#aussieED Archive
#aussieED was founded on the belief that all teachers, and students, should have unlimited access to Professional Development, on their own terms, to improve their teaching, their schools and change the lives of the students they encounter. Since then, we have embarked on a mission to reach educators, not only in Australia but, all around the globe. We want to smash the barriers that prevent teachers from easily connecting and learning with each other. To that end, we have developed a regular Ed-chat each Sunday on twitter at #aussieED. The chat allows all teachers, leaders, administrators and all those connected with education to meet on an unbiased platform and discuss the real issues that effect what happens in classrooms everywhere. Our chats are authentic because we are real teachers walking the same walk that so many do everyday.

Yaaaaaay! Not just to Sydney, us Vic -ers will look after you too :)
Good evening from a very wet Qld tonight, topic closet to my parenting & professional heart tonight https://t.co/Inp8dNa9MJ
I had to read that twice. W/ the tweets flicking thru so fast, I read one of those words a little differently
Some, many will never want to again after seeing some of the dancing!
Q1: How do students’ basic family and physical circumstances affect their ability to learn? https://t.co/B8qZ6YuOPt
Adriana - spec ed teacher/teaching and learning coach. Melbourne.
Hi Mark. early morning for you I guess
welcome to follow he is leading the questions for tonight's chat
There is a definite need to make connection to the internet a basic human right. It's that important.
All Ss need a sense of community, being connected and belonging
The one, only and world famous Kelly -> is bringing her best to
Xavier, Melbourne, perseverance.
some just have it due to life circumstances, all others need lessons IMO
Q1: How do students’ basic family and physical circumstances affect their ability to learn? https://t.co/o83tA4hY2B
Families build students' perceptions of the value of learning- good or bad!
Sorry , what Ss need is opportunity and someone to believe they can achieve!
A fully actualized and totally activated human being ->
been wet in Cairns today! Footy was muddy!
Students need to develop relationships and have friends (at least one special friend)
. Relationships the foundation of everything. An important base for all learning in society IMO
Hi Linda from Melbourne. All Ss need positive role models.
A1 This is the Ss first learning/educational space - hence it’s foundation their mindset of learning built upon
Karen from Sudney Ss need +ive relationships with themselves & Ts also to know F.A.I.L. is ok.
Make sure you follow my wonderful co-host for tonight's chat
totally empathise with this in some lessons!
A1: There’s a saying that is something like we have no idea what a S experiences before arriving at school. So true. That’s huge.
Hi Ange. Wish it was cool here. HOt and humid in NC.
A1 Ss can arrive at school with a myriad of things on their mind that prevent them from paying attn. Ts need to be mindful of this
She wakes up the sun, and welcomes the moon. Without Leonie, total darkness ->
Hey ! Sam here from Sydney. Ss need to learn compassion
A1: As with adults if children do not have basic care, food and water how can they be ready to learn?
I will have to stay several months to meet everyone - darn ;-)
A1-I teach a S who never eats at home. His poor behaviour reflected it. Support has been put in place for him.
A1: if the family values education, the student will try and put in effort.
A1 school is the place most s spend their days. T must ensure s feel that they belong and have sense of ownership
A1 without support learning becomes increasingly difficult
A1: For so many of our Ss, overcoming life outside of school is the biggest obstacle to learning. For some, school is sanctuary.
Hello! Wes from Rockhampton. I think all Ss need a safe & supportive learning environment.
Q1. If you don't have food, sleep, love, warm clothes in winter how can you learn 'irrelevant' stuff like grammar or long division
And let's not forget to acknowledge the acknowledger ->
I would argue that trial and error IS how we learn. Want kiddos to fall in love with the process.
A1: countless ways, but schools must mitigate effect through a collective confidence that all students can learn
A1 - So much! It's where attitudes towards learning form. But also, if Ss are having difficulties, they're not ready to learn
Hi Caroline from Melbourne. Ss need critical literacy skills in all areas of their life
A1) Family circumstance drives confidence. How Ss deal with that affects their ability to learn. so CONFIDENCE
A1. If there is no quality relationship in place, it is totally driving of the students ability to learn!
A1 Family&physical determine SS baseline emotional state when they get to school. This can enhance/detract from ability to learn
Good point. If not very hard to move forward with the learning esp in the home! A1
Family attitude to education is reflected in the work ethic and engagement of students.
A1 sts need to have a secure emotional home base love must reign in their lives for their psychic and emotional wellbeing
Hi Christy from Melb. Ss need a safe learning environment in order to feel confident to take learning risks.
A1: Family are the first teachers of children! We get them after 5 years, so family underpins everything we do as teachers!
A1: Love and belonging stabilize personality. This is essential for growing. And for learning.
A1. If family & physical circumstances R risk factors then Ss ability 2 learn may be compromised or stunted
A1A huge affect 24 of my Ss are affected by poverty or generalised poverty. Knowing little of the world I bring the world to them.
We're not going anywhere... keep going
A1 we never know what goes on behind closed doors. We need to constantly check in w our Ss
A1 Ss learn about life & how to navigate it at home frm parents, they need to be shown love,compassion,respect etc starts at home
teachers can also have the same problem! :)
A1: I try hard to take Ss where they're at...they come from a variety of 'real life' experiences...all are welcome and loved.
Isn't it amazing what a difference fuel makes? Such simple things impact how a kid learns. So glad he got help.
A1 Ability to focus & engage in learning tasks must be near impossible w an empty belly, anxiety, emotional turmoil, etc.
Nice Jon, by this time, much research suggest the die is cast already!
A1 - Ss who don't have secure, safe home enviroment, where they're cared for & loved, the last thing on their mind is learning
A1. A stable home brings a stable body. Ss w'out stability can have many issues - lack of concentration, fatigue, lack of respect
Jumping in late to got distracted by my soup club requirements for tomorrow!
A1 Ss family experiences set the initial scene for learning success
A1 ...Hugely, if a Ss comes to school supported, safe and loved... S will be ready and happy to learn & enjoy school
A1 - A Ss self worth can be compromised with one or more basic need missing. Makes it hard to place importance on anything else
A1:I believe that all kids can learn if they have a teacher who believes in them. Can't do anything about factors we can't control.
.A1.A huge impact. Without food, proper clothing eg winter warmth, love (some are rejected/abused),& sleep out on streets till late
Hi Jack from Melbourne, interested in how Teachers can cultivate valuable mindsets that include hope, optimism and gratitude.
A1 and this perception is either a barrier or offers freedom to a Ss learning
Great Jen, let's also remember nutritional and hydration state! A1
A1 Because it takes brain activity and lots of energy when you are worried about basic needs
But can also be overcome. Seen many Ss say “I don’t want to be like that”. And haven’t!
Yes! And yet so many come to school hungry or without adequate clothing. We need to address this fundamental need.
Meridith... so much truth! You're the battery of our lives. Thanks.
A1 if +Ve can help them soar. If -Ve can overwhelm them so learning doesn't happen
Sun... yeah I've remember that... warm thing isn't it
Exactly! I have ss saying now that they love challenges https://t.co/xuw4gAFYjz
I would argue that trial and error IS how we learn. Want kiddos to fall in love with the process.
A1 You can't learn well if you're hungry, scared or neglected. Family is so important
I'd like students to learn that they have a gift/talent & that they can always get better at what they're good & not so good at.
Mike Curran, Rider U, NJ USA. A1 Students should effectively demonstrate kindness. Skills will follow.
Good morning friends Spiri from the states, Happy Fathers Day to all the awesome Dads out there https://t.co/y0DJfZ9AOI
A1 How people respond to children when they're young can dictate their responses, healthy or unhealthy, later on
So true! https://t.co/ffT8ZoQmIe
A1 - Ss who don't have secure, safe home enviroment, where they're cared for & loved, the last thing on their mind is learning
Excellent point! A1. Often inter-generational!
Excellent point! A1. Often inter-generational!
A1. No breakfast, no sleep, unsafe home environ, no love all affects learning
A1 Ss need to feel that they belong, have a voice & r loved. Unconditional love
Yes, students are a whole package. Why it's so important for us to "know" them :-)
Hi there. Anna in Melbourne
And don't assume because all seems well at school that it is so at home. School can be the one safe place
Good morning /night from Ireland.We are approaching Mid Summers day on Tuesday.23 hours daylight and just 3 hours of darkness
We started Breakfast Club this yr to help in this situation
A1 When students are relaxed and comfortable they will learn. Sometimes they don't feel that can effect what happens at school
A1 learning needs to be realistic. Ss can't connect with what they don't know. No books, food or table talk we are the mentor
A1 lots of research literature says that home is the biggest influence on student learning & achievement.
How I LOVE this video. Thank you for reminding me. Need to watch again.
A1. However these emotions can be converted into powerful learning opportunities through quality relationships with educators!
VIVIANA is an accomplished enabler of learning ->
Deluge in Brisbane , here at last, need to learn how to learn - meta
A1 just being there for Ss goes a long way. They really do want to show you what they can do. Some days just aren't the best days
A1 A S's home life is their world - if that is not functioning well it's guaranteed to have a ripple affect on their learning
A1 Too often they go unseen until a major issue arises. Ss can often feel voiceless & invisible. We need to reach out to them!
A1: Meeting Ss' basic needs can make all the difference when it comes to learning...they need food and to know they are loved.
I can’t agree with you more on this one!
A1 also we must not forget that some Ss may have to do a P/T job to help them thru education 1/2
Thanks Spiri. We have Fathers day in September so now I get thanked twice
A1. We need to support the daily transition to and from school. For some, getting to school each day can be a battle or an escape
When your mind is already full of worries and stress from home it leaves little room for anything else https://t.co/28tzbWAgGp
Q1: How do students’ basic family and physical circumstances affect their ability to learn? https://t.co/o83tA4hY2B
So true. Survival & self-preservation are instinctual. Learning is secondary or not at all important https://t.co/tsTdixScTV
A1 - Ss who don't have secure, safe home enviroment, where they're cared for & loved, the last thing on their mind is learning
I often look at the fuel in Ss lunchtimes and cringe. It's fuel,but not effective fuel! Parents need educating!
A1 although having worked with refugee Ss & disadvantaged backgrounds- truly amazing what Ss can achieve when believed in
so true. We've all taught kids whose reactions tell a sad story of what 'normal' relationship is.
Buckled uo, and battened down... let's go!
Oh that's great. I see so many who are afraid to make mistakes , which shuts them down.
A1: heard research last week if the household has 8 books or more, they are better students. Bizarre but true!
Everyone's physical, mental and social wellbeing has an impact on how they learn. Even teachers'! https://t.co/WdJOFx46fR
Q1: How do students’ basic family and physical circumstances affect their ability to learn? https://t.co/o83tA4hY2B
Too right! Every student deserves that teacher.
Great point and for many families in need, the dollar can trump attendance at school. A1
A2 physical as well as emotional safety. I guess that counts as two...
Q2: Maslow calls “Safety” the 2nd most important need. Is there more than one kind of safety? https://t.co/SIIZWEip37
A1 some students might call school as their 'home' safe, caring and anything is possible
A1 We can make each Ss year in our classrooms the best year ever by understanding & building relationships
You should be thanked every day, you're a wonderful father
I like to think we still have an impact on even the factors we can't control
A1 Basic needs must be met 1st, feeling safe & loved empowering and lets other areas of Ss lives, like learning flourish
and your empathetic nature, Zeina, is a model for us all...
A1 2/2 the early morning paper round or the need to leave early to work in a shop have an effect
.So true - both should be acknowledged & thanked
it is gorgeous! I took my niblings. They've really nailed it! Heartwarming 🐠🐟🐠🐟
Yes in terms of sexual, ethnic and emotional among others! A2
Schuks
Thanks Spiri... there are times that might not be said
A1.We go to sleep in daylight and wake up to sunlight .We get used to it.In December we have 5 hrs sunshine and 19 hours darkness
Too easy to take the shortcut
A1 I reckon a lot more than what Hattie's effect size suggests
Yes, wish there was more awareness of this and support.
Social safety, a safe learning environment, safe communication chains. Safety generates progress.
A2: Guess for students financial safety isn’t really that relevant.;) But personal safety regarding family structure is the best.
well Danielle... repeat after me: One more week, I CAN DO THIS... finish strong.
A2 You learn by trial and error & have to feel able to fail - that is true safety - helping Ss learn not laugh at their failure
Let's add DV, drug and alcohol issues, gambling addictions, multi-generational unemployment and then ask why we need funding.
A2. Yes. We need 2 ensure Ss are safe to take risks, to be wrong and be the different thinker in the room
A1: Our schools can be some of our students' 'safe havens' where they desperately want and need to be.
A2 safety to be themselves.
A2: Safety could include physical, emotional, psychological, social ...
Even sadly to the extent of leaving school permanently and prematurely. A1
This year I decided to use Growth Mindset in my class https://t.co/2A4Bjiw6yV
Oh that's great. I see so many who are afraid to make mistakes , which shuts them down.
.Yes making time to listen so important for any T
Bill, principal from ACT.
A2: Yes, not just physical safety, there’s emotional and psychological safety. Not to mention learning safety. All vital!
So glad you brought that up. Teachers need adequate funding and fuel too :-)
The students who make most progress feel safe at home and safe to make mistakes in lessons
Even in NZ, becoming more of an issue dadly.
A poignant moment happening here ->
A2: there are many types however it comes down to the same thing, feeling secure and protected from harm.
A2. Safety is a Mindset for some students! The reality of that is there is only one! But some students will isolate into parts!
A2) Emotional, physical, online, traffic, financial, and probably many more
A2 be safe! but education shouldn't always be safe! needs to be risky and challenging. If too safe do we promote good learning?
A2 yes - safety for body, mind and heart.
A2 Physical, mental, emotional safety. Safety from bullying, threats or ongoing harm. Safety to express oneself w/out judgment
A2. You have many categories 4 safety: personal, health, financial security, well-being - all together they form a net of safety
A2: Safety is also perceived. If a child knows he/she is seen & supported much more willing & able to tackle learning & take risks
A1. The family's valuing of education can affect engagement at school. Family values are often reflective of community values
And a huge achievement https://t.co/qDa02x2Pss
A1. We need to support the daily transition to and from school. For some, getting to school each day can be a battle or an escape
A2 emotional, physical, spiritual, psychological. They all fall under "safety" but need individual consideration
We need to access that expertise when they get to school & not just hit the reset.
Absolutely. School can be Ss only safe place, not only physically, but emotionally & socially also
A3 Safe in physical environment, peer cohort, home, friendships... all areas of life!
A2 Physically safe is one thing but there is also emotional and social safety - need to feel like you belong
A2 physically safe as in your surroundings & emotionally safe so you feel you can express ideas & take risks
Haha thanks Mark! WE CAN DO IT! Will be on my knees by Friday! :)
A2 s must have at least one adult they can trust at school
A1. Significantly. Access and exposure to a literate environment. Opportunity. Diverse prior knowledge.
Openness to mistakes is a precursor of learning...
A2: Keeping children safe in the literal sense but also allowing them the safety 2 be creative in learning https://t.co/aFTSE4qmoL
A2 Safety is needed physically, emotionally, socially, mentally & spiritually & these are met through learning environment.
A2 - Safety comes in the form of knowing you are loved, cared for and accepted across many settings and people. It is vital.
Thanking you and all who parent the kiddos daily.
.We have B/fast in schs,fruit in schs,lunch for Ss w/out,milk in schs. Feed the body to help feed the mind
Wondering if during this election season our politicians should listen to Maslow and realise the full potential of the Ed system
A2 Once psychological needs met, safety needs = personal security, financial security & health/wellbeing
A2 Safety to share experiences, to question, to explore and to reflect. Safety to an active member of the classroom
A2 personal safety health and well-being and financial security
It's like the containment drill.
Everyone worries about "terrorists" but we once had a horse on the oval biting Ss
A2. It is up to Ts to create a 'safe' classroom environment for Ss to take risks in their learning https://t.co/qjxvR5GDrr
A2: if level 1 is defined by home life, safety can be compromised in classroom. Safety is emotional, social, physical academic
Great point Wes, completely agree.
Agree. You have to feel and be safe to take the risks needed to learn
Same questions regarding education here. Think there is no time to hesitate.
A2 guiding Ss & telling them it's ok when things don't go their way. That for them is all they need to hear. They would feel safe
A2. Definitely. In the 21st century, we also need to consider online safety to be just as important as 'real life' safety
Good Morning Mark, Happy Fathers Day 😊
A2: Absolutely, creating spaces where students can feel safe to be heard and to listen without judgement is a priority
A2: Safety has a variety of meanings. How do we perceive ‘safe' risks? I want my Ss to feel safe enough to take risks. Know its ok
And that's not just at home, it's school, groups and the community as well https://t.co/mWpuOmwiYh
A2 Physically safe is one thing but there is also emotional and social safety - need to feel like you belong
Hello from Spain I'm languages teacher!!!
A1. Learning with an empty belly and basic needs unmet is mere impossible.
I'm w Intel Edu Visionaries pre ISTE & 'immersing' myself in for my Fellow research project
A2. R our schools providing our Ss w/ safety from judgement when implementing standardized high stakes testing
Compartmentalise their lives! Sad but true! https://t.co/cJEr8FtFE5
A2. Safety is a Mindset for some students! The reality of that is there is only one! But some students will isolate into parts!
A2 If a kid needs to go to the toilet... let them go. If they're hungry... let them eat.
Learning can be risky and challenging with a foundation of safety in the ability to make mistakes, & grow https://t.co/U2f3NEukJ3
A2 be safe! but education shouldn't always be safe! needs to be risky and challenging. If too safe do we promote good learning?
A2 Safety manifests in different ways - physical, emotional, intellectual, to feel you can take risks
A1: Emotional factors most impactful. Things can be overcome, feelings run deep
Constantly amazed how we are all fighting the same battles world wide? https://t.co/jZ0Vjc4RLV
Same questions regarding education here. Think there is no time to hesitate.
A2 Not the role of schools to provide safe & supportive learning environments where all Ss r valued. Not always an issue at home
It can make school the home they wish they had and make surrogate parents of Ts. Are schools prepared for that?
A2: Psychological safety for students is critical.
A2 absolutely more than one type of safety some definitely take more skill, time, observation to recognise as being at risk?
A1.Lets remember that for some Ss school may be a place where peace and harmony and sometimes good meals exist
Just think Spiri... if no mother, then no father and vice versa...
A2 Safety to to be part of a learning community that a Ss wants to part of everyday, where they have a voice that is heard
A1 Teacher’s a vital factor
Every child has a story - & by listening we help them define & refine it. I love hearing kids stories
A2 learning is risky so students need to feel safe so they can be risky and learn.
A2 - I think it comes down to feeling protected, free from harm... In any situation, whether physically, emotionally, socially etc
the feeling of belonging is so important
Hello Mark! Trust you are well!
. what do you mean by "true self"? Family, gender, race, socioeconomic reproduction is not necessarily a good thing
A2 - In a learning environment, you'd feel safe to take risks, make mistakes, ask questions...
Helping students feel safe by helping them build resilience so they pick themselves up if they fail
A2: To be themselves, to make mistakes, to seek answers, to try new things and of course feel physically safe
Every day, in every way... she helps her students learn, grow, and blossom...
A2 I think current societal norms almost dictate multiple meanings for safety. Home, family, social, school, digital, etc.
creates opportunity to tackle the situation from a diff. angle
. A2.Yes physical, social, emotional, cybersafety etc .All important & related to Ss indiv needs
A2 If a student doesn't feel safe, they won't take chances with their learning IMO.
A2 Safety is complex - multidimensional. We care for whole children, not part-people. The ideal is that they're wholly safe
When I manage the alpacas they will do nothing if they don't feel safe... they will abandon food, cria or water
some great advice. There is always a reason. Even if the reason is ‘space’.
A3. Using ideas from 's book 'TLAP' - I've seen big changes when building rapport with Ss from day 1!!!
A2. Teachers and schools often do not have the powers to create safe for some kids! Sad but true! Teachers must realise this!
A2.2 Need to feel safe to take risks
A1 also teachers need time to embark on their own leisure activities
A2 Often learning (in a classroom, coaching relationship, post grad course) needs high emotional safety & high challenge.
thanks for asking... yes, well.
A2 Just as in the rest of society, school can be a dangerous place, physically & psychologically, for students deemed different
A3. Cultivate & encourage respectful listening, consideration & questioning
Yep. Helping daughter studying genetics... know heaps about this right now
so much to learn from animal behaviour! Always love your comparisons in that sense
Listening is a core trait every teacher should have. It’s the 1st thing he should do-listen to students. https://t.co/y65mQvnU8i
Every child has a story - & by listening we help them define & refine it. I love hearing kids stories
A2) I think so, personal safety, school safety, social safety, Ss need to feel safe & secure to learn
A2 unfortunately some T my Ss feel emotionally unsafe & sad to say it's as a parent that I've learnt that lesson
is now trending in New Zealand, ranking 2
A3 Ss need to share their thoughts and feelings. Come up with a class agreement and motto where all ss feel safe to learn
TT NEW ZEALAND 22:52
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.Hone Harawira
7.Finding Dory
This is one of my pet peeves. TEsting teaches comparison & competition & self-blame, not freedom to explore & learn
A3. Co-construction of class rules and vision statement, time everyday to connect as a group
A3: Treat them as equal, allow them to take ownership of their learning and the learning space. Watch them feel comfortable!
Clear research shows that 50% of a Ss performance is based on the qualities they bring to the classroom
A2 - Safety is also about how you can make others feel safe too
. that one is more indicative of the complexity of the theory than the triangle
I take the time to get to know my Ss hobbies, what they like to do in their spare time & TALK TO THEM!! They aren't aliens!
A2. Safety is physical, emotional, psychological, etc. A lack of any of these will result in anxiety, lack of focus on learning.
A3 An expert wall - everyone is good at something! I'm always asking for help when it comes to my coding. Coding karma :)
A3 It's not just what we say but what we DO SS watch all the time. Accepting, valuing&knowing each SS as a *person* not just a kid
I find animal behaviour gives me that insight of what we would be like without rules
A3 Determine from Day 1 - no put downs, all voices valid, no I in TEAM
A3. Include & encourage Ss 2 bring personal items 2 make space their own - family photos etc
value and prioritise the people over the students and outcomes.
value and prioritise the people over the students and outcomes.
A3 Engage the heart before challenging the mind. Take time to know them as ppl before learners, trusting rships are key!
Oh! Want to make a card & share daily. SO true. This is the gift of Ts. Be the story changer
... well then, apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
A3 Allow Ss to have choice, allow them to experiment, give them a voice in their education. They are sick of Ts ignoring them
Agree completely, why would a student who has to deal with these problems worry about doing well in lessons
A3 - Understanding & respecting each other's differences and use that towards their learning
A2b I found recent pushes against the Safe Schools program to be pretty appalling, considering everyone purports to be for ch'n
A3 Permit open discussion hearing all voices. Listen to what is "not" being said as well.
A3 Celebrate difference, diversity and having a go attitude. Different learning styles and different teaching techniques
A3 For me it's the tone I set as the teacher. What values guide my practice? What norms guide c/room? How r/ships are managed?
A3 give Ss a place for their voice to be heard & the security to know they can take risks with their learning
A3. Creating value in the human! Every human has a value in a group same in a classroom! Setting up Empathy for different value?
"nature rules", isn't it?
A2: Safety is about Ss feeling that they are valued, loved, appreciated, wanted and welcomed...opening learning possibilities!
This first... then they can learn https://t.co/alz2nDc4SO
I take the time to get to know my Ss hobbies, what they like to do in their spare time & TALK TO THEM!! They aren't aliens!
Are we providing our students the safety of a space where they are not political pawns? I worry about this.
& gives the support they need
A3 Have classroom expectations not rules. All demonstrate... including teacher. We're all learners.
A3 taking time to learn our Ss building relationships everyone important and worth getting to know better
A2. For some students school may be the safest place they know.
A3: corresponding to listening, try to understand your Ss’ needs. Ss want 2 be heard & feel that their problems are important.
A3 Students are people! They're the most important people to their parents & our job is knowing & teaching the whole child
A3: Involve all students, allow them to have a voice, use named lollisticks or random picker when asking questions
A1 Awareness - ask the question & place on the learner profile. Support - Ss funding another issue
A3: Create a culture of respect, camaraderie and family feel
A3 lead by example & believe in what you are doing
A3: consistent approach to behaviour, ask ss to help design room, all work on display, class agreement on rules, expectations
this first, then they will be willing to at least have a go!!! :)
A3 Tough love goes along way....chn feel safer within structured classrooms with few 'surprises'
A3-teamwork challenges to promote communication skills,being open with Ss as a teacher-show that you are human.
whoa, absolutely not pigeon holing people like that! More that the individual can find their own path
I have Ss who I was told 'wouldn't do anything for you'... they've been engaged & responsive in more lessons than not this year
We often focus completely on what we can control in classroom. Think we have to challenge that huge %. Pastoral care NB
A3 Be interested in each S for themselves not just for what they need to learn
With 75 Ss in our learning area, we usually have their peers fighting to suggest things that person is good at!
A3 show you care in as many ways as possible. Don't give up on them
This is my BIG push. Each child is unique & part of our job is to help each find & explore those unique abilities.
A3) Set expectations they relate to
get to know them.
i did Cowboy Ethics with year 8 last week
https://t.co/FCOjCbGraY
A3 Drilling into Charlotte Danielson's FFT Domain 2 gives ways to establish learning culture & environment https://t.co/2Udof3i7ke
A3.Create an env where Ss feel free to take risks and get it wrong .Empathise with efforts and teach from the heart
A3: co-designing the space at the beginning of the year sets the tone.
A3 Connect to classrooms globally, open ended learning, independence. Use calmer classroom model, build a community of learners
A3. Culture of respect, both ways. let Ss have a voice and listen, act on it when appropriate.
A2: I would also add that safety covers academics as well. Taking "learning" risks in front of your peers in class
A3: Set an agreed standard for physically and emotionally safe classroom, use language that reflects growth mindset
Be consistent, ensure that you plan opportunities in your lessons for students to see that they are making progress
A3: Help them to connect with you, with others and with their learning. Show they are important. Use their ideas. ‘Steal’ recipes!
A3 - Developing a common understanding of a classroom code of conduct, explicit growth mindset discussions & strengthening effort
Except for male bees... I did not know how they came to be... very different
we ensure that our classrooms are fair, allow for mistakes and are a place where the hard conversations can be had
also to teach Ss to perceive safe vs unsafe risks for themselves
And they are the most important people for us Ts at school. https://t.co/tc7GCejmkK
A3 Students are people! They're the most important people to their parents & our job is knowing & teaching the whole child
A3. T models empathy, ignores negative behaviour and recognises positive behaviour. Also, classroom does not become a court room
Yes don't know why isn't acknowledged & celebrated. Edison "I didn't fail just found 10,000 ways that didn't work"
A3: Students often feel they belong when Ss voice, choice and their leadership are welcomed and supported.
A3 we need to be there for them be interested coach them get excited about their learning and mistakes so 2 develop resilience
A3 Encourage risk taking, mistake making, build relationships and make each student count as an individual
#2035 Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at. — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
https://t.co/mKOi0wqKQp
A3. Work out how you can tie their interests into your content... even if it doesn't 'fit'... huge differences!!
If society collapses just come and see me. i've got this worked out
Very true! That security & trust takes time to build.
A3 There has to be time every day for more than academics. Positive class culture requires time, patience & open communication
A3. Create community routines - like morning meetings - to develop +ve classroom culture of belonging
A2. Yes, there are other forms of 'safety'. One must feel safe to express needs, ideas, thoughts, feelings.
The teacher needs to accept & welcome, model acceptance of, & expect acceptance & celebration of, all students.
A3: No room for put downs, name calling.
definitely, what strategies/actions do you use to maintain this kind of 'safety to take risks' environment for Ss?
.Well think of us in NZ-winter and 2 terms and a bit to go till summer break. Cold frosty am
A3 Positive behaviour support rather than focusing solely on reactive strategies or 'punishment' is important also
There's a certain inherent commitment to young people for any of this to occur. Unfortunately, not all have it.
Hard conversations are SO important. Where else will Ss learn the SE skills need to have them in the real-world?
You are such a great dad, and good man, model for others...you should be honored every day
A3 Often through outside classroom walls like camps, games, social events and small gatherings...really getting to know each other
A3 build genuine relationships that honour individual strengths & challenge Ss meeting them where they are at
Q2 Yes, safeguarding have Ts & visitors been checked? Activities - has a risk assessment been completed?
You want them to feel like your class is a place they want to be
Safety from oneself, safety from others safety towards othersThis still is centred on the self and safety no only one kind for me
Nice. The long term reward for this kind of effort is priceless. Even in primary school!
Final word as I must away. Students won't remember everything you teach them but they will remember you.Be good and kind to them
A2: Safety - personal, cyber, emotional, road - so many types
A3 perhaps having a class mascot?
A3. Building relationships and rapport is important. Know the Ss interests.
The golden tweet of so far https://t.co/ewFaCZwAry
Final word as I must away. Students won't remember everything you teach them but they will remember you.Be good and kind to them
A3b Making sure Ss have a true voice in their classroom and school
True presence! Not only attendance at school. Be there for your students - listen and talk to them! https://t.co/T30YaNPKWe
Yes believe teaching is a calling & we need 2 reward & cultivate that. What & how teach Ss affects ALL our futures
noted 👍🏻😂 Really, the more I learn about how nature works the more I think we have it mostly wrong as we do stuff
A3 Model learning, do less well, structured classroom, clear expectations, tap into Ss interests, push the boundaries of learning
A3. Above all else make it fun - fun gets through all barriers, all problems -Ss laughter is the best medicine for Ss and Ts alike
There's so much pressure to fit everything in, it's sometimes difficult to give space to important but < visible
We introduced class mottos this year, which are working well. Just having to remember to use them more frequently!
Knowing w/older ages they love 2 'shock' you & having responses 2 show no matter what is said you care https://t.co/xGsiCwdDlX
Q4:Maslow said, “Everything I need I’ve already been given.” What do you think he meant by this? https://t.co/Ov6K7BMc2g
A3. I used to have my kids sing Accentuate the Positive every morning - it was our class theme song
they will be the ones in turn to be looking after us in this 21C
Resiliency! My G&T students struggle with this, break down at the thought of a mistake
thanks !! Yes today is a great day I can chatting with us.. several moths cray!!!
Q4:Maslow said, “Everything I need I’ve already been given.” What do you think he meant by this? https://t.co/TnF2UonOB7
A3 I allow my students to sit anywhere around the classroom... as long as they're working.
I'd love to collect and keep these resources for everyone to share. SO important.
.A3Establish positive relationships betw Ss & S &T. Also other Ts. Listen, get to know yr Ss. Be interested ,share about yrself.Fun
A3: I also think you need to celebrate children's achievements outside the four walls of the classroom https://t.co/4Z39LKhviD
hopefully where ever they need them! If they are not modelled at home, we need to model them
Group work in general helps students feel that they are making progress
In the UK a few years ago we had Education Maintenance Allowance for post 16 year olds ….. 1/2
A3 My motto make the year one they will never forget and will remember forever. Change lives through building relationships
apparently my sts remember my silly jokes. They tell the senior school tchrs all the time.
A3 curiosity & acceptance of others go a long way to develop empathy. Learning about others similarities
A4. I think that means we have all the opportunity - it’s what we do we the opportunity that’s important
oooh I'd love a class Tiger or Bear! get a different student to wear it as a costume each lesson!
Amen
https://t.co/4UVDyyrDk6
Final word as I must away. Students won't remember everything you teach them but they will remember you.Be good and kind to them
A3: Ss will never forget how you made them feel. Take the time to get to know them as individuals. Build a reciprocal relationship
Agree! Also make space & tools for all kinds of learners, and projects that teach collaboration. Each person contriubutes
A4. The ability to build skills of learning in order to create a individual learning journey for life!
Definitely Adam.
I do the same
.A4.Thats its there within & needs to be developed, brought out, nutured , celebrated & extended.
A4 everything we need is there we just need to open our eyes, ears, mind & heart in order to access it
Totally agree. Don't go in with preconceived ideas about students, find out what they are like for yourself
A3) Give them voice, choice, build relationship w/Ss, let them know you care about their learning but care about THEM more
A4. I think it means 'we have enough to get us out of bed everyday'... but what do we need to make each day AMAZING?
A4. No idea what he meant, but for me it means that we have all of the tools for teaching and learning already- less materialism
Me too. Just as long as they leave space for people to walk through safely w/o having to step over legs etc
A4. I think that means we have all the opportunity - it’s what we do with the opportunity that’s important
this can be summed up with Seuss 'you have brains in your head and shoes on your feet'
2/2 … they were given £30 per week if they met certain criteria. Cut backs etc… now not available
Yes. Sometimes our Ss just need to 'test' our commitment to them as a reminder that they're 'safe'
A3 I'm tired of the authoritarian Ts who deny toilets and water during class time 😖
A3: As a "Capturing Kids ❤️ School" we meet&agreed every student, build social contracts, and resolve conflicts in meaningful ways
A4: We are (should be) given all of the skills and care that is required at home before we arrive at school. If only it were true.
A4: We each come equipped w/abilities, limitations & gifts.
A3: Student voice = student choice. Let them have some say.
A4 We are the directors of our own destiny - we just have to want it bad enough. The phoenix rises from the ashes
A3 Set realistic expectations and not strict rules
at my last school we gave every Yr 12 student this book as their graduation gift :)
A4 maybe just that sometimes we don't realise the power within ourselves and need to be shown or reminded by someone else
A4: We all have many gifts, talents, skills (at any age)...they need to be discovered, nurtured, supported and refined.
Al. For me i think all you need to do something new it is inside of you. Go out your confort zone! https://t.co/Irv62WYKus
Q4:Maslow said, “Everything I need I’ve already been given.” What do you think he meant by this? https://t.co/TnF2UonOB7
A4... Life! Up to each of us to make the most of it ❤️ living!
A4 That each person has the internal capacity to self-actualise.
A3 I give Ss who don't eat lunch/breakfast time to eat in class it helps improve poor behaviour
A4: Be content with what you have so you focus on what you can do not what you can't do because life didn't give you something
A3: Smile and be welcoming, listen and remember something special about each one
Oh yes! Appreciation 4 diversity & what each brings 2 the table=empathy, respect & no fear. LUV
A4: Humans are quite resourceful. I choose my behaviour, no one else. We can’t change our past, but can choose to write our story.
A4 Humans have the skills to acquire basic necessities. Unfortunately, one might spend all energy at the base of Maslow's triangle
Oh that's great! You make learning fun :-)
I gave it and read it to my children when they were born
A4 that it's just a matter of drilling down into our psych for the answers
A4 agree with “self acceptance”
the Kiwi teachers in Aussie are here too - kia ora koutou!
A4 In theory this means we are ready and equip with a range of capabilities to learn but in reality this is not always the case
"There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts.” R. Bach
A4 I think it is all within us we just need to know how to use it. Sometimes with help
A3: Discuss, establish and agree upon values, goals, norms (trademark behaviours) for class. Likewise for behavioural management
A4 Every student has potential, gifting & talent. It's our role to help students discover it.
What does your Principal do(or previous Principal's)that you wish they did more of?
Yep! https://t.co/N5ye1D6T7L
"There is no such thing as a problem without a gift for you in its hands. You seek problems because you need their gifts.” R. Bach
A4 Maslow meant I had really good educators
A4: Every person has potential within them. Often they need a little extra support and belief to flourish
. Agree .Often get caught out in outside conversations. Have to explain which kids not my biological ones lol
A4 gifts and talents that need to be discovered and shared
A4: potential lies in a person. Ts should set free these given conditions and offer opportunities to unfold Ss’ personality
A3. Co-construct and model what is acceptable. Be clear what is not. Artifacts, charts, rainbows from differ cultures.
That's what I mean .Lets teach and engage from the heart and not from the book.Treat Ss with respect and equality
A4 everyone has power within, ready to flourish with the right environment
A4 with the basics in life you can go on to achieve...anything.
A4: Everyone has a special gift inside of them!
A4: I don't know exactly, but I can guess health, love, food and a brain!
I like!. I think that no feeling threatened by others' gifts but seeing as an opportunity to share & work together.
A4 Life, love and family (including furkids). If it doesn't cost $$ then I probably don't need it. Just personal values I guess.
yes I soend lots of time asking what do you think & pair sharing...
Apologies but I have a 7 year old that insists that I must read with her or she will stay up later! Thanks Ms Jena!
When I think about the hierarchy of needs, I am reminded of the power of Ts in affecting those needs... https://t.co/4c3QcM6bJY
Yes kight take my answer back the creative and critical of course m7st be a safe place https://t.co/SahMTtrJqs
A2: Keeping children safe in the literal sense but also allowing them the safety 2 be creative in learning https://t.co/aFTSE4qmoL
A4 Our job is to introduce students to things they didn't yet know they liked.
Yes, set free! Love that image.
Thanks . Am going to have to duck off now; have a ridiculously early start tomorrow... :(
A4 Many of our Ss arrive with nothing or very little and leave us with skills, confidence & a love for learning (my goal anyway)
A4: He meant that he's wellbeing was adhered to.
some students are amazing and have capacity to persevere with Blooms without satisfying Maslow!
A4) We have what we need to achieve greatness, I think about Helen Keller, despite it all she persevered and achieved success
A4: Reminded of the Lion King, "the past can hurt ... you can either run from it, or learn from it." Use experience to advantage
Are there sometimes behavior problems?
One can't work without the other and vica versa
Q4 we are what we are at any moment in time. When challenged, there's a choice - learn and be more or...
Touche https://t.co/xq84N2I0a5
Learning can be risky and challenging with a foundation of safety in the ability to make mistakes, & grow https://t.co/U2f3NEukJ3
A2 be safe! but education shouldn't always be safe! needs to be risky and challenging. If too safe do we promote good learning?
Q5: If all children come with unique abilities, how can we help each find and develop those abilities? https://t.co/g7jEAiQCZ4
*Note the role... - completely changed the message with that typo!!! 😱 A2
A4. A motivational message that we can achieve self-actualisation. The key in real life is that we do not all start out the same.
If I could wave a magic wand and change one thing in Ed. it would be how we view mistakes. So damaging
Awww....knowing you they all your kids in your heart.
Regardless of your age https://t.co/Vbrn5CQaLP
A4: Reminded of the Lion King, "the past can hurt ... you can either run from it, or learn from it." Use experience to advantage
A4: Capacity and opportunity. Ensuring Ts provide rich, varied opportunities for Ss to achieve success
So important - celebrating to show the relevance and importance of Ss' achievements. https://t.co/zrruwKcbX3
A3: I also think you need to celebrate children's achievements outside the four walls of the classroom https://t.co/4Z39LKhviD
A5. Passion projects allow Ss to show their talents, skills & personal interests that may not fit into your KLA areas
Maybe they are like shark seeds and then they hit teh ocean and grow... like sea monkeys
Is that because despite obstacles they have developed confidence and self esteem? https://t.co/fhNJPgLJoz
some students are amazing and have capacity to persevere with Blooms without satisfying Maslow!
They didn't have an answer for me, - but I'm eager to see what others thing. Esp as it applies to ed.
I wasn't suggesting you were. Ts need to help Ss identify the stereotypes that often define romanticised pathways
Rumi! How I love this quote. Hard to remember sometimes, but vitally important for growth mindset.
A5 get to actually know your Ss rather than simple getting through the curriculum
Q5: If all children come with unique abilities, how can we help each find and develop those abilities? https://t.co/J4ZaYGckte
A5. IMHO Ts need to create learning experiences which cater 4 each unique aspect of Ss abilities.
A5: Give them opportunity to grow, to fail and to learn. Let them tell us what they like rather than the other way round.
A4. That's a huge question. Don't take anything for granted. Do not assume.
A4 We all have the capacity within us to learn & achieve - others (govt tests) need to be mindful that we each have our own pace
A3 provide opportunities for them to experience soft skills development
A5. By giving as much fre time and as many different stimulus as possible in order to see where they love to learn! Exact opposite
Special needs children need extra effort from T especially during a melt down
Many thanks and PLN thanks for making me feel at home! Good night! https://t.co/DhvVxiE8zR
Thanks . Am going to have to duck off now; have a ridiculously early start tomorrow... :(
potentially yes, but also resilience (emotional and academic) and feel supported and motivated (by good relationship)
A4 think it means that we were born perfect the way we are but that we need to nurture each other's gifts to reach full potential
Ensure that you provide opportunities for them to demonstrate their abilities, student PD courses, cross curricular
A5 get to know the s, meet them half way, don't give up on them, and go the extra mile
I think Maslow was more about the individual finding their own pathway
A4: 2 arms, 2 legs and a heart beat + a brain to work things through
A4: I always think of Michelangelo who said he could "see" the sculpture in a block of marble. His job was to free it :-)
A5) First get to know each child
Second be in a frame of mind that you want to help EACH child
A5 Listen. Approach ss w an open heart&willingness to appreciate their POV. Provide support, encouragement; a soft place to fall
A5. Get 2 know ur Ss beyond their academic score, develop relationships, be genuinely interested in them
A5: Allow choice for learning experiences & content. Guided and supported self-direction where possible
A5) Believe in them & their abilities, support, encourage, love, care for them & about them
of what we are currently doing in our Australian classrooms!
I love doing that & surprising them
A5 just love them nothing changes more than being appreciated and knowing you can mess up and come back to a safe place
Maslow tells us to make sure we teach our children love https://t.co/uGCYYdUvSh
Apologies but I have a 7 year old that insists that I must read with her or she will stay up later! Thanks Ms Jena!
A5. We can give Ss a chance to find those abilities, time to develop them, and freedom to play. Encouragement is good too.
A5: A challenge of today’s education - personalization & individualization. I want 2 question class structure, grading & subjects.
.Loving these ?s.A5 By treating each S as indivs.Knowing thm,their interests,goals,abilities &even dreams
A5) Create personalized learning experiences 4 them at least once a week 2 follow their passions
Q5: Get to know them! Find their humour, interests and how to engage them.
A5 Get to know Ss and give them genuine choice
A5 Extra-curricula opportunities, clubs, electives, after school workshops.
A5 Un-Crowed the curriculum and use what is taught as vehicles for new opportunity rather than for the sake of learning.
A5: by getting to know them as individuals and finding out what makes them passionate
Hi, Tam from Nth QLD. Students need to know that they can take risks. They won't always be right the 1st time but that is okay.
A5: Meeting student needs starts with knowing our students and what they need. Our job is to create the spark!
A5 Keep Maslow's hierarchy in mind every day. Find out where a S is lacking & provide for that need as effectively as we can
Don't U think each S has potential to learn? I would like 2 see more awareness & support of different learners.
A5: Need to recognise the ability. Not be oblivious 2 it. Developin the ability by understanding & interactin w the student
A5. Know your students. Make Maslow part of your daily routine. Employ teaching methods eg that encourage individualisation.
And if you get to know each student think of all the cool conversations you get to have each day

Maslow,"It isn't normal to know what we want. It is a rare and diff psych achievement." Ping https://t.co/4LpQTvesou
A4: being psyc. We have all the tools within to make choices and positive change - you have to remember to open your tool box 🤓👍
A5: Differentiated instruction.
True - failure always means learning! So it is not bad but part of the process. https://t.co/H2vF73cy4V
A5: Give them opportunity to grow, to fail and to learn. Let them tell us what they like rather than the other way round.
A5 Get Ss to complete the VIA character strengths survey. Then empower them to develop their strengths. https://t.co/hO6yqfgzB0
Read the chat to her Anna
Going to jump out and prepare for last week of term - have a good week all!
A5: Providing rich, varied opportunities for Ss to achieve success. Rethinking assessment etc
A5 Clear Learning Intention (Ss knowing what and why they learning) & success criteria all Ss can access & be successful learners
A5: 'Uniqueness' brings opportunity for Ts and Ss...listen, observe and learn from each other, we all have much to offer.
A5: you have to get to know your kids, their interests, and learning styles to meet individual needs
Whoo Hoo So looking forward 2 this with excitement & adrenaline of walking into Ћ unknown :)
https://t.co/mXFB8wkn0e
A6 because we all need to be noticed, to know we matter, to know we will be missed if we are not there...
I'm totally with you - the same traditional organisational structure for almost 100 years. Time to cater for today's Ss
A6. Because these fulfill our intrinsic learner needs
does Maslow consider what that pathway might do to their lives, identity and community? I don't know him beyond UG
A5: If we weren't taught 2 compete &2 believe we should do everything ourselves how might we collaborate & support 1 another?
A1. Home plays a big part in a school day. Sleep, food and family support can cause havoc when lacking.
Love this! So much to learn from play! Need more!
A5: Let the learner choose what to learn - the educator notices and encourages abilities & if fortunate find their element
A6: We all have the need to feel validated.
A5. Take time to connect with each child. Get to know each one. Teach to the child.
A6: We have an innate desire to feel appreciated and valued by others
YES!! Thank you for this Lux. I love this cartoon too. It always gives me a laugh.
A5. Let the students tell us what they believe are their special talents. That's where the passion lies.
These are wonderful words to define what’s important in education. https://t.co/GcxOarM6ur
A5. We can give Ss a chance to find those abilities, time to develop them, and freedom to play. Encouragement is good too.
A6. Honour and recognition are the basis or respect and without respect for others you lose self dignity.
A5 it's easier to applaud someone when you feel good about yourself.
this one is Richard Bach in his novella 'Illusions'. Couldn't fit quote & full name into one tweet.
.A6As it builds self confidence & self esteem.Makes Ss feel valued.Always celebrate,honour & recognise Ss attempts,tries& successes
A6 because self confidence and self-respect are important. Honour for self respect, recognition for self-confidence
Think there must be & will be change in educational systems - it’s a need of this time/society.
A6 Success naturally breeds success. Science of behaviour says that we'll continue where we're successful & positively reinforced
A6 Ss need to know they are valued, they matter and they have a voice. We need to give them those opportunities.No one left behind
A5 hv school culture that celebrates & gives opp 4 diversity, value unique abilities of T, staff, community, provide opportunity
A6: Could be because putting yourself out there means you’ll cop some criticism. Our ideas are safe until we share them. Then...
If only I read M before I was told that I lacked the Skls to fulfil my dream would be a T much sooner https://t.co/PUaB6DGkDb
Q4:Maslow said, “Everything I need I’ve already been given.” What do you think he meant by this? https://t.co/TnF2UonOB7
A6 Dignity and respect are necessary to feel accepted and safe. SS who feel respected are more capable of taking risk and learning
Oh yes...we are so much more than our academic abilities. I love hearing Ss stories becuz reveal their inner life.
A6. Because it feels good.
A6: his focus was on the positive, or healthy aspects of psyc. He was staying true to form.
A5 watch, listen, learn be prepared to let them be sometimes so they can shine
A5 feedback on learning experiences gives students the opportunity to direct learning that suits their needs, likes and strengths
A6: Honour and recognition can be transformative when it comes to growth and learning...knowing one is appreciated and valued.
One last thing from a teacher's POV: how often to we forgo sleep, a base need (to balance work and life or for other reasons)?
A4 Maslow's Hierarchy reflects the time and place it was conceived. 40's middle class America.
A6. I imagine many Ts are on Twitter because of a lack of esteem or recognition in our own physical school environments. Important
Q7: “What is necessary 2 change a person is 2 change his awareness of himself.” Do you agree or disagree? https://t.co/f5sx7cbW1Y
A6: We all love recognition for our work, children are no different, homework grid allows for rec. https://t.co/FwYLCoibeU
A6: we know how both these things make us feel; why would it be any different for Ss?
A6. Here're lies Mr Yeates he was a great educator of young people in the 21st century! If I leave this behind I will be 😃!
glad to have entertained you! :) It probably resonates...
A6 Honor+recognition feeds self-image, self-esteem & self-confidence. All 3 need 2b healthy & +ve in order 2 achieve
Give them the freedom time to show you its so wonderful I love it
Q5: School must be a learning place for ALL focusing on LEARNING, its a culture shift. Providing what ALL student need to learn.
A5 support and encourage when they want to negotiate changes to their learning that better suits theit strengths
A6 Honour and recognition allow us to be reflective, grateful and appreciative
A6 because we ALL need to feel valued- that we matter & are important to someone whether we are the Ss or the teachers
A6 recognises us as social beings, interconnected
A6. The most important person to have respect for is yourself!
A6 We are social beings and need to know someone notices us?
A7 Our awareness of self is the lens through which we view the world. If our innate sense remains the same, change is superficial
it's true they know and feel the angst of what is real about life from home environment school may be their escape
A6 Honour and Recognition makes us want more. The spark to follow our dreams
Just remember how reaffirming & helpful it was 2 know my teacher saw me & how hard I worked. Made all the difference
A6: Honor & recognition - what else is important? How do U know your relevance? People are community creatures - we need feedback
Oooo that's a good point.
A6 - Because a person's a person,no matter how small.
A7 change can only happen if you are aware and accepting of it
. .A7.Not always change .Sometimes develop whats already there.
A7 Agree - need to know what you are changing, and why.
It builds confidence in your own ideas and opinions. It gives you a voice to express them.
A7) How many characters do i have?
Yes it is important but you have to live through this to understand
A7. Only if you want to change a person from -ve to +ve. A +ve person has a self image strong enough 2 sustain attempts at change
By the way everyone on tonight you have been noticed and you are all very talented! 🎉🍾👍🏻
By the way everyone on tonight you have been noticed and you are all very talented! 🎉🍾👍🏻
A7: Awareness over perception. Often a person’s self perception clouds the reality. Honesty helps, but only if we listen! And ask.
My Motivating Students page https://t.co/fsG6caI74W has links for Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs with images and diagrams.
A7 we may not always be the ones to see our potential. We need people to help us to grow.
A7 belief in self first - not pompous but humble
A6
In honour there is a you (u)
In recognition there's an I
Mutuality in learning.
A2. Emotional/physical safety. Do they feel that they belong, participate & feel comfortable to learn within the class space.
A7. Absolutely. We can only change ourselves when we recognize our areas of need in growth & have desire 2 change
+ "Education is not a destination, but it is a curious journey to enjoy the beauty of life" ~ D. Mridha https://t.co/Hw7kFSNNFC
Why are we so suspicious of feel good? Feeling confident, safe & seen releases chemicals that make it easier 2 learn
A6 The highly individualist culture it was conceived in. Not relevant to many community imbedded cultures.
A7 Agree. Self-image often reflects home environment. Ss need to see themselves as successful & capable to achieve more than that
A6,Getting each student to reach his/ her potential is the challenge for us.Remember there are many intelligences
it's our job to take our sts on that adventure that Nemo went on
part of the reason I speak to all of my s's individually when they come into class

Q4:Maslow said, “Everything I need I’ve already been given.” What do you think he meant by this? https://t.co/TnF2UonOB7
A7) Yes! Ss need to realize who they are, where to go in life, it's up to them to make it happen, choice/change is theirs to make
So simple, but how often does it happen?
A6: knowing you are good at something, is usually built from feedback of others - recognition of ability > honour the step beyond

Q7: “What is necessary 2 change a person is 2 change his awareness of himself.” Do you agree or disagree? https://t.co/RTxAAjzlps
A7. Rock and Water taught me more about me and my classroom than it taught the 20 kids I did it with! But you have 2B ready 2 hear
A7: Absolutely, mindsets are the deeply held stories we tell ourselves. First look inwards to the place where action originates

there are a few nuts I'm still trying to crack... will try again next term!
Q8: How can changing someone’s awareness result in self-actualization? Do you have an example to share?. https://t.co/fn2u1cWfbB
Many of the established child psych theorists buy into individualism. This concerns me greatly in a world that needs community
A7 absolutely agree, changed perception is a catalyst for change??
A6 Honour in doing your best = a job well done. Recognition of this by others & yourself encourages you to keep going & learning
Q8 How can changing someone's awareness result in self-actualisation? Do you have an example? https://t.co/W04RVWL1Dx
A7 agreed, through expressions of love
A7 It's better to build a boy than mend a man.
the reason coaching works is because it leverages learner's/coachee's own thinking. Change thought to change behaviour.
A7. Ss won’t engage in new learning experiences unless they see the necessity 2 advantage their own growth/interests
Those chemicals,I like to call it, "When I go all ADHD" thats how I try and get everyone in my class to be
The same to be said of chat moderators: what an insightful, important, poignant topic - thank you
Yes and that we have a part to play in the collective whole.
A7. To change a person... why would you want to do that? You shouldn't change people, you should inspire, encourage, and help them
This kid knows love. She's village raised, through and through.
Low self-esteem probably festers in the competitive environment of schools with standarised testing. Do away with it now!
Love this. Learning at its purest is high adventure with risk and reward, which makes it worth doing
A8 when you trust people they are more likely to take on the challenges you pose to them so trust is key...
A7) Real hard to change a person.
Life experience: you change when circumstances change - hard to do for others

A7: self awareness is vital 4 change 2 happen - 4 that change 2 "stick" with U. Then U get to decide if the change is good or not
One Final Challenge Folks: Please choose a Maslow quote that you connect with and share with your PLN. https://t.co/2ndyQyt15F
A7: agreed completely. U only provoke real change if U will reach cause of this behavior. And that’s always kind of thinking.
A8 helping Ss emancipate themselves from their own stereotypes can transform school, family, community. People make culture
A8: Ss in my school have a teacher mentor. Ss are more self-aware than other places I've worked. Def leads to personal growth

A6. I imagine many Ts are on Twitter because of a lack of esteem or recognition in our own physical school environments. Important
Great questions coming from a wise educator! Thanks really made me work/learn/reflect 2night! Appreciate it!
