    Indeed. Also, school leadership should play a big role in this. Lead by example. Showcase it. Celebrate it. Underline it whenever they can. Talk about it. Thats the only way teachers and eventually students know how to engage with it. #edchatph

    Hi Anna the very reason I share how my class is via @Seesaw with them and they totally appreciate it. they need to be involved and immersed as well in the learning process. #edchatPH

    This is such a powerful point, Michael! If we want our students to be learners, inquirers, and thoughtful risk-takers, we have to be those things, too! #edchatPH

      A4: When we deviate from our preferred methods of assessment -- tests, etc. -- to allow Ss to use their prerequisite skills to demonstrate understanding, joy in the learning process can take place. To do this, it will take everyone stepping out of their comfort zones. #edchatph

    Absolutely agree. One thing that always saddens me in schools is closed doors. Not just physically but mentally. We need to be able to have a peek at each others practice, communicate and grow together. #edchatPH

    Exactly! Keep them involved and part of the process- relationships with everyone is key. Being open and honest is modelling a skill we want our Ss to have too. Communication tools! (Love @Seesaw! ) #edchatPH

    We must be models of positive risk-taking for our students if we desire to see them reach their true potential. If we take the "safe bet" all the time, our students will follow suit. Low risk = low reward. #edchatph

    Good golly. The house boiled over! That's why I was so spotty during the chat. Total disaster! My daughter did not listen to my wife and my wife didn't listen to my daughter. I got caught in the crossfire. Exhausted. #edchatph

    Yet you still gave such incredibly powerful insights! Is your daughter your eldest? As a middle school educator, I say: welcome to adolescence! πŸ˜‰ Fasten your seatbelt, it's a wild ride! (But it's filled with lots of beauty and learning, too!) #edchatPH

    Going on 13. She's great, but neither of them listened to the other. She's ultra-sensitive so we decided a while back that it was a NO...for now. Maybe next summer. #edchatph

    It is intense...so I totally get your decision. I enjoy it as an adult, but I'd wait a bit to show my kids, too. Even if she's upset in the moment, she knows you care. πŸ’— #edchatPH

    All good now. While my daughter and wife were screaming at each other, I noticed that my wife had a post-it on the back of her pants. Laughed at them both. Took the edge off of the matter quickly. #edchatph

    Agree. Part of the reason why teachers often leave a school too. One of the best ways to retain talent in schools is to open doors, enable better collaboration and create a platform of constant innovation - in and outside the classroom. #edchatPH

    Woah. All this reflection has tired me out. It’s almost 9PM in Wisconsin. I’m off to fall asleep in front of @OfficialLivePD. Thank you new teacher family and happy Friday! #edchatPH #engagechat #LivePDNation
  • skrish2017 Nov 9 @ 9:47 PM EST
    #edchatph Haha..interesting metaphor. But I have seen from experience that kids dont stop learning. They cant, as humans. If they are disengaged with our class content then we know the static is not their learning, but our teaching. So we are the ones with mosquito issues. :)
