Eating baking is always a good idea. Same as eating bacon #kinderchat

In reply to @KeeneeLou, @dubioseducator

KeeneeLou Jan 16 @ 9:08 PM EST

Or baking with bacon. #kinderchat

When you look at point 1 how does it reflect what you do or can in your class #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Jan 16 @ 9:16 PM EST

We went through our outcomes from k-9 & decided which were “foundational”. Good idea, but all focus on academic #kinderchat

In reply to @dubioseducator

KeeneeLou Jan 16 @ 9:16 PM EST

A1 I've always sifted curriculum #kinderchat

In reply to @dubioseducator

CarrieMarshall1 Jan 16 @ 9:17 PM EST

Could you explain what you do/did? #kinderchat

In reply to @KeeneeLou, @dubioseducator

dubioseducator Jan 16 @ 9:17 PM EST

Love how you put that "sifted curriculum" explain more #Kinderchat

IBPBLJILL Jan 16 @ 9:18 PM EST

We did some similar with our K-5 standards and then connected authentic connections within our community. #kinderchat

I think it's mostly about looking for the deep, enduring understandings first and skills second #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1, @dubioseducator

CarrieMarshall1 Jan 16 @ 9:18 PM EST

I’d like to have seen that happen with us. Maybe that’s a future step we’ll get to #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1, @MauiMickey

dubioseducator Jan 16 @ 9:19 PM EST

YES! Giving kids time to really take time to understand what they need or ready to understand #Kinderchat

In reply to @KeeneeLou, @CarrieMarshall1

KeeneeLou Jan 16 @ 9:20 PM EST

Also focus on big concepts and how we learn vs what we learn #kinderchat

In reply to @dubioseducator, @CarrieMarshall1

IBPBLJILL Jan 16 @ 9:20 PM EST

We did that @ also affinity mapped the skills to the enduring understandings. We wanted the skills to be elevated. #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Jan 16 @ 9:23 PM EST

I think, when we can truly listen to our students, that’s when the important & the necessary comes to the forefront in learning #kinderchat

dubioseducator Jan 16 @ 9:24 PM EST

Let's look at point 2: I love the second paragraph.. we open school doors... #kinderchat

KeeneeLou Jan 16 @ 9:25 PM EST

A2 Yes! Come in! Let's do this together! #kinderchat

In reply to @dubioseducator

Gives us so much information of what's needed from us for our students #Kinderchat

IBPBLJILL Jan 16 @ 9:27 PM EST

Agree - how might we shift culture to foster this type of thinking? We tried starting with small, authentic moments #kinderchat

dubioseducator Jan 16 @ 9:24 PM EST

Let's look at point 2: I love the second paragraph.. we open school doors... #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Jan 16 @ 9:27 PM EST

Testing has changed the nature of education from learning to knowing. There’s a very big difference between those 2 terms #kinderchat

KeeneeLou Jan 16 @ 9:29 PM EST

Yes. And that is very sad. And problematic. #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1

CarrieMarshall1 Jan 16 @ 9:29 PM EST

It’s what happens when we have people who only look at the “bottom line” making decisions for us #kinderchat 1/2

In reply to @KeeneeLou

dubioseducator Jan 16 @ 9:30 PM EST

@CarrieMarshall1 sometimes I just wanted to close my door and leave all the testing/accountability noise outside. #Kinderchat

In reply to @IBPBLJILL, @CarrieMarshall1

KeeneeLou Jan 16 @ 9:30 PM EST

Yes. Education as a business model? #kinderchat

In reply to @CarrieMarshall1

CarrieMarshall1 Jan 16 @ 9:30 PM EST

I think, it’s well intentioned, to a point. Just very poor in execution. They have no philosophical understanding #kinderchat 2/2

I'm thankful that I don't have much of this here in Canada ...yet #kinderchat

That’s exactly it. A huge drawback of Capitalism, to be honest #kinderchat

In reply to @KeeneeLou, @dubioseducator

IBPBLJILL Jan 16 @ 9:32 PM EST

Hard as a parent too. We are in a new school and district and my 5 yr old is stressed about her reading A level #Kinderchat

dubioseducator Jan 16 @ 9:33 PM EST

I taught in a private school & more flexibility/autonomy. never forgot what was going on #Kinderchat

Especially hard when PBL and authentic learning is your passion & you're a teacher - husband's job transfer #kinderchat

Something I’ve been really focussing on this year- learning not in “silos” but at all times. #kinderchat

#kinderchat Yes I still do direct teaching on concepts, but we tend to transfer them to all areas #kinderchat

IBPBLJILL Jan 16 @ 9:39 PM EST

We spent a lot of time at my school deconstructing the schedule. It was slow to change human mindset based on their schooling. #kinderchat

I think it isn’t a coincidence that one of our first words is “no!” Change is hard for most of us! #kinderchat

In reply to @IBPBLJILL

KeeneeLou Jan 16 @ 9:40 PM EST

As an @ibpyp school, we are always striving to have schedule flow without subjects/categories #kinderchat

dubioseducator Jan 16 @ 9:40 PM EST

Those 45 minute turnovers get to me. I love when we made time for #geniushour w/a big time slot & then follow through overtime #kinderchat

I didn’t know you were in an IB school. #interesting #kinderchat

#kinderchat The first hour of our day is singing and playing. I can’t stress how much it’s opened up the learning of my students.

dubioseducator Jan 16 @ 9:43 PM EST

Point 4 #kinderchat here is the "fear" of change

IBPBLJILL Jan 16 @ 9:44 PM EST

In my book we spent a lot of time unpacking PBL & how to remove silos & connect reading to every aspect of authentic learning #kinderchat

CarrieMarshall1 Jan 16 @ 9:44 PM EST

We need to trust the process. Trust our students. Trust that they WANT to learn and know what they NEED to learn! #kinderchat #CantSayItEnuf

dubioseducator Jan 16 @ 9:45 PM EST

I will share the next points & we can discuss any of them Point 5 #kinderchat

I know many parents who would prefer a PBL style of education. Most of them see the shortcoming of teaching in subjects #kinderchat
