Q1: What resources have you found to be most useful related to ensuring equity in your classes? #RSDchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Feb 8 @ 9:34 PM EST

#RSDChat I wish I knew of helpful resources that focus on the topic. I just have my personal experiences & conversations w/others.

TechieTcher - Moderator Feb 8 @ 9:35 PM EST

This I can definitely use. The last time you & I talked #restorativejustice is helped immensely in my classroom. #RSDchat

A4: Share the impact/growth you've seen as a result. #RSDchat

gilliam_evelyn Feb 8 @ 9:53 PM EST

my former students were stunned when I explained this to them. They thought all Schnuck's were like Ladue Crossing #rsdchat

In reply to @halliesmills

TechieTcher - Moderator Feb 8 @ 9:54 PM EST

I want to take Ss to different locations & ask them what they notice & think. This is huge. #RSDchat

In reply to @halliesmills, @gilliam_evelyn

It really would be an interesting study - the effect a grocery store has on its community's access to diff. food. #RSDchat

A4: ...scaffold of support provided in the strategy...shocked Ss when I literally tore the book into parts for them to read #rsdchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Feb 8 @ 9:57 PM EST

This is why I really handed the inquiry and learning to the Ss.What they want to learn about, what they know. #RSDchat

Thanks all for a short #RSDchat tonight. Next month we'll be talming about attendance, and how to get Ferris in school. #ritenourexcellence

A4: Engagement up. Little to no behavior issues. Kids talk that don't talk anywhere else. Kids hang around the classroom #RSDchat

TechieTcher - Moderator Feb 8 @ 10:04 PM EST

So,true. How do you get students to buy in? #RSDchat

MrSmall215 Feb 8 @ 10:00 PM EST

There's something about negotiation that gets student buy in... Mostly because, they gotta deal with being peasants @ home...
