Rodney History T from Reno...

awesome you could join us!
I'm Kaylee Fitzgerald, student at Academy of Arts Careers and Technology.
I try to balance T & S directed, choice & mandated, left/right brain, active/calm ... for them and for me!
A1 solid social emotional development ensures that academics are successful & vice versa Ying&Yang https://t.co/Cqng7lfiIf
Alex Carithers, medical student from AACT in reno
, a1, that's a challenge, it's important to focus on students social needs so they're successful in academics. It's a fine line
A1 in SEL lessons its easy 2 incorporate standards&creating a positive classroom env so Ss are always around positive SEL vibes
A1: SEL is my approach to my Ss hearts and academic content is my approach to their minds. Put both in a blender & drink it up!
Kenzie Machutta, S at Academy of Arts Careers and Technology
great to have you join us tonight Kenzie!
Better late than never...a1 one can provide context for the other. Does it matter which is first?
Grave Wallace, proud engineering student @ AACT
Healthy body healthy minds https://t.co/1oZ5aU1MJA
A1: SEL is my approach to my Ss hearts and academic content is my approach to their minds. Put both in a blender & drink it up!
Awesome that you could join us tonight!
A1: While rigor is important, Ss need to know we care about them
Great to have you join tonight!
A1: I think letting students know their effort is appreciated is very helpful, also helping students feel welcome in a class
Grace Wallace, proud engineering student @ AACT
relationships mean better learning https://t.co/HqjmZyBmIT
A1: While rigor is important, Ss need to know we care about them
A1 also, if we only taught them academics and no SEL then we would produce a bunch of terrible, rude smart people
A1: the best way is to be as friendly as possible without giving too much negative feedback
great point https://t.co/NmIKZuOCKC
A1 also, if we only taught them academics and no SEL then we would produce a bunch of terrible, rude smart people
Keep the ss engaged and learning, while making sure they're enjoying what they're learning and how. Make it engaging.
A1 in a way that stimulates my mind as well as the minds of others. Implement learning from other students.
A2: unfortunately it means I come in early & stay late
A2: you can make activities out of what you have to do to keep the students thinking and keep them entertained at the same time
A2 hmmm have to do and need to do are the same thing to me, I'm confused. Could I get some clarification? 🤔
A2: communicate with other Ts, share teaching styles and information, make the job a little easier on eachother
A1 -2 first yr Ss spent last week learning brain anatomy, also discussed their learning style which helps me know them
A2: I think its best to make choices in the curriculum that does both. We have to learn certain things but I still decide how!
I love the student input has Thanks to AACT! https://t.co/gRdtIrSaYr
A1: I think letting students know their effort is appreciated is very helpful, also helping students feel welcome in a class
I learn best in the classes that make me want to learn & think, and discussing my thoughts with others https://t.co/9g2SreDDxb

have to do are procedural things-need to do are those that are meaningful to you to improve practice https://t.co/69DHGyVsOy
A2 hmmm have to do and need to do are the same thing to me, I'm confused. Could I get some clarification? 🤔
A2 what HAS to be done is what needs to be done for students. 21st century skills
College career readiness. Be brave.
A2 ask the students their input on what is best suited in order to keep them engaged yet still be learning the material needed.
can you give example of a favorite activity
A2 if the "have to do" isn't meaningful I HAVE to make it meaningful. Doing meaningless stuff in my classroom gives me shivers
A2 we know we have paper work to do-but being in classes & interacting are the "have to" that create sustainable change
a2 I try to focus on what's best for SS and am trying to make sure I also accomplish what I have to do for admin/accountability
A-1 If we promote a growth mindset w/frequent form. assessments & ample feedback--Ss will take the risks & meet the challenge!
A2 so like "have to do" would attendance be an example of that? I make attendance into a quick fraction/percent activity.
whats your favorite project you ever did in school
exactly-how do we keep the "have to's" from controlling what's best for Ss https://t.co/UsDeKy5LD4
A2 so like "have to do" would attendance be an example of that? I make attendance into a quick fraction/percent activity.
Explore the content in multipule ways. I hope all my kiddos can say they never have any idea what activites we might do next.
it's like being on a balance beam most days
, a3, you wait until break and get all of your fun in
A3 I try your prioritize what needs to be done where and when. Some things can't be taken home and mos… https://t.co/tOla9yNAtW
A3 I get to school SUPER early(total morning person)but I hardly ever take work home.
A3: I think it's a matter of setting personal priorities up and trying to avoid procrastination as best as possible.
A3: you achieve a work life and personal life balance by setting aside a specific time for your work life
Now that's one I have no answer for yet. Still working on it. I preach it but can't seem to reach it. Goodnight friends.
A3: I get very little sleep, w/ all the hmwrk I get. I get no say in how I learn, so I do it or fail. So I sacrifice my time.
no worries you can always join in late
A3 there are certain days I leave everything there and just focus on my own kids love being a mom too https://t.co/RhFbuXQ0ap
A3: What is this homelife you speak of? Oh the place where I work from 5 to midnight. Oh that place...
A3 I try to prioritize what and where things need to get done. Some thing can't be taken home and most… https://t.co/oPCbeCIQtZ
A-2 I constantly try new ways to maximize classroom observations & visibility. Often means I'm in my office Sunday typing.
A3 learn to manage time and prioritize. School kind of consumes my life.
this is the sad truth for students today. https://t.co/E3Hkr8JCjE
A3: I get very little sleep, w/ all the hmwrk I get. I get no say in how I learn, so I do it or fail. So I sacrifice my time.
A3: Since this is my first time back in a classroom since 2007, I have yet to achieve any balance
