A1: working w ea. grade's numeracy lead to plan-for-learning mtgs. Mindset of school, teachers to engage in shared, prof learning. #TCMchat

zack_hill Mar 8 @ 9:10 PM EST

A1 I've used video clips in face to face sessions because it creates a safe way to closely examine practice in a relevant context. #TCMchat

Q1 How do you (or your colleagues) create #math professional learning opportunities? #TCMchat #MathPLC

zack_hill Mar 8 @ 9:15 PM EST

A2 S's doing the thinking with the T facilitating just enough in order to stay out of the way of S's engaging in the practices. #TCMchat

pearse_margie Mar 8 @ 9:17 PM EST

A1 In 1st, Ss were learning equivalence & were set to task investigating Ss had 2 persevere, be precise, look 4 generalization, etc.#tcmchat

zack_hill Mar 8 @ 9:18 PM EST

Nice! I love lesson study. It seems like the video clubs had a similar focus on evidence of student understanding. #TCMchat

In reply to @_barry_rust_

megyzr Mar 8 @ 9:18 PM EST

A2: MP are embedded throughout or instructional materials - Ts can identify ahead of unit, talk through & focus on S learning #TCMchat

reneelynnsnyder Mar 8 @ 9:19 PM EST

A2: SMPs develop thru tasks as Ss productively struggle, grapple w/concepts, reflect on and refine thinking/ideas, make conjectures #TCMchat

TCM_at_NCTM - Moderator Mar 8 @ 9:20 PM EST

Q3 What suggestions do you have for ensuring that collegial discussions on teaching and learning focus on evidence of Ss’ thinking? #TCMchat

_barry_rust_ Mar 8 @ 9:20 PM EST

Agree! I loved imagining doing this video work with my Ts and that question made me see the connection between the two. #TCMchat

In reply to @zack_hill

megyzr Mar 8 @ 9:22 PM EST

A2(b): S awareness of "how mathematicians think" and what that looks like; T models MPs, Ss engage. Equal importance on MP #TCMchat

CindyCliche1 Mar 8 @ 9:22 PM EST

Q3: Important to let educators know before video that the focus is on student learning. Begin with the end in mind. #tcmchat

Zakchamp Mar 8 @ 9:22 PM EST

A3: Allow for time to talk about those things. Give teachers the opportunity to discuss. Then, move to student thinking #TCMChat

reneelynnsnyder Mar 8 @ 9:23 PM EST

A3: Focus on content, progressions, and what Ss are able to do in order to support them across the continuum of learning #TCMchat

MandyMathEd Mar 8 @ 9:23 PM EST

A3 I've been surprised to find structured prompts / sentence starters are as helpful for adults as they are for younger learners! #TCMchat

Zakchamp Mar 8 @ 9:23 PM EST

Big fan of this suggestion too. Tell participants what to look for and listen for before the discussion. Provide focus in advance. #TCMChat

.@Zakchamp sounds like the open sharing that took place first in the article #TCMchat

In reply to @Zakchamp

_barry_rust_ Mar 8 @ 9:24 PM EST

A2 Many ways we try. One thing is providing the same concrete tools for range of topics, trying to make connections when we can. #tcmchat

zack_hill Mar 8 @ 9:24 PM EST

A3 Norms, carefully planned questions from facilitator, and asking permission to go somewhere unplanned with the conversation. #TCMchat

reneelynnsnyder Mar 8 @ 9:24 PM EST

Critical Friends r imperative 2 have professional convos that challenge thinking, ultimately impacting Ss lrning @devin_andersond #TCMchat

In reply to @devin_andersond

A3: third point data is S work, questions guide focus/convo, protocols for LASW - becomes "what we do" as part of prof T&L practice #TCMchat

MrsG2nd Mar 8 @ 9:25 PM EST

I think this is important because it acknowledges these are variables connected to their real classroom; then move on. #tcmchat

In reply to @Zakchamp

_barry_rust_ Mar 8 @ 9:27 PM EST

Yes! I can find myself wishing for a sentence starter when I'm asked to talk about something new or in a new way #TCMchat

In reply to @MandyMathEd

mpershan Mar 8 @ 9:27 PM EST

Also, the current #tcmchat feels a bit like the sort of chat you might host, if I understand things correctly?

In reply to @getting_sharper

agreed! We have Norms for Collaboration schoolwide, used to guide prof convo/work, etc @AdaptiveSchools #tcmchat

In reply to @zack_hill, @AdaptiveSchools

MandyMathEd Mar 8 @ 9:28 PM EST

I've appreciated opportunities to play with sentence starters as a learner, too - helps me try on new ideas. #TCMchat

there is a #TCMchat happening right now. :)

In reply to @mpershan, @getting_sharper

_barry_rust_ Mar 8 @ 9:29 PM EST

A3 My experience with lesson study has been that its helpful to start with a goal that everyone has agreed on at the outset #tcmchat

Q4 What questions do you have about video clubs? What kinds of video would be helpful to watch in your work? #TCMChat #EdTech

Zakchamp Mar 8 @ 9:31 PM EST

A4: I'm a fan of videos that show student thinking. In my opinion, that's where the real discussion happens. #TCMChat

megyzr Mar 8 @ 9:32 PM EST

educators "walk" through practice w/5-7 min obs, set of guiding Qs focus/purpose, reflection - "rounds" in med world. #tcmchat

MandyMathEd Mar 8 @ 9:34 PM EST

Here are norms for video-based discussion shared by Hilda Borko at @TDGMath last week. #TCMchat

Norms for video-based discussion #tdgmath2017

CindyCliche1 Mar 8 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4: Used student videos today with teachers to show place value understanding. Great discussions, questions, and next steps. #tcmchat

Zakchamp Mar 8 @ 9:35 PM EST

You nailed it buddy. So often we see only videos of Caucasian, affluent students solving problems. #TCMChat

In reply to @DrKChilds

megyzr Mar 8 @ 9:35 PM EST

A4: our coaching work is to meet Ts where they are, T might look at clips of their own prac only. I'd like to nudge video clubs. #TCMchat

MandyMathEd Mar 8 @ 9:36 PM EST

yes, when the video club addressed aspects of classroom engagement that cut across grade bands #TCMchat

In reply to @reneelynnsnyder

CindyCliche1 Mar 8 @ 9:36 PM EST

A4: What length of time works best for the videos? #tcmchat

MrsG2nd Mar 8 @ 9:36 PM EST

A4 depends on learning goal. I agree watching videos of students is HUGE, discuss misconceptions, etc. Can't dig as deep in class. #TCMchat

_barry_rust_ Mar 8 @ 9:36 PM EST

A4 The article mentions the EM site as a source for videos. Any other good ones? Like starting with neutral vids b/f taping ourslvs #tcmchat

Zakchamp Mar 8 @ 9:37 PM EST

Yep! And they want to see the students that are representative of our country. Not just the country clubs. #TCMChat

In reply to @DrKChilds

megyzr Mar 8 @ 9:37 PM EST

I like these - remind me of third point data and not personalization of T her/himself. #tcmchat

In reply to @MandyMathEd, @TDGMath

Zakchamp Mar 8 @ 9:38 PM EST

Great question! My vote is 2-3 minutes. What do others think? #TCMChat

CindyCliche1 Mar 8 @ 9:36 PM EST

A4: What length of time works best for the videos? #tcmchat

professorteds Mar 8 @ 9:39 PM EST

When teachers watch videos of each other teach, how does pride and teacher identity affect their discussion? #TCMchat

In reply to @TCM_at_NCTM

DrKChilds Mar 8 @ 9:39 PM EST

What's funny when Ts see diverse Ss, they are still nonbelievers. That's when u have to model teach in their classroom to show them #tcmchat

Yep! And they want to see the students that are representative of our country. Not just the country clubs. #TCMChat

our materials (Everyday Math) provide them for Ts and offer Virtual Lrng Cmty for Ts to share. Another is @mburnsmath #tcmchat

In reply to @_barry_rust_, @mburnsmath

@CindyCliche1 Agreed. Max 3 minutes for a video. Especially when doing online video clubs #TCMchat

In reply to @Zakchamp, @CindyCliche1

reneelynnsnyder Mar 8 @ 9:40 PM EST

A4: I think it would b interesting 2 c Ss at difrnt grade levels solve the same problem and use S work 2 have content convo w/ Ts #tcmchat

megbates_stemed Mar 8 @ 9:41 PM EST

We like 2-3 minutes as well; no longer than 5! #TCMChat

In reply to @Zakchamp

Q5 How might video clubs support teachers in making sense of the math practices? #TCMchat

Zakchamp Mar 8 @ 9:42 PM EST

So true. I can only take so much of "my kids can't'" before it becomes, "well, can I come teach your kids?" #TCMChat

In reply to @DrKChilds

zack_hill Mar 8 @ 9:44 PM EST

Yes, so important for T's to see evidence of S reasoning and commit to what MP they think they're seeing w/ evidence. #TCMchat

In reply to @DrKChilds

MandyMathEd Mar 8 @ 9:44 PM EST

.@DrKChilds trying to see and identify the practices is a way of starting to make sense of them. #TCMchat

In reply to @DrKChilds

professorteds Mar 8 @ 9:44 PM EST

Yeah, I've found that Ts have hard time engaging in talk when video is about their kid or own teaching. #TCMchat

In reply to @MandyMathEd

megyzr Mar 8 @ 9:44 PM EST

using data point to separate the facilitator from the data; maintains neutrality. Safely talk about data, not person. #tcmchat

Zakchamp Mar 8 @ 9:44 PM EST

Thanks for this Theodore! I'll adjust my language for sure. I appreciate you calling it out. #TCMChat

Hey Zak, just an FYI that some find the term "Caucasian" problematic b/c implies race as biological. I use "white"
In reply to @Zakchamp, @DrKChilds

I've seen this too - the teacher on video is quiet. When it's likely that they have the most to share. #TCMChat

In reply to @professorteds, @MandyMathEd

MandyMathEd Mar 8 @ 9:47 PM EST

Tonight's #TCMchat is my first attempt at a Twitter chat. I'm finding it hard to remember the hashtag, but not too hard to follow along. FUN

megyzr Mar 8 @ 9:48 PM EST

A5: see/hear in action, discuss what Ss are doing, Ts reflect/think again. Look for opps to share model of what it looks like #TCMchat

professorteds Mar 8 @ 9:48 PM EST

A5 I like to use the metaphor of videos as "windows" into another world of practice. Allow Ts to see children's math thinking #TCMchat
