Welcome to #EdChatME! Tonight we continue our exploration of Maine's Guiding Principles https://t.co/E3eO5HsM1D

andrewtwallace May 9 @ 8:30 PM EDT

Tonight's focus is Guiding Priniciple: "Self-Directed Lifelong Learner" (hereafter "SDLL"). #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:31 PM EDT

Let's start with the usual: who are you, what do you do, and for fun: #TeamIronMan, #TeamCaptainAmerica, or #NoneOfTheAbove? #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:34 PM EDT

@kelley_weiss welcome to #edchatme!

MichaelisMath - Moderator May 9 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A1: It's all about problem solving. "What do you do when you don't know what to do?" is the MOST IMPORTANT thing we can teach! #edchatme

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Miss Q1? Here it is! #edchatme https://t.co/CciAIpjkCl

andrewtwallace May 9 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Q1: Why is it essential that students leave school as self-directed lifelong learners? #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:35 PM EDT

@nataleestotz Hi Natalee! Is @angelasearles94 around tonight for #EdChatME?

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:35 PM EDT

A1: Learning isn’t finished at graduation- it's NEVER finished! Ss need skills to continue asking Qs & learning independently! #edChatME

DrewetteCard - Moderator May 9 @ 8:35 PM EDT

Matt-Curriculum Coord fr/ @AOS94ME & @MooseCampME. I choose #noneoftheabove #edchatme https://t.co/pLGIuw5UJR

Hi everyone, Andy here, Tech director in Southern Maine. Not to be contrary, but I am on #teamDCcomics #EdChatME

Sean_Malone May 9 @ 8:36 PM EDT

A1: Progression of socity comes from Ss learning the most from their own inquiry, interest, and advancement in life. #EdChatME

jbailey8 May 9 @ 8:36 PM EDT

Jeff, HS Technology Teacher Rumford ME. #teamnospoilers #seeingitthisweekend #imax #edchatME

Sean_Malone May 9 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A1: Without Ss themselves, who will continue the teaching and learning in life. #EdChatME

briley8557 May 9 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A1 #EdChatME All humans are wired to learn, it's biological! Making sure that we help our Ss become "good" learners is critical.

nataleestotz May 9 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A1: You can become a learner later in life, but it's so much more rewarding to become one earlier! #EdChatME

GeoffCyr May 9 @ 8:37 PM EDT

A2 No school can reasonably prepare Ss for everything they need to know in life. Ss need ability to hit the ground running #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator May 9 @ 8:38 PM EDT

A1) "...Teach a person to fish and s/he will eat for a lifetime." This ancient quote is ALL ABOUT SDLL & autonomous learning! #edchatme

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:38 PM EDT

@jbailey8 Hi Jeff! I miss you! #edchatme

nataleestotz May 9 @ 8:38 PM EDT

Hi #edchatme!! Erin, 9th grade English, Team CAP, obvs.

briley8557 May 9 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A1 #edchatme watching learners of varying ages tells us much about learning,it becomes more dif ,not imp, the older you get!

alicebarr May 9 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A1: Students learn how to learn - great future skill #edchatme

DrMerriRajaniem May 9 @ 8:39 PM EDT

A1. Jobs, careers, & required skills are constantly changing. We must be lifelong learners to change, adapt, be successful #EdChatME

jbailey8 May 9 @ 8:39 PM EDT

Q1: The #1 goal of schools to prepare for uncertain and changing future is to have SDLL. If not, we have simply not prepared Ss #edchatME

jbailey8 May 9 @ 8:40 PM EDT

@MsRedmanEnglish Miss you too Becca! We'll have to hang out soon. #edchatME

DrewetteCard - Moderator May 9 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A1) We can't be there as a safety net forever. We must TEACH and MODEL independence and autonomy in all things. #edchatme

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Or…" If you give a mouse a cookie… s/he/they will want a glass of milk…" and more discovery follows! #edchatme https://t.co/BLThZ0xOIg

briley8557 May 9 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Anyone here know what jobs our Ss will have in 5yrs, 10 yrs??? #EdChatME

kelley_weiss May 9 @ 8:40 PM EDT

In order to advance in any career and in society after school Ss will be responsible for their own professional growth. #edchatme

eringobragh29 May 9 @ 8:40 PM EDT

A1: Learning should never be allowed to stagnate. As the world changes, so must its citizens. Ss need to be able to adapt. #edchatme

nataleestotz May 9 @ 8:41 PM EDT

And therein lies the challenge of education- preparing our students for jobs that don't exist yet! #EdChatME https://t.co/gOvlqY7JPf

briley8557 May 9 @ 8:40 PM EDT

Anyone here know what jobs our Ss will have in 5yrs, 10 yrs??? #EdChatME

DrewetteCard - Moderator May 9 @ 8:41 PM EDT

@MsRedmanEnglish Those books celebrate codependency & bad eating habits, not independent/autonomous and healthy living. #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:42 PM EDT

No idea! So the best we can do is teach a foundation that is content plus inquisitiveness &#growthmindset #edchatme https://t.co/cWbpLMaQUu

GeoffCyr May 9 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard @MsRedmanEnglish Are we about to get political again? #EdChatME

briley8557 May 9 @ 8:42 PM EDT

But if we teach our Ss to be adaptable, to learn under different circumstances, to persevere, then we have ginned our Ss a leg up. #EdChatME

DrewetteCard - Moderator May 9 @ 8:42 PM EDT

@briley8557 maybe our governor knows? He has lots of inside info... #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:43 PM EDT

Q2: What does being a self-directed lifelong learner "look like"? What observable student behaviors exemplify this quality? #EdChatME

alicebarr May 9 @ 8:43 PM EDT

A1: Students learn so much by failing, try again, repeat. The SDLL will keep building those skills as they keep learning #EdChatME

briley8557 May 9 @ 8:43 PM EDT

That's asking a lot, although I bet he could make something up! #EdChatME https://t.co/bzJnzmqr0m

@jamiedunc3 Thank you! #edchatME is all about Maine's Guiding Principles this week, & specifically about creating lifelong learners. :)

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A2: Ask questions…about everything. Try new things & embrace challenges. Seek resources & share discoveries. #cantstopwontstop #edchatme

andrewtwallace May 9 @ 8:44 PM EDT

In case you missed Q2 #EdChatME https://t.co/qkK9Vz64OG

Sean_Malone May 9 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A1: SDLL leads to innovation, acceptable risks and failures, and progress. #EdChatME

jbailey8 May 9 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A2: Being curious, posing questions, reflecting on learning. Refining the process to "seek answers" and making better questions. #edchatME

DrewetteCard - Moderator May 9 @ 8:44 PM EDT

@briley8557 He does like to improv! Must be hangin out w/ @jbailey8 & @WickedDecent #edchatme

alicebarr May 9 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A2: Being willing to take a risk and try learning something new and different #EdChatME

WickedDecent May 9 @ 8:44 PM EDT

A2 Life long learners show curiosity -- show up w vids they have watched & share stories of how they used the info #edchatme

Sean_Malone May 9 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A2: Developing inquiry-based learning, exploring & implementing the habits of the mind. #EdChatME

DrewetteCard - Moderator May 9 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A2) It looks like inquiry and discovery and frustration and success and repeat. #edchatme

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@GeoffCyr @DrewetteCard it’s all about not being satisfied with the status quo and taking the #nextsteps beyond the glass of milk #edchatme

eringobragh29 May 9 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A2: They take the initiative to FIND OUT the answers to their questions! They research on their own. They Google EVERYTHING. #edchatme

WickedDecent May 9 @ 8:45 PM EDT

It isn't just the challenge of edu; it is also the challenge of the community to trust & invest in such #edchatme https://t.co/eoNLy9MeI1

A2 #EdChatME Knowing the next Q to ask, no fear of failure, embracing the heart of an entrepreneur, and having the heart to share!

AmyHediger May 9 @ 8:45 PM EDT

A1: To understand perseverance, to improve personal performance, and use resources to solve problems #EdChatME

GeoffCyr May 9 @ 8:45 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard @MsRedmanEnglish How about get a job and stop depending on the gubmint, mouse? #edchatme

andrewtwallace May 9 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A2: It looks like the kid consulting Youtube, @khanacademy or a classmate instead of just the teacher when presented w a challenge #edchatme

nataleestotz May 9 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A2: A willingness to view failure as opportunity for growth, not as an end. #EdChatME

DougHodum May 9 @ 8:46 PM EDT

A1. I want my students to leave curious. They start that way, and I want them to keep asking questions. #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator May 9 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@MsRedmanEnglish @GeoffCyr Or being greedy and always looking for the next best thing without actually appreciating what you have #EdChatME

nataleestotz May 9 @ 8:46 PM EDT

@angelasearles94 @MsRedmanEnglish Yay! Glad you're here! #EdChatME

nataleestotz May 9 @ 8:47 PM EDT

@GeoffCyr @DrewetteCard @MsRedmanEnglish Poor, misunderstood mouse. #EdChatME

kelley_weiss May 9 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A2 Asking questions and using new information to create connections with previous concepts or btw content areas #EdChatME

Sean_Malone May 9 @ 8:47 PM EDT

A2: The willingness to embrace and conquer the challenge, rather then follow. #EdChatME

jbailey8 May 9 @ 8:47 PM EDT

a2: willing to accept outside constructive criticism. Works as a group member and a leader #edchatME

WickedDecent May 9 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A2 Life long learners share long term goals; they say things like "I wanna design marketing someday, so can I make the logo for #edchatme

DrMerriRajaniem May 9 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A2. Curiosity and the desire to learn are indicators of SDLL #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:48 PM EDT

@briley8557 would love to draw more ties between SDLL and the entrepreneurial spirit- especially for my business students! #edchatme

DougHodum May 9 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A2. Asking questions. Taking on subjects about which they are curious. Going beyond what was asked. #EdChatME

GeoffCyr May 9 @ 8:48 PM EDT

A2: This. https://t.co/Gu9skM22mI #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator May 9 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A2) Lifelong learners figure out how to make random pop culture references fit into oddly appropriate situations. #synthesis #edchatme

nataleestotz May 9 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A2: Also a curiosity for things that they might not have originally thought they'd be interested in. An openness to new ideas. #EdChatME

angelasearles94 May 9 @ 8:50 PM EDT

A2 Not waiting for the Qs to be asked, taking initiative and discovering what's possible b4 it's even been done #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:50 PM EDT

Absolutely - I hope all students apply content to goals beyond HS - see real, authentic applicability! #edchatme https://t.co/oAZN7jjjau

A2 Life long learners share long term goals; they say things like "I wanna design marketing someday, so can I make the logo for #edchatme

Q3: How do (or might) you assess & track development of "SDLL" in your classroom or building? Any resources you can share? #EdChatME

AmyHediger May 9 @ 8:51 PM EDT

A2: Develop a plan, stay motivated despite successes and obstacles, prioritize, manage time, ask for help #EdChatME

nataleestotz May 9 @ 8:52 PM EDT

This is engagement! #EdChatME https://t.co/SQr9lro9Xf

alicebarr May 9 @ 8:52 PM EDT

A2: Need to be able to ask really good questions #EdChatME

briley8557 May 9 @ 8:52 PM EDT

At MS, our Ss are still quite idealistic, our challenge is to help them keep those ideals and belief in the impossible alive #EdChatME

jbailey8 May 9 @ 8:52 PM EDT

a3: Focus on growth over "grades" here. A grade implies an end to the learning. Growth is continous #edchatME

Keep driving that bus. Your chickens need you. #cdnedchat #edtechchat #vachat #learnLAP #edchatME #4thchat https://t.co/dGGWK35XsM

A3: I feel like portfolios are my answer to everything lately. But portfolios. Can use them to show change over time. #edchatme

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:52 PM EDT

@AmyHediger you are referencing the thinking behind #geniushour! have you ever tried it in your classroom? #edchatme

MichaelisMath - Moderator May 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A2: The hardest thing is getting started. Ss who tackle at least the beginning of a problem, and can point to "I"m stuck HERE." #edchatme

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A3: This is where I wish everyone made time for #GeniusHour - the ultimate SDLL model! @MisterCMaine has great resources! #edchatme

Sean_Malone May 9 @ 8:53 PM EDT

A3: Collection of electronic portfolio, eventually splitting up into the "Greatest Hits" & "B-Sides" #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT

@alicebarr YES! How do students learn how to ask great Qs? Any brilliant tricks to share, Alice? #EdChatME

jbailey8 May 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT

a3: to what extent is the student learning "independently"? How is s/he finding and evaluating resources? Posing questions? #edchatME

andrewtwallace May 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A3: student curated portfolios can demonstrate independent pursuit/passions and "self direct & lifelong learning." #EdChatME

nataleestotz May 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A3: I'm beginning to implement Personal Learning Plans. Get Ss involved in expressing their ID as learners & charting their path. #Edchatme

Sean_Malone May 9 @ 8:54 PM EDT

A3: Destroying the grades, focusing on proficiency, mastering, and SD growth. #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:55 PM EDT

@Sean_Malone I forget- where are you teaching and where are you at with assessing GPs? #edchatme

DrewetteCard - Moderator May 9 @ 8:55 PM EDT

A3) With a well written scale that is focused on 3 pillars of proficiency: CONTENT, COMPLEXITY, & AUTONOMY #edchatme https://t.co/Tv7In3YBxw

eringobragh29 May 9 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@DrewetteCard Does such a scale exist, Yoda? #edchatme

Sean_Malone May 9 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@MsRedmanEnglish Up in Dover-Foxcroft. We assess each GP every quarter as part of the report card. #EdChatME

briley8557 May 9 @ 8:56 PM EDT

Had a discussion w/T today about making part of the assessment process a S reflection to go along w/T report #EdChatME

alicebarr May 9 @ 8:56 PM EDT

@MsRedmanEnglish Last year we read Just one Change - really goos protocols and process of Students creating essential questions #EdChatME

GeoffCyr May 9 @ 8:56 PM EDT

Or a @Wonderopolis - style blog where Ss share the answers to their burning questions? #edchatme https://t.co/qlzWm5Aj6e

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 8:58 PM EDT

@briley8557 student reflection is key to growth! Even better? Add respectful peer-to-peer feedback channels as well! #edchatme

@MsRedmanEnglish also Right Question Institute #edchatme right https://t.co/tVvYt8tmhy

GeoffCyr May 9 @ 8:59 PM EDT

A3: I think Ss need opp. to control content + initiate learning on own terms. Otherwise, we're back to assessing compliance again #edchatme

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 9:01 PM EDT

Q4: How might "SDLL" be integrated across content areas? How might we best measure student growth towards graduation goal? #EdChatME

A3: Giving time, w/ specific probing questions, for students to talk to each other or use on-line formats for entire group #EdChatME

T_HEB May 9 @ 9:01 PM EDT

When Ss choose tech we suggest a mix of google classroom & exp everything to doc ind lrng. Table of contents helps @alicebarr #edchatme

jbailey8 May 9 @ 9:01 PM EDT

@T_HEB We don't run bells at our school, but still have schedule. The day feels so packed & rushed. Wish we could have more time! #edchatme

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 9:05 PM EDT

I hope someday we all have time, Ss & Ts, to pursue #GeniusHour / 20% time projects, share building-wide #edchatme https://t.co/qLaeJIikeJ

jbailey8 May 9 @ 9:01 PM EDT

A4: encourage use of independent projects like 20% time or passion projects #edchatME

briley8557 May 9 @ 9:06 PM EDT

Especially when you have THAT class that is going so well... and then, change! #EdChatME https://t.co/6ITVAh2oBM

@T_HEB We don't run bells at our school, but still have schedule. The day feels so packed & rushed. Wish we could have more time! #edchatme

WickedDecent May 9 @ 9:06 PM EDT

HS able to bestow scholarships & dept awards via committee & discussion; can we not also determine guiding principles achievemet? #edchatme

eringobragh29 May 9 @ 9:06 PM EDT

@angelasearles94 Oooh! I'm doing this for argumentation! Gave Ss the assignment bef. the rubric since they already knew it "all." #edchatme

nataleestotz May 9 @ 9:06 PM EDT

A4: It takes time & not everyone is going to be ready to move on at the same pace. How do we balance personal needs w/group needs? #edchatme

T_HEB May 9 @ 9:06 PM EDT

The clock is always watching. If we want to develop SDLL we need an env where Ss can noodle over problems & not rush #edchatme @nataleestotz

alicebarr May 9 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@jbailey8 https://t.co/nSRTJMnBL3 was what I was thinking of Sorry about that! #EdChatME

angelasearles94 May 9 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@nataleestotz I'm trying to navigate on my daughter's laptop :/ If anyone knows of grants for MacBooks for Ts, that'd be great :) #EdChatME

Sean_Malone May 9 @ 9:07 PM EDT

@nataleestotz Personalized-Customized Learning & empathy to meet the Ss where they are at & where they are going #EdChatME

nataleestotz May 9 @ 9:07 PM EDT

And more and more we see Ss with Exec. Function delay who have trouble transitioning. #EdChatME

T_HEB May 9 @ 9:07 PM EDT

Perhaps staggering times for teams of Ts who are available for cross curric conversation & support #edchatme @andrewtwallace @nataleestotz

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@eringobragh29 Yes: use of self-assessment in #EDU300USM ! @angelasearles94 - valuable dialogue emerges via rubric discrepancies! #edchatme

nataleestotz May 9 @ 9:08 PM EDT

@T_HEB @andrewtwallace Love this idea! Will have to play with it. #EdChatME

eringobragh29 May 9 @ 9:08 PM EDT

A4: Looking at doing some teaming next year. Going for PBE consistency across the disciplines. #sharingiscaring #EdChatME

DougHodum May 9 @ 9:09 PM EDT

A4. In some ways, to me at least, the SDLL might be easier to measure holistically, collaboratively, rather than by each T. #EdChatME

nataleestotz May 9 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@Sean_Malone This is what I'm working on now. #EdChatME

WickedDecent May 9 @ 9:09 PM EDT

Interesting example of problem solving & meeting the needs of users https://t.co/MNKwcognRx #edchatme #dtk12chat

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 9:09 PM EDT

@eringobragh29 tell me more about distance between rubric & assignment. “All" could be “3”… nailing it, the 4 #edchatme @angelasearles94

andrewtwallace May 9 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Q5: What challenges might you face in measuring and integrating SDLL? How might those challenges be overcome? #EdChatME

eringobragh29 May 9 @ 9:11 PM EDT

@MsRedmanEnglish Beginning assignment for unit, Ss claim to be able to argue successfully w/o new instruction. Gave 'em a chance. #edchatme

T_HEB May 9 @ 9:11 PM EDT

With our 4ths and 5ths we set aside 4 weeks or about 13 hours. #edchatme @andrewtwallace @nataleestotz

MichaelisMath - Moderator May 9 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A4 2/2: That said, we can integrate easily by asking Ss, "How might we ..." "where can this lead us..." & following those paths! #edchatme

MichaelisMath - Moderator May 9 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A4: 1/2 I'm stumped. I don't think everything we teach/model/learn can -- or should -- be assessed. #Noteverythingcanbequantified #edchatme

WickedDecent May 9 @ 9:12 PM EDT

.@DougHodum @cultofpedagogy what happens when folks disagree abt what is observable & measurable? #edchatme

eringobragh29 May 9 @ 9:12 PM EDT

@MsRedmanEnglish Ha. #somuchnope Posted rubric in GClassroom. Went over in depth. Kids facepalming everywhere. #itwasbeautiful #edchatme

AmyHediger May 9 @ 9:12 PM EDT

A4: Integrated by using same language and expectations w/ Ss coupled w/ opportunities to pursue passions in all subjects. #EdChatME

Sean_Malone May 9 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A5: The demands of "Inside the Box, Cookie-Cutter" education. Channeling my inner Jon Snow to push Ss towards greatness. #EdChatME

WickedDecent May 9 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Have to get out of #edchatme and do copious amounts of other work before the sleepy times; nice connecting w folks tonight

kelley_weiss May 9 @ 9:13 PM EDT

A4 Disciplinary literacy is an amazing way to increase Ss connections and measure transfer btw content areas and SDLL #EdChatME

DougHodum May 9 @ 9:13 PM EDT

Same here.....tough to leave, but S work is calling! Thank you everyone. #edchatme https://t.co/MBIVKXgVTo

eringobragh29 May 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT

@MsRedmanEnglish Ended w/excellent disc. about audience, bc Morrell may know what a First Person Shooter is, but other Ts may not. #edchatme

alicebarr May 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A5: Often the “final project” is the assessment but I wonder if the steps along the way can be checked instead. #EdChatME

jbailey8 May 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT

Have an early morning meeting tomorrow. I've got to jet. Let me know when you've solved the world's problems #teamEdChatME #edchatME

.@WickedDecent @cultofpedagogy Then we talk through it. Maybe you model it, have tough conversations. That is how we grow. #EdChatME

angelasearles94 May 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT

A4 Showing Ss how subjects intermingle in life. Math is not separate from Science. History is can't be sep from English, etc #EdChatME

nataleestotz May 9 @ 9:15 PM EDT

A5: Ss can no longer be passive. Hard shift for some. #EdChatME

DougHodum May 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT

.@kelley_weiss I agree completely. The exceeds boxes could almost be left blank, as long as it goes above and beyond the meets. #EdChatME

nataleestotz May 9 @ 9:16 PM EDT

YES, YES, YES!!! #EdChatME https://t.co/fv5PggDRId

angelasearles94 May 9 @ 9:14 PM EDT

eringobragh29 May 9 @ 9:17 PM EDT

@MsRedmanEnglish For me, 3 is the essential. Ss dance into 4s here and there, trail back into 2s w/some 3 traits still present. #edchatme

AmyHediger May 9 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A5: When school-wide rubric says "consistently" - what does this really mean from class to class? #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@MichaelisMath We met this hurdle last week re: GP! These are skills that, presumably, will be assessed as grad stds. HMW do that? #edchatme

nataleestotz May 9 @ 9:19 PM EDT

@eringobragh29 @MsRedmanEnglish Do you find that Ss want to know what the 4 requires? The "how do I get an A" mindset? #EdChatME

briley8557 May 9 @ 9:19 PM EDT

That is a great question! #edchatme https://t.co/JBuG4y9Btp

AmyHediger May 9 @ 9:18 PM EDT

A5: When school-wide rubric says "consistently" - what does this really mean from class to class? #EdChatME

eringobragh29 May 9 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A5: How easy it is for Ss to throw the "lifelong" part back at me, because I may not know them in 10 or even just 5 years. #edchatme

andrewtwallace May 9 @ 9:19 PM EDT

A5 A challenge of course is don't see the "lifelong"part. But we can keep in touch w former student & ask if they felt prepared #edchatme

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 9:20 PM EDT

Q6: How might we, as teachers, best model self-directed lifelong learning for our students? How are you a SDLL? #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@nataleestotz @eringobragh29 Yep! And that’s hard to break… it’s not about the grade, but about the desire to dig deeper! #edchatme

eringobragh29 May 9 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@nataleestotz @MsRedmanEnglish The 4 does not equal the A. This is the very first thing I #SEARCHANDDESTROY. Scores, not grades. #edchatme

angelasearles94 May 9 @ 9:20 PM EDT

A5 Reg check ins w/Ss. Be ready for the moaning, stay pos w/Ss. we're ALL learning & you have to self-eval. Ss are watching us #EdChatME

nataleestotz May 9 @ 9:21 PM EDT

And there is part of the battle /challenge w/Ss & Ps. Changing that traditional mindset. #EdChatME https://t.co/1RDSX2XfTw

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 9:20 PM EDT

@nataleestotz @eringobragh29 Yep! And that’s hard to break… it’s not about the grade, but about the desire to dig deeper! #edchatme

MichaelisMath - Moderator May 9 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A5: See also, A4 parts 1 and 2! #edchatme Not sure how/whether we *should* assess tendencies towards "self-directed lifelong learner."

MichaelisMath - Moderator May 9 @ 9:21 PM EDT

@DougHodum exactly what I thought, but didn't say quite so well. Conversations, not scores. #edchatme

GeoffCyr May 9 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A5: Ts not practicing SDLL themselves. I encounter a lot of fixed mindset re: technology, but I am just as bad in other areas #edchatme

andrewtwallace May 9 @ 9:21 PM EDT

#edchatme Q6 coming at you in as a flashy visual! https://t.co/6ALMapLSIp

Sean_Malone May 9 @ 9:21 PM EDT

A6: Always be willing to take risk, fail, experiment, learn, collaborate, and build. Infinitely repeat. #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@briley8557 I suppose I need to know where “consistently” falls on a scale before I answer… what’s on either side? #edchatme

DougHodum May 9 @ 9:22 PM EDT

.@MichaelisMath Thank you. I think that is something that is interdisciplinary. Ss will truly exceed in the areas of interest! #EdChatME

alicebarr May 9 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@GeoffCyr Great point. If we expect students to be lifelong learners, we must model learning too and failing at it! #EdChatME

jonpratt - Moderator May 9 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Sorry to have missed the bulk of the SDLL GP #EdChatME tonight, looks like the convo has been lively once again!

MichaelisMath - Moderator May 9 @ 9:22 PM EDT

Preach, @WickedDecent! #edchatme (for scholarships, etc., the decisions are made by a small group. That ok here?) https://t.co/cBvieS9mXN

WickedDecent May 9 @ 9:06 PM EDT

HS able to bestow scholarships & dept awards via committee & discussion; can we not also determine guiding principles achievemet? #edchatme

briley8557 May 9 @ 9:23 PM EDT

#edchatme This isn't popular, but sometimes, we don't see the full results until much later, after the S has graduated & is out in the world

AmyHediger May 9 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A6: Share/talk own passions/goals. Let Ss know you as a person, not just their teacher. These stories they remember yrs later. #EdChatME

nataleestotz May 9 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A6: We definitely need to be modeling this and sharing our own learning. Celebrate EVERYONE's learning, not just Ss! #EdChatME

eringobragh29 May 9 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A6: Convincing myself that I'm not collecting data for the sake of data. If it can be meaningful, I can get behind it. #edchatme

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 9:23 PM EDT

@MichaelisMath Given that… let’s just say you had to. What’s the safest bet, the most sound & measurable-ish source of evidence? #EdChatME

Sean_Malone May 9 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A6: I am a SDLL by being greedy. Taking and learning from everyone I interact with #EdChatME

andrewtwallace May 9 @ 9:24 PM EDT

A6: Talk to students & colleagues about things you that have learned outside your comfort zone. Be proud of learning new things. #edchatme

angelasearles94 May 9 @ 9:24 PM EDT

Couldn't have said it better! #EdChatME https://t.co/pegCf9Kodt

nataleestotz May 9 @ 9:23 PM EDT

A6: We definitely need to be modeling this and sharing our own learning. Celebrate EVERYONE's learning, not just Ss! #EdChatME

jonpratt - Moderator May 9 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A5 Big challenge for SDLL: many performance indicators require multiple pieces of longitudinal evidence, AND reflection. #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A6: I try new things all the time. New apps, explore curiosities, and ask Qs of colleagues in other content areas… just to learn! #edchatme

nataleestotz May 9 @ 9:25 PM EDT

A6: I went to a workshop right before vaca. Came back and immediately shared my learning with Ts & Ss. "I learned this...!" #EdChatME

GeoffCyr May 9 @ 9:26 PM EDT

Being SDLL can be situational. There are areas I'm ready to break out of comfort zone; others not so much #edchatme https://t.co/sjgyZ1hT2n

alicebarr May 9 @ 9:22 PM EDT

@GeoffCyr Great point. If we expect students to be lifelong learners, we must model learning too and failing at it! #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 9:26 PM EDT

A6 cont… I duck in on my Ss other classes when I can, just to have an understanding of co-learning or transfer opportunities! #edchatme

andrewtwallace May 9 @ 9:27 PM EDT

#NEXTSTEPS: What will you do this week (and beyond!) to actively promote "SDLL" with students & colleagues? #EdChatME

alicebarr May 9 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A6: Student unconference gives students practice sharing their passion but must be SDLL to pitch it. #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 9:27 PM EDT

Sometimes, my students are learning content in other classes I never learned, or forgot… I love to have them remind or teach me! #edchatme

briley8557 May 9 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A6 #edchatme Model your own learning and there us certainly a lot to learn on a daily basis in our schools. Showing how to deal w/failure 2

Sean_Malone May 9 @ 9:27 PM EDT

A6: Being an SDLL is understand the current moment of life. Connecting with Ss makes them want to be better. #EdChatME

MichaelisMath - Moderator May 9 @ 9:28 PM EDT

#edchatme #nextsteps -- I will keep helping my Ss break down lang. to find entry points, to be *able* to ask "how can I..." & "What next?"

kelley_weiss May 9 @ 9:28 PM EDT

A6 Share your learning and passion with your school community. Provide opportunities to open the school for community learning #EdChatME

MsRedmanEnglish - Moderator May 9 @ 9:28 PM EDT

@alicebarr say more! is this modeled after #Edcamp or #geniushour or a hybrid of both? #edchatme?

nataleestotz May 9 @ 9:29 PM EDT

#NEXTSTEPS: implementing Personal Learning Plans & explicitly teaching Ss who to be SDLL- SDL seminar. #EdChatME

alicebarr May 9 @ 9:29 PM EDT

@MsRedmanEnglish It’s a hybrid. Some organization up front because of numbers but passion based sharing #EdChatME

eringobragh29 May 9 @ 9:29 PM EDT

#nextsteps Continue to admit it immediately when I don't know something, and make a big deal of looking it up. #edchatme
