@nalang1 A1: Critical thinking really stretches the mind in a new way...thinking that gives the brain a real workout. #divergED

@SeanAThom I’ll think on it… #divergED

A2: Some big obstacles include: Time Difficulty in grading Standardized testing #divergED

SeanAThom Jul 19 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: Not enough time in the day for these opps. Too much focus on teaching the standards & to test & not encouraging questioning. #divergED

bklip136 Jul 19 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: Time, lack of resources, and few school-based "experts" in the field to help guide others #divergED

memayer21 Jul 19 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2-biggest issue I see is the need to "cover" S and T need chance to truly explore content to reach these skills #divergED

techwnancy Jul 19 @ 8:14 PM EDT

21stCenPrinKW Jul 19 @ 8:14 PM EDT

jankenb2 Jul 19 @ 8:15 PM EDT

@nalang1 #divergEd Content driven curric vs process. Viewing content as the measure of cognition reqs superficial coverage vs deep process.

Jonharper70bd Jul 19 @ 8:15 PM EDT

#divergED a2. Too often students are given questions instead of asked to question. They also need time and space and freedom to fail.

@mdeHSD It takes an educator that's truly comfortable in their skin to allow Ss to ask anything & everything. This fosters growth! #divergED

@SFPrincipal Yes, time bc of testing is a big barrier! And time bc teachers worry and teach to test more so than to Ss sometimes #divergED

@SeanAThom I am never afraid to jump ship and go in a new direction. #diverged

21stCenPrinKW Jul 19 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3. Reflection and time for Ss to actually be and not Perform will foster critical thinking #divergED https://t.co/Ot03ojq7Fl

SFPrincipal Jul 19 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3 Project based learning including makerspace gets students to think and create, not regurgitate. #divergED

MrMikeKauf Jul 19 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3-Give Ss actual authentic problems to solve and build in meaningful reflection. Always good to teach strategies as well #divergED

mgrosstaylor Jul 19 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: Most important factor-give Ts time to truly teach for deeper understanding & Ss time to show mastery. #divergED https://t.co/ebdP6bEetN

SeanAThom Jul 19 @ 8:21 PM EDT

@nalang1 @mgrosstaylor Seriously! Loving the #divergED lineup tonight! We have @techwnancy & @teresagross625 in the house too!

mdeHSD Jul 19 @ 8:21 PM EDT

A3: Another strategy is for Ts to simply be available around room during S discussion of problem to further their thinking. #divergED

bklip136 Jul 19 @ 8:22 PM EDT

@matthew_arend totally agree! SS need to have that driving question to guide engagement! #divergED

WeberEducation - Moderator Jul 19 @ 8:22 PM EDT

A3: Need focused curr, quality tasks, S voice, & prod struggle, with T facilitating learning, to embed more crit think & prob solv #divergED

A3: See the "system" as a friend rather than foe. Embrace standards for allowing Ss to delve deep into topics of interest. #divergED

tacyea Jul 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: dive deep into topic of interest & include choice. Provide variety of resources and learning experiences to grow knowledge #divergED

DCulberhouse Jul 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

We must get better at teaching our students and adults to ask better questions...to grapple in the VUCA. This is an adaptive shift #divergED

A3: Deeper understanding, visible learning and assessing (formative), collaborative learning, building a learning culture of hope. #divergED

jessahanson Jul 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: S's need time to think for themselves and not be told what to think. At the early childhood level the adults/peers model this. #diverged

STEM_savvygirls Jul 19 @ 8:23 PM EDT

A3: Student must know their voice matters and have freedom to take risks in thinking. Environment must be cultivated. #divergED

@techwnancy I would agree completely! I hear T say too often that they need to cover, we need to break that thought process #divergED

SeanAThom Jul 19 @ 8:26 PM EDT

A4: Reflection on what we do & how we can be better. Always room for improvement, but we have to find what is best for our Ss. #divergED

A4: Our next steps for more crit think & prob solv will be to commit to adult learning of transformative pedagogies & practices #divergED

A4: Next steps to honor PS is to focus on quality and not quantity. Ss can't do best thinking if their attention is diverted. #divergED
