    Enrichment programs often are tacked on as an afterthought and don’t compliment the curriculum fully. Is this true? #INZPirED
  • Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Feb 17 @ 9:35 PM EST
    1/2 Our hope is that the Climate Club will become more student-driven, so we're really encouraging them to take ownership #INZPirED
  • bakshiaarti Feb 17 @ 9:35 PM EST
    Good morning #INZPirED: our enriched twitter journey ; thought provoking

    #INZPirED Good morning...enriching programs...Ss think on the bigger community level...equally necessary is to imbibe at basic self level 2
  • Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Feb 17 @ 9:39 PM EST
    I think that is sometimes the case, they can appear to be a box-ticking exercise #INZPirED

    Often clubs live and die by the people that run them. Some great ideas but poor implementation. #INZPirED
    In reply to @bakshiaarti
  • Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Feb 17 @ 9:42 PM EST
    Tech helps a lot too - I used G-forms to canvas Ss opinions - what did they want for their working lunch :) #INZPirED
    In reply to @VipulaSharma1

    #INZPirED do agree; but some leave sparks that Ss lead, seen in music clubs

    Morning Kriti. Sometimes I look at the Ss enthusiasm for clubs and am at awe with how much choice impacts learning. #INZPirED
    In reply to @NigamKriti
  • Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Feb 17 @ 9:43 PM EST
    Are they after-school programs? Our Ss have a lot of extra tuition, so that's why we are trying working lunches #INZPirED
    In reply to @KSThakral
  • KSThakral - Moderator Feb 17 @ 9:44 PM EST
    Coordination does seem to focus on managing rather than tracking. Same kids…same clubs and so on. #INZPirED

  • NigamKriti Feb 17 @ 9:44 PM EST
    #INZPired The clubs are for some a big emotional outlet, creative expression of feelings and an out for need to conform

    Interest/ownwership does play a huge part along with choice. Can’t keep a healthy interest down for long. #INZPirED

    These are in school ones though I have a major issue with working lunch programs. Some of my kids have too many #INZPirED
    In reply to @Ajarn_Adam
  • Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Feb 17 @ 9:47 PM EST
    Agreed, it is a risk if some Ss try to do all clubs to get a better resume, but it does happen #INZPirED
    In reply to @KSThakral, @VipulaSharma1
  • bakshiaarti Feb 17 @ 9:48 PM EST
    #INZPirED that's where Ss voice, in depth discussions, brain storming at regular intervals, may do the trick

    #INZPirED Should make them link up with our TechWiz team. Your never know what they might cook up together. Hmmmm.
  • VipulaSharma1 Feb 17 @ 9:50 PM EST
    a lovely working incentive, we all need them - people need to eat together to build that sense of community #inzpired
    In reply to @Ajarn_Adam
  • Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Feb 17 @ 9:50 PM EST
    Ours is the only one at the moment! Plus it gives Ss a break from the unpopular school lunches! #INZPirED
    In reply to @KSThakral
  • ApraRalli Feb 17 @ 9:50 PM EST
    #INZPirED good morning all. Engaging Ss has to start at an early age...The Middle school should encourage Ss leadership in projects etc.

    In reply to @ApraRalli
  • JKatzaman Feb 17 @ 9:54 PM EST
    Having a tie to school curriculum makes any program relevant, which is why enrichment programs shouldn't be designed in a vacuum. #INZPirED
  • KSThakral - Moderator Feb 17 @ 9:56 PM EST
    In between choirs & what not. It can quickly escalate into too many. Guess that is the other end of the spectrum. #INZPirED

    Anyone else experiencing issues with Twitter this morning #inzpired Mine has a mind of its own this morning, keeps moving me on to posts
  • Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Feb 17 @ 9:57 PM EST
    A friend of mine at school runs a book club to encourage our EAL Ss to read for pleasure, they also have trips ex. plays #INZPirED
  • KSThakral - Moderator Feb 17 @ 9:57 PM EST
    The enrichment coordinator needs to focus on this in order to strike a balance. Get everyone involved #INZPirED

    #INZPirED Will look it up and point them in this direction.
  • Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Feb 17 @ 9:59 PM EST
    Also what is the frequency - we're going to have monthly meetings, but Ss will do weather observations more regularly #INZPirED
    In reply to @KSThakral
  • bakshiaarti Feb 17 @ 9:59 PM EST
    #INZPirED enrichment coordinator, like the idea totally
    In reply to @KSThakral, @Ajarn_Adam, @VipulaSharma1
  • JKatzaman Feb 17 @ 9:59 PM EST
    Clubs are OK, but by definition exclusive. Enrichment programs should be unrestricted on number of students and ability to pay. #INZPirED
  • KSThakral - Moderator Feb 17 @ 9:59 PM EST
    Often in their enthusiasm kids do sign up for a lot & struggle but that is learning too. #INZPirED

    Our Climate Club is voluntary, but open to anyone at no cost, might get tricky if we were oversubscribed though! #INZPirED

  • Ajarn_Adam - Moderator Feb 17 @ 10:04 PM EST
    That is a risk. That's why I think it's good to have an informal, relaxed approach #INZPirED
    In reply to @NigamKriti, @bakshiaarti, @KSThakral
  • JKatzaman Feb 17 @ 10:05 PM EST
    Enrichment programs should be coordinated with parents. In some cases students might burn out from parents pushing too hard. #INZPirED
  • MPatel_1 Feb 17 @ 10:05 PM EST
    Enrichment Programs should be student driven & let S's dive deeper into their passion... supporting their growth & wellnes #inzpired
