    Eric, Elementary AP, from MO glad to have made it tonight for #waledchat. @renathunderhawk hope you can join! If I were in a food eating contest it would be for BBQ ribs. I don't usually order ribs but something about food eating contest and a pile of ribs sounds right.

  • MrPStrunk - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:05 PM EDT
    Q1: Though it is both, do you believe teaching is more a science or an art? #waledchat
  • Woodshopcowboy Sep 13 @ 9:05 PM EDT
    Q1: Teaching is a craft. Craft is the application of a set of techniques, developed with science and often incorporates an art. #gottabedifferent #waledchat #teched #seeyouintheworkshop #makered #makerchat

    HI #waledchat Kelli in Indiana SpEd T specializing in autism, specific learning disabilities. Can snowcones be a valid food eating contest? If so, I'm ur winner but can put up a good fight with the rest of u pizza eaters.
  • loliveira55 Sep 13 @ 9:05 PM EDT
    Hello everyone. My name is Luis. I'm a HS ELL teacher, tech coach, and director. I think that any respectful eating contest has to include coconut cake or pie. #waledchat
  • MrPStrunk - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:06 PM EDT
    A1: Had this as a big discussion when I was in college. Definitely inclined to believe it is more of an art. #waledchat
  • megan_hacholski Sep 13 @ 9:06 PM EDT
    A1: I believe teaching is more of an art. There is an ebb & flow to our daily routines that requires more a softness and flexibility than science can sometimes offer. #waledchat
  • ScottLewisITC Sep 13 @ 9:06 PM EDT
    A1: There is science involved, but teaching is definitely an art. #waledchat

  • Hessteacherest Sep 13 @ 9:06 PM EDT
    A1: it’s both, really! Science is what makes the details matter and art I what makes it interesting. #waledchat
  • PHausTech Sep 13 @ 9:07 PM EDT
    A1: I think that great teaching may just be more of an art. The amazing learning often doesn't come from the script or the comfort zone, it comes from the improvisation and spontaneous moments. #waledchat
  • MrsAsztalos Sep 13 @ 9:07 PM EDT
    Hi #waledchat. Just popping in to say hello. I still have 3 more sets of learning journals to give feedback to before bed, so no time to chat tonight! Hope everyone is well. I hope to join you all next week.

    Pizza is my love language! #waledchat
    In reply to @mrssim19
  • Eric_Carlin Sep 13 @ 9:07 PM EDT
    A1: Teaching is not only about content but the context you bring it. Same with the the science and art. You can be an expert at something but it could mean nothing to students if its not presented in the right way. #waledchat
  • MrPStrunk - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:07 PM EDT
    Welcome, Kelli! #waledchat
    In reply to @ksuding
  • TziriLamm Sep 13 @ 9:07 PM EDT
    A1: I think it's a scientifically-inspired art form. Teaching needs to be built on a foundation of solid pedagogy, but the magic and the beauty is whatever comes beyond that. #waledchat
  • Shapiro_WTHS Sep 13 @ 9:07 PM EDT
    A1 - Teaching is both, but teaching with passion and excellence is much more of an Art. Loving kids and developing there passion is not Science. It’s an internal motivation to make a difference. Assessing and understanding brain development is Science. #waledchat
  • loliveira55 Sep 13 @ 9:07 PM EDT
    A1 I think teaching is an art form with all the creativity that is required but it is also a science especially with the need for data analysis to help students. #waledchat
  • ERobbPrincipal Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1 Both art and science- always has been #waledchat @MrPStrunk
  • MrPStrunk - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    Don't stress forgetting about #waledchat! Sign up for text alerts!
  • peterdboland Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: Science in this sense of data, metrics, assessment, everything else is art... #waledchat
  • WaltKozlowski Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: It is an ART to connect with students, make learning relevant, and lead a classroom of personalities toward goals some of them don’t care much about. #waledchat
  • ksuding Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: I say art AND science is a pretty good & healthy marriage in teaching. You need both. #waledchat
  • mrssim19 Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: I look at teaching as more of an art than a science #waledchat
  • ebrown0789 Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: I believe it’s more an art. Teachers must be able to adapt to any number of situations, and be ready to scrap their plan at a moments notice if that’s what the kids need. #waledchat
  • MrPStrunk - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    Hahaha, was very curious to see where people would go with this Q! #waledchat
    In reply to @Beyond_the_Desk
  • KristenSevinsky Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    Oh... and CHOCOLATE CAKE!!!!! How did I miss that in the intros?!! It’s only my favorite answer everrrrrrrr!!! #waledchat
  • mrsmastracchio Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: I look at it through the lens of an artist. Each year we get a fresh tapestry to leave our mark on. We create a masterpiece with each new class. Everyone contributes in their own unique way. #waledchat
  • MrPStrunk - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    Love this answer, Walt! #waledchat
    In reply to @WaltKozlowski
  • Jennifer_Manly Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: Definitely an art! It’s science too, of course, but when we classify it as a science, we prioritize data at the expense fun. Without the fun, kids struggle to hang on to that love of learning. IMO, creativity (the art!) is our secret sauce. #waledchat
  • DramaLitandTech Sep 13 @ 9:08 PM EDT
    A1: I believe it is both. The art is the actual “performance “ of teaching, but the analyses, the data collection that we use to inform is science. The older I get, the harder it is for me to separate art and science period. There is so much of each in both. #waledchat
  • HowardKiyuna Sep 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    I think teaching the artful act of scientific observation. #waledchat
  • ToddRisser Sep 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: if I had to pick, I would say more of an art. The way a lesson is designed and presented can get students excited or turned off. Creativity often drives passion and a desire to learn. #waledchat
  • renathunderhawk Sep 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    Teaching has so much feeling and emotion involved, that I am going with art! #waledchat @Eric_Carlin, those green screen creations are true art!! The data drives the art.
  • 4XSoccermom Sep 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1 Hmmm that's tough. Science in the data, info, questioning, etc. Art in the delivery, creativity, etc. Can you have 1 without the other in education? LOL call it a cop-out #waledchat
  • CoachGoodman Sep 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1: Its more of an art ( even though its both) because we teach diverse students. #waledchat
  • MrPStrunk - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    I've been looking for the first science answer! Great reasoning behind your answer! #waledchat
    In reply to @peterdboland
  • gdorn1 Sep 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT
    A1. If you want to term teaching as a science and different techniques and pathways which are shared and learned, along with the arts of putting together lessons and how to present them to engage those Ss,. #waledchat
  • MrPStrunk - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    Q2: What ways do you approach/view teaching as an art? #waledchat
  • Shapiro_WTHS Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1b - I’d add that students who remember most of their favorite teachers rarely speak about a quiz or a test. They speak about relationships, kindness, believing in them. That’s the Art of caring/teaching. #waledchat
  • ksuding Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    Ah, and it's worded that we HAVE to pick one or the other! Well played. I'm struggling now. ha #waledchat
    In reply to @MrPStrunk, @Beyond_the_Desk
  • MrPStrunk - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    Absolutely. We'll be reflecting on both tonight! #waledchat
    In reply to @ksuding
  • ItsAMrY Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    Teaching is an art, informed by science. The best teaching is a passionate expression of the T...an art that cannot be replicated. But it also includes practices informed by research. Every S has a brain...and they all work pretty much the same. Know the subject! #waledchat
  • MissMeyerITJHS Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    #waledchat A1: Science through all the data and content. The art is making it meaningful and relevant to our students.
  • LindaEdwardsi Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1 I think teaching is more art, you need to be creative, flexible, spontaneous. You need to ❤️ people and value relationships #waledchat
  • PrincipalRLA Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1 you have to have both and that is what makes it difficult for many. You can know content and be very intelligent but have zero passion and no love for the kids so that knowledge is wasted. #waledchat
  • peterdboland Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    A1: Ya know, I’m not so sure there’s much of a difference between art and science in the first place... #waledchat
  • Eric_Carlin Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    And the artistry is about to begin again! @DoInkTweets #waledchat #warriorscreate
    • renathunderhawk Sep 13 @ 9:09 PM EDT
      Teaching has so much feeling and emotion involved, that I am going with art! #waledchat @Eric_Carlin, those green screen creations are true art!! The data drives the art.
  • MrPStrunk - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:10 PM EDT
    Love the imagery of this response! #waledchat
    In reply to @mrsmastracchio
  • MrPStrunk - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A2: I think through the ways that I build relationships with my students. There is no real science behind it because every student is different. Those relationships help me when I start to plan instructional activities to find something I think they will like. #waledchat
  • ScottLewisITC Sep 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A2: You can teach someone content and how to collect and analyze data. The art comes in when you build relationships, create an atmosphere of deep learning, collaboration, and respect. #waledchat.
  • megan_hacholski Sep 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A2: Teaching is an art because it requires immense creativity and open-mindedness. We must be willing to try new things without fear of what the final "painting" might look like. #waledchat
  • Flood1Tracy Sep 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A1: Definitely both, but more of an art. Just following a formula won’t do the trick, the relationship building is an art. #waledchat
  • Beyond_the_Desk Sep 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A2: The creativity required to reach every student, every day, is where I see art in teaching the most. #waledchat
  • ebrown0789 Sep 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    Yes! And a lesson that went perfectly with one class may be a disaster with the next. #waledchat
    In reply to @mrsmastracchio
  • ToddRisser Sep 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    A2: many times keeping the content the same but changing up the presentation to make it more appealing to students. #waledchat
  • Beyond_the_Desk Sep 13 @ 9:11 PM EDT
    Yep. I chose to dodge it completely. 😉 #waledchat
    In reply to @ksuding, @MrPStrunk
  • PHausTech Sep 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A2: For me, approaching as art is fostering and modeling creativity and multiple pathways to get to the goal. #waledchat

    A2. Effective relationships: Art of teaching - the foundation for an effective class and part of the art of teaching #waledchat

  • MrPStrunk - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    Lol you're not the only one! Just wanted to see how everyone was feeling about it before we started reflecting on both. lol #waledchat
    In reply to @Beyond_the_Desk, @ksuding
  • TziriLamm Sep 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A2: Creativity. At every turn and in every way - we need to be creative and creators and we need to help our students become the same. #waledchat
  • KristenSevinsky Sep 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A1: Art. You can have the best lesson plans but if you aren’t going to scream “This girl is on fire” to you students every now and then are you really teaching? 😂 #askingforafriend #waledchat
  • Shapiro_WTHS Sep 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    A2 - How you plan class. Getting to know names, developing empathy, class community and how students love your class. It’s about creating a place where every student fetid like they are special. #waledchat
  • MrPStrunk - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:12 PM EDT
    Yes! You can't underestimate the art of building relationships! #waledchat

  • ksuding Sep 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A2: The art is creativity of universally designing ur instruction & environment 4 ur Ss. Better yet, WITH ur students #waledchat
  • peterdboland Sep 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A2: Constant creativity, tweaking, collaborating, improvising, rehearsing, adding, taking away... #waledchat
  • Flood1Tracy Sep 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A2: You need to incorporate your own style, and adjust along the way when the results aren’t what you hoped. It’s an ongoing process rather than just a finished product. #waledchat

  • Eric_Carlin Sep 13 @ 9:13 PM EDT
    A2: Just like during the interview process certain canidates have a way about them that stands out. Ts and Admin need to take their passions and use them in their craft of educating Ss. Seek out opportunites to empower students! @renathunderhawk #ShareMOEdu #waledchat

    A2b - The Science is also Art. Learning when to listen, ask questions, take breaks, raise the bar. Those are Science based, but Artfully accomplished. #waledchat
  • DramaLitandTech Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A2: I teach drams, so it’s easy to say it’s all art, but the art for me is when I have the independent, small group and cooperative groups going at the same time and the technology is supporting all of it and providing me with@formative assessments and after all.......#waledchat
  • hayes_melisa Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    Hi #waledchat been busy scheduling Mystery Skypes for year & forgot about the chat😮 Melisa from Ohio dropping in late
  • ebrown0789 Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A2: Being flexible, and willing to go where the Ss lead. It may not follow the curriculum, but we have to nurture their curiosity and show Ss they’re our priority, not the standards. #waledchat
  • renathunderhawk Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A2: Ts, like dancers, musicians, painters, & performers, introduce a concept or lesson & then move according to their students’ passions and interests. Ts are the ultimate improvisers-It is their ability to adapt & create that inspires & educates Ss. #waledchat
  • MarisaEThompson Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A1 It’s an art. There are scientific elements and I’m often experimenting, but it’s an art. #waledchat
  • gdorn1 Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    Teaching is an art as to how you present the information that you are teaching to the Ss! Are you dressing up in characters, or performing an experiment, or changing the environment for a lesson in inquiry! #waledchat
  • CoachGoodman Sep 13 @ 9:14 PM EDT
    A2: Naturally I teach with the end in mind. This allows me to look at the different needs of my students which includes planning for diversity. #waledchat
  • MrPStrunk - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    Q3: What ways do you approach/view teaching as a science? #waledchat
  • ItsAMrY Sep 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    The art of acting, like teaching, means having a plan...but also listening, RE-acting, responding to what's happening on the stage while staying in character. Teaching is a performance art. #waledchat
  • MrPStrunk - Moderator Sep 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT

    A2: View each student as a sculptor. As they build their knowledge, they change just like when you take a piece of clay and create something beautiful. Each student sculpts their own learning and we work as their guide/mentor through this process. #waledchat
  • mrssim19 Sep 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT
    A2: Teaching is an art when we have to think quickly on our feet when a lesson plan doesn't work out or when you have to apply an intervention for a Ss on the fly. Those are the elements that take time to develop, similarly to the techniques artists refund over time #waledchat
  • HowardKiyuna Sep 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT

    A2: Teaching is like being a rock star: In the summer you prepare, rehearse, perhaps do something directly teacher related (your solo club dates. PD before school is rehearsal. We’re at it for nine months (like being on tour)... #waledchat
  • DramaLitandTech Sep 13 @ 9:15 PM EDT

  • PrincipalRLA Sep 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT
    A2 art is the presentation, the passion behind that presentation and the way you connect and build relationships with Ss. It’s how Ts inspire Ss to fall in love with reading and become creators. #waledchat
  • 4XSoccermom Sep 13 @ 9:16 PM EDT

  • Shapiro_WTHS Sep 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    One final piece on the Art of Teaching. You can teach a teacher tech, objectives, lessons, assessments. You can’t teach how much they care and will take risks for learning. Passion and persistence are about how much we love kids. #waledchat
  • KristenSevinsky Sep 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT
    A2: it’s the moments in between teaching. The pink cowbell and obsession with pink and chocolate cake. It’s when I cry laughing at something or sing to them. It’s how you throw in movie quotes “hey you two look up here.” #waledchat
  • TziriLamm Sep 13 @ 9:17 PM EDT

    A3: it’s about analyzing data, making connections and creating action based upon the data. In other words, find out what helps students learn and stick to it. #waledchat
  • 4XSoccermom Sep 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A3 collecting and reading the data, then using it to move forward. Asking the right questions and then planning to find the answers that I need. Realizing that it is a trial and error, it might not happen the 1st time, I will need to revisit and plan again. #waledchat

  • mrsmastracchio Sep 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT
    A3: Teaching and learning can be looked at through the lens of a scientist because real learning touches all of our senses. Lessons stick best when we ignite learning through the senses. Use something to see, hear, touch, smell or taste to hook your students. #waledchat #tlap
  • ebrown0789 Sep 13 @ 9:18 PM EDT

  • gdorn1 Sep 13 @ 9:19 PM EDT

  • khoggardGRT Sep 13 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A3 Teaching is a science with regard to understanding how people learn and ways to connect to them... there is def science behind understanding brains and using them to their true potential #waledchat
  • Shapiro_WTHS Sep 13 @ 9:19 PM EDT
    A3 - I view Science around the brain and observing students. Instruction must be articulated to where students currently are, not where you want them to be. Gauging pacing, re-teaching and assessing is how Science leads to Mastery. #waledchat

    In reply to @megan_hacholski
  • DramaLitandTech Sep 13 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A3: The science is when I watch the videos, look at the formative assessments, consult w/ the ss, and watch the rehearsals, and then “diagnose” where each s needs to go next to achieve mastery of the skill we are learning, and which Ss have mastered & can go farther. #waledchat
  • LindaEdwardsi Sep 13 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A3 You have to do a lot analysis in teaching, figuring out what’s driving behaviour, what students know and what they are still learning etc., #waledchat

  • ItsAMrY Sep 13 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    Every day, every S brings their brain to class. We change those brains. BRAINS WORK THE SAME. It is, IMO, a duty for teachers to learn how the brain works/learns. (Pro-tip: Most of what we experienced as Ss..doesn't help. We need to be better!) #waledchat
  • mrssim19 Sep 13 @ 9:20 PM EDT
    A3: The science-y part of teaching is the pedagogy piece - the strategies used for vocab, note-taking, questioning, etc. - the strategies that are backed by data #waledchat

    A3: the materials I give them, leading them to make great observations. the order I structure and order d the lessons or units. The directions I give (or don’t give) how I seat the ss. The choices I give them. The questions I ask them. #waledchat
  • TziriLamm Sep 13 @ 9:22 PM EDT
    A4: Do I have to choose? I do my best to always learn more in both! And when I teach preservice teachers I stress both as well. But - it's all about taking small, manageable steps. What's something I can do tomorrow that's just a bit better than what I did today? #waledchat
