42 PM EDT

#utedchat A5 I had my teachers rewrite our curriculum to attempt task based learning online. Still a work in process!

amoore114 Apr 20 @ 11:42 PM EDT

A4: Give Ss more time to explore and understand there isn't only one right way to do something. Open their minds and creativity! #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:42 PM EDT

@FarrBfarr @MrStrock @geniushour Go JBenson! Need to get him going on @twitter #utedchat

JulieAllenTHS Apr 20 @ 11:42 PM EDT

A5: I ask for stuff! I ask to attend more PD, to purchase (within reason) items for TBL, to attend conferences... Squeaky wheel. #UTEdChat

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:42 PM EDT

@westlakepotter Really? That's awesome! I'd love to hear how it translates to secondary #utedchat

MaryTouchet Apr 20 @ 11:43 PM EDT

A5 OK, I don’t stop talking, BUT I do talk way less than before. My students have the wheel but I get to steer the car! #UTedchat

covili - Moderator Apr 20 @ 11:43 PM EDT

I try to create a new class each year based on something I need to learn. #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:43 PM EDT

@FarrBfarr YES!! #utedchat

MaryTouchet Apr 20 @ 11:45 PM EDT

@cvanMHAcad So exciting to be a part of unchartered territory! #UTedchat

JulieAllenTHS Apr 20 @ 11:45 PM EDT

Amen! This is so important in math. Teacher talk can crush creative thinking... #UTEdChat https://t.co/cGV5ULTdtT

MaryTouchet Apr 20 @ 11:41 PM EDT

A5 I have learned to stop talking! Definitely helps makes the classroom environment more innovative. #UTedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:46 PM EDT

@JulieAllenTHS Not just in math and I'm a math teacher at heart. #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:47 PM EDT

A5 Giving time and celebrating successes/failures with teachers #utedchat

GoffMGoff Apr 20 @ 11:47 PM EDT

A5: @geniushour is great, flipping instruction was good when I could prep it all, Ss creating content videos for other Ss good #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:49 PM EDT

Last question in the form of a challenge coming up in one minute. #utedchat

JulieAllenTHS Apr 20 @ 11:49 PM EDT

Yes! I love a challenge... #utedchat

Karkenkam Apr 20 @ 11:50 PM EDT

Q6: What innovative idea or risk are you going to challenge yourself with after this chat? #utedchat #Utedchallenge

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:50 PM EDT

@westlakepotter So cool. #utedchat

amoore114 Apr 20 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A5: "Launch, explore, discuss" Launch a question, give Ss time to explore, then have a discussion where Ss share their thinking. #utedchat

cvanMHAcad Apr 20 @ 11:51 PM EDT

A6: I am hoping to replace select math tests with projects. Hopefully this will inspire more creativity and risk taking in math! #utedchat

mrlewisyoung Apr 20 @ 11:52 PM EDT

A6: I'm going to try genius hour again. Haven't tried this year with dual immersion. #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:53 PM EDT

pamturley55 Apr 20 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A6 Using badges in our district PD #utedchat

covili - Moderator Apr 20 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A6 I plan to do one thing I usually avoid - use data to make decisions in my curriculum. #utedchat

JulieAllenTHS Apr 20 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A6: I do a lot of TBL, but I want to incorporate more math projects. Larger-scale awesomeness. Anyone have good ideas/resources? #utedchat

GoffMGoff Apr 20 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A6: giving Ss core for some standards and have them plan activities/tasks/rubrics/lessons #utedchat

westlakepotter Apr 20 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A6 I'm planning to gather & share the FULL story of student learning before SAGE scores hit the paper. I want teachers celebrated. #utedchat

FarrBfarr Apr 20 @ 11:54 PM EDT

A6 Encourage Ts I work with to give students more voice/empower them now and in the future #utedchat
