edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:09 PM EST

Ok, here comes our first #NHed question...

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:10 PM EST

#NHed Q1: We’ve heard the terms student agency, as well as voice & choice, but what does that look like in YOUR school?

audrallurvey Mar 6 @ 7:11 PM EST

A1: Being a 1st year LMS, I am finding my way. Inc. choice in my enrichment groups (gr 7-8) is how I am exploring #nhed

jcd118 Mar 6 @ 7:12 PM EST

A1 #geniushour where Ss choose to work on their passions which leads to empowerment & promotes Ss voice #nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:13 PM EST

#NHed @audrallurvey For those who aren't familiar, what does that look like? How could others do what you did?

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:13 PM EST

#NHed @jcd118 What sorts of projects have your students done?

audrallurvey Mar 6 @ 7:16 PM EST

A1 cont: I have tried a diff approach with each group. 4th rotation. #nhed

jcd118 Mar 6 @ 7:16 PM EST

Build computer, start busines, make ukulele, create logos, learn language, study space, teach about disability many others @edventures #nhed

csousanh Mar 6 @ 7:16 PM EST

Schoolwide we have two different student leadership groups. JS2S and student council. They have had several positive initiatives #nhed

jencole1975 Mar 6 @ 7:17 PM EST

Jen here-parent, community organizer, advocate for student centered learning, and early childhood educator #nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:17 PM EST

.@jcd118 Wow, that's quite the list! #NHed

audrallurvey Mar 6 @ 7:17 PM EST

1st group challenge was research and design a #BYOD policy and write an argument for your policy #nhed

guilfordt Mar 6 @ 7:17 PM EST

A1 When I have the library, I set up library centers(lego, k'nex, tinker toys, erector sets) and let have free choice- #nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:18 PM EST

Welcome to #NHed @jencole1975

jbhanlon Mar 6 @ 7:18 PM EST

A1: At SMS we have a Student Leadership council which brings the S body's concerns & wants to admin #nhed

jbhanlon Mar 6 @ 7:18 PM EST

We have a SKILLZ block where Ss choose Enrichments too:) #nhed

audrallurvey Mar 6 @ 7:19 PM EST

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:20 PM EST

#NHed Q2: What barriers to student agency, voice & choice exist in your learning spaces, and how might you approach changing them?

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:21 PM EST

SR from MA jumping in just in time for Q2 it seems! #nhed

jcd118 Mar 6 @ 7:21 PM EST

Best thing I have done in #ed in 20 yrs. Ss are empowered and amazing @edventures #nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:22 PM EST

@gallianstone I knew you'd be here! Always glad when I see your handle! #NHed

jencole1975 Mar 6 @ 7:22 PM EST

A1 in Pittsfield NH we have site counsil, extended learning opportunities, and restorative justicd. #nhed

csousanh Mar 6 @ 7:22 PM EST

A2 a mindset in Am Ed that we must cover a set curriculum vs student centered curriculum, although it's getting better. #nhed

jbhanlon Mar 6 @ 7:23 PM EST

A2: the biggest thing that kills choice for me is Time- we are always running out of time #nhed

audrallurvey Mar 6 @ 7:23 PM EST

#nhed https://t.co/t5U6TEPx2D

audrallurvey Mar 6 @ 7:23 PM EST

Currently working on #attaspire inventors challenge. https://t.co/ZmGmoLKW7P

jcd118 Mar 6 @ 7:24 PM EST

A2 attitudes on failure & change. I mentor/coach & encourage providing support to dispel fears #nhed

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:25 PM EST

A2. Our biggest barriers are #access barriers. Balancing building skills and creating #a11y - need both for authentic #stuvoice #nhed

audrallurvey Mar 6 @ 7:25 PM EST

@jcd118 Yes! The "I don't know what to do!" attitude. Hard to get past that sometimes #nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:25 PM EST

.@jencole1975 I like the restorative justice model, it is used quite a bit in Plymouth, NH as well via @the_cady_yaac #NHed

jencole1975 Mar 6 @ 7:25 PM EST

A2- I the biggest barrier in our community is class. We have a large population of low income and working poor which impacts access #nhed

guilfordt Mar 6 @ 7:25 PM EST

A2- loss of space to testing and technology lab and having to run around the school and try to present a program #nhed

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:25 PM EST

@audrallurvey @jcd118 which is frequently "I don't know what my options are" or "I don't know what I could do" #nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:26 PM EST

.@jencole1975 How can we change that? #NHed

jcd118 Mar 6 @ 7:26 PM EST

Yes, coaching & not always providing an answer is a difficult habit to get into! @audrallurvey #nhed

guilfordt Mar 6 @ 7:26 PM EST

A2- working on a solution- very disruptive and trying to get books into kid's hands #nhed

csousanh Mar 6 @ 7:27 PM EST

@audrallurvey @jcd118 or the "I've already tried that" attitude #nhed

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:27 PM EST

@jencole1975 It's amazing what you can find for free... I should know. Have you checked out the #GoOpen resources? #nhed (Is NH on board?)

csousanh Mar 6 @ 7:28 PM EST

@jencole1975 which is sad because public education should be the great equalizer. #nhed

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:28 PM EST

@guilfordt I so hear you on the loss of space problem.... #nhed

musiccargirl14 Mar 6 @ 7:28 PM EST

I feel when you instill a "failure is ok" attitude experimenting, speaking up, and leading become less scary #NHed

rjg_1978 Mar 6 @ 7:28 PM EST

A2: Hey all, nice 2 b back. My Ss mimic military hierarchy, I face issues with cadet ranks and how they listen/interact w/each other #NHed

jcd118 Mar 6 @ 7:29 PM EST

@csousanh @audrallurvey ahh that would be my older Ss! They seem to fear "freedom" when it is given. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:29 PM EST

.@gallianstone @jencole1975 My friend @StanFreeda might be able to answer that question. I believe NH is working towards #GoOpen #NHed

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:29 PM EST

@musiccargirl14 Sometimes it's not fear of risk, it's literal inibility to envision what could be - to think outside the box. #nhed

jencole1975 Mar 6 @ 7:29 PM EST

@edventures I am not sure how we change that - it is discussed frequently. How do we provide access to duel enrollment?#nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:30 PM EST

#NHed Q3: If we break through those barriers, what is the next step once student voice, choice & agency exist in your school?

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:30 PM EST

.@rjg_1978 What is your background? #NHed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:31 PM EST

.@jcd118 @csousanh @audrallurvey Yes, they've been in a world where they've been told what to do so long they can't think for self. #NHed

jcd118 Mar 6 @ 7:31 PM EST

A3 providing guidance & appropriate modeling for them to use it & be heard outside of classroom #nhed

csousanh Mar 6 @ 7:32 PM EST

@edventures @jcd118 @audrallurvey sometimes that's the teachers, Who don't want to let go and give student voice in the classroom. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:32 PM EST

@rjg_1978 When you say cadets, are they JROTC? #NHed

guilfordt Mar 6 @ 7:32 PM EST

A3 Collaboration with teachers and other specials #nhed

csousanh Mar 6 @ 7:33 PM EST

@jcd118 and appropriate avenues for them to express that voice. #nhed

audrallurvey Mar 6 @ 7:33 PM EST

A3: Sometimes as @jcd118 said, we don't know how to mentor Ss to help them make choices in learning #nhed

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:33 PM EST

@musiccargirl14 Maybe, but I know my S exp was too open-ended and I lit had no idea what to do - I needed structure - still do! #nhed

jcd118 Mar 6 @ 7:33 PM EST

@csousanh @edventures @audrallurvey that's a mindset that needs to change too & can be a huge barrier #nhed

jencole1975 Mar 6 @ 7:33 PM EST

@csousanh you are so correct! The opportunity gap just grows larger and larger. #nhed

audrallurvey Mar 6 @ 7:33 PM EST

Yes, this! I want this! #nhed https://t.co/WYzjxdEm7X

guilfordt Mar 6 @ 7:32 PM EST

A3 Collaboration with teachers and other specials #nhed

jcd118 Mar 6 @ 7:34 PM EST

@audrallurvey but I look at that as a great model in itself. Ss need to see Ts "fail" too! #nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:34 PM EST

#NHed https://t.co/cV1LahjJqJ

DrMerriRajaniem Mar 6 @ 7:34 PM EST

A3. Without barriers, Ss are actively engaged & learning. Instruction based on Ss interest. #nhedchat https://t.co/OQwxjxUPWi

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:35 PM EST

.@rjg_1978 Very cool! Did they participate in @CyberPatriot this year? #NHed

audrallurvey Mar 6 @ 7:35 PM EST

@jcd118 Oh yes! I tell my Ss all the time that I made a mistake or I was wrong. We are all human! #nhed

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:37 PM EST

A3. Take that skill and apply it to a lifetime of self-advocacy. Having control over your life - that's the ballgame. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:37 PM EST

So true. What we want for all Ss, to have the skills and confidence to live a good life. #NHed https://t.co/COApZdH4Le

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:37 PM EST

A3. Take that skill and apply it to a lifetime of self-advocacy. Having control over your life - that's the ballgame. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:40 PM EST

#NHed Q4: Is the perception of “school” and “schooling” impacting student learning in a negative way, and if so, how do we change that?

jcd118 Mar 6 @ 7:43 PM EST

A4 educator mindset needs to change first. Look at jobs currently out there- think how we teach & what is needed to reach more Ss #nhed

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:43 PM EST

A4. P when a S is under the weather but not contagious "I would keep them home but they love school so much..." I'm lucky & I know it #nhed

jencole1975 Mar 6 @ 7:43 PM EST

A4 I hear youth say "when am I ever going to use this" if students have choice hw they learn the skills they will be more invested. #nhed

csousanh Mar 6 @ 7:44 PM EST

A4 I don't believe so at my k-8 school, but HSs that have a narrow scope of programming can more often disenfranchise Ss from learning #nhed

guilfordt Mar 6 @ 7:44 PM EST

A4 District needs to move away from set curriculum with assessments to student centered learning and let teachers teach #nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:45 PM EST

.@jencole1975 So true! I want learning to be more participatory and tied to real world examples to show connections! #NHed

musiccargirl14 Mar 6 @ 7:48 PM EST

A4: I remember old days where to learn about acceleration we had a race car visit, to learn about Asia we saw Taiko drummers #handson #NHed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:49 PM EST

.@musiccargirl14 Yes! My daughter struggled w/ the abstracts in pre-calc but soared in a Financial Applications of Algebra class. #NHed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:50 PM EST

#NHed Q5: How do we create opportunities for learning that are real, relevant and meaningful for our learners?

DrMerriRajaniem Mar 6 @ 7:50 PM EST

I think that is SO important for Ts to tell Ss that they made a mistake. #NHed https://t.co/NBXBRILn1L

audrallurvey Mar 6 @ 7:35 PM EST

@jcd118 Oh yes! I tell my Ss all the time that I made a mistake or I was wrong. We are all human! #nhed

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:50 PM EST

@musiccargirl14 Why can't you do that kind of thing now? might do a virtual field trip but that's pretty much what I do all the time. #nhed

rjg_1978 Mar 6 @ 7:50 PM EST

A4: What's needed is more applicable to the real world. If Ss can't see any benefit, they tune out. Wouldn't hurt to cut back tests 2 #NHed

musiccargirl14 Mar 6 @ 7:51 PM EST

@edventures if that still could happen we could get some serious learning done #NHed

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:52 PM EST

A5. look at content. Look at S interests. Connect. When in doubt: ask. #nhed

musiccargirl14 Mar 6 @ 7:52 PM EST

@gallianstone I did when I was in classroom. Lots of my teacher friends complain not enough time or money to do so now..#nhed

DrMerriRajaniem Mar 6 @ 7:52 PM EST

A5. Project Based Learning and Problem Based Learning 2 ways to provide real life, relevant, & meaningful learning. Integrated Subj #NHed

guilfordt Mar 6 @ 7:52 PM EST

A5- Allow students freedom of choice to succeed and fail (guide not lead)- exploration - legos, k'nex, etc. #nhed

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:52 PM EST

If I can do it with S with repetitive interests & limited language, it should be a no brainier for you w/ S you can actually talk to! #nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:53 PM EST

It's as simple as that. Ask. #NHed https://t.co/PV854tVME7

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:52 PM EST

A5. look at content. Look at S interests. Connect. When in doubt: ask. #nhed

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:54 PM EST

@musiccargirl14 doesn't have to be fancy. I have no budget. YouTube is my friend. Free is my favorite word. :) #nhed

csousanh Mar 6 @ 7:54 PM EST

A5 problem based learning where the problems are community & locally-based. Be tight on standards & assessmnts but loose on curriculum #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem Mar 6 @ 7:54 PM EST

Totally agree! Ts need to build relationships & get to know who is in their classrooms #NHed https://t.co/Pauqglkbdl

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:52 PM EST

A5. look at content. Look at S interests. Connect. When in doubt: ask. #nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:55 PM EST

.@csousanh Tied into a #DesignThinking framework that helps Ss frame their approach when they don't know where to start. #NHed

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:55 PM EST

@DrMerriRajaniem Using the 365 Profile from #hacklearning is a really powerful (and easy) tool for doing that! #nhed

jencole1975 Mar 6 @ 7:55 PM EST

A5 building community relationships to offer and encourage learning outside the school walls and mentorship #nhed

rjg_1978 Mar 6 @ 7:55 PM EST

A5: I'm aiming to get Cs involved in developing their own pace for my math courses. Using the flipped method w/EdPuzzle helps #NHed

musiccargirl14 Mar 6 @ 7:56 PM EST

@gallianstone agreed, just got to keep spreading the word that can be done :-) #nhed

gallianstone Mar 6 @ 7:56 PM EST

@musiccargirl14 I'm doing my part. :) #nhed

edventures - Moderator Mar 6 @ 7:57 PM EST

I want to thank all of you who take time out of your lives to make yourselves better for yourself and for your students. #NHed is you!

csousanh Mar 6 @ 7:57 PM EST

@edventures which fits in great with a more thematic-based curriculum. We provide the 10,000' view & let the students drill down #nhed

DrMerriRajaniem Mar 6 @ 7:57 PM EST

Use #flippedlearning for Ss and Ps #NHed

jcd118 Mar 6 @ 7:58 PM EST

rjg_1978 Mar 6 @ 7:59 PM EST

@jencole1975 For sure! Cs are there w/o parents, so we become their parents. Ppl on campus get involved, and it changes Cs lives #NHed
